MOTHER’S DAY LETTERS TO MOM: PART IV

Mother’s Day is this weekend, can you believe it? Oh, how time flies!

 

We’re so happy to bring you our fourth and final installment of our Letters to Mom series! We asked 11 awesome moms to share a letter to their own mother or a mother-figure in their life, celebrating what makes their family unique and what lessons they hope to pass on to their own children. We’ve been so moved by the incredible tributes to mothers, mother-figures, and children that these wonderful women have shared with us. Thank you for following along and being a part of a campaign so near and dear to our hearts!

 

And, remember to follow us on Instagram for even more fun!

“Growing up, I didn’t know my father, but I was lucky to be raised by strong women. My mom and grandmother have always taught me to be brave in the midst of life’s challenges. I couldn’t have asked for better role models for my dear girl. Mom, thank you for teaching me strength and courage. I already see these qualities developing in Emma; she is unyielding, fearless, and passionate! I hope to fill this memory box from @cardtorial with photos of Emma’s childhood adventures and love letters from me.”  –Arriane, of @arriane

“I’ve been blessed with a mother who has the biggest heart. Growing up, she would always read and sing to me. A favorite song was, ‘You Are My Sunshine.’ She’s always stressed how important it is to read and sing to the little ones to stimulate their brain. This is something I’ve always tried to make sure I do with my children every day. Having the opportunity to give her grandchildren and watch her open her heart and show my babies so much love has been the best.” –Sheila, of @sheilamadrigal

Celebrate Cardtorial’s 2nd Kickstarter Anniversary!

Did you know that October marks the 2nd anniversary of Cardtorial’s Kickstarter campaign? In September of 2012, we launched a Kickstarter to raise funds for our very own laser cutter. After meeting AND surpassing our goal (thanks to all of our amazing backers), we were able to really grow Cardtorial into a sustainable business!

Kickstarter was an inspirational and wonderful experience. We felt so encouraged and supported by our backers! Without a doubt, running the campaign was a major turning point in our lives. Just a few months after the campaign ended, I quit my day job to run Cardtorial full time!

To thank all our supporters, we’re offering a coupon code for 20% off your next purchase on www.cardtorial.com!!
