Ukraine Fundraiser

Hello,

We have such super exciting news to share with you! Because of your support for Yana Smakula and the war effort in Ukraine, together we raised, wait for it...$25,210.31!!! A special thank you to all the designers that made cards and posted for this cause. We're hoping that more cards and posts will continue to be shared.

And where did your donations go?

Check it out...

From Yana on April 27th~

"We got up early today to drive over there and look at it. Oles my husband arranged everything and the guys from the military also drove to that place - they had a specialist who knows about these trucks, he examined it and said it was good. The deal was made on the spot, we transferred money and they went to a local office to finalize the papers. We also got a $1000 discount off the asking price. When the seller realized we were buying this for the army he instantly gave us a discount, plus added some extra tires and wrenches. Very exciting and big day today. These military men are currently stationed about an hour away (we are in Ternopil), but they are being transferred to the East and front line on Friday. We purchased this exactly in time for them."

Thank you! None of this would have been possible without your help!

How wonderful is it to actually be seeing how our fundraising efforts are being used!

If you haven't already purchased this set you still can...the proceeds from the sale of this stamp set and matching die set will continue to go to Yana & Oles for putting boots on the ground.

It's really a small thing compared to what they are experiencing over there and we hope this helps a little.

Thank you to all that made this possible!

On a lighter note here is the video of Lor's visit to Fox31 Crafty Idea For Teacher Appreciation Week.

Here's the video from our email yesterday when 3C was in the news at Fox31 Denver. Laurion (Lor) our very own Customer Care Specialist did a really awesome job sharing card making!

Her sister is on the left, Belle (shipping manager) who went for moral support and Adrienne made the sweet little card...yes, proud momma here! We have no idea how the news station found out about 3C. They called on Friday and asked if we would be willing to come share some card making on Monday to support our teachers.
