What You Get

Cool Project

MyCards is a fun and exciting card design lesson + fundraiser with absolutely no cost to your school! It allows all of your students to create a card design and see their work in print. We provide all the supplies you need to teach the MyCards lesson, and parents have the chance to purchase card boxes of their own child’s design. In conclusion, you make a profit of $3.60/box ordered to your art program. Teachers find it easy, organized and fun to do!

Standards-based Art Lesson

Lead your students through the MyCards™ process of creating and publishing a quality card design. Using our three day, standards-based lesson plan as a guide, you’ll teach your students to create an attractive card design that compares with cards they see in stores and galleries. Allow 2-3 class periods to complete the lesson.

Free Press Kit of Supplies

We send a customized press kit free of charge with everything you need for a fun and rewarding classroom project: teacher’s guide, three day standards-based lesson plan, sample cards, design templates, and parent notes and order envelopes.

Great Product

Each student’s card box contains 10 (4×5) cards with envelopes of that student’s design. Each card features a full color reproduction of the student’s design on the front and his/her name and school on the back. Cards are printed on premium card stock and boxed in clear plastic boxes for a beautiful presentation. Allow 3-4 weeks to receive the cards.

Money for Your Art Program!

Parents may purchase retail quality card boxes of their child’s design at a special school price of $18/box, shipping included. You profit $3.60/box to your art program for every box ordered.

Everyone Wins

Students love this fun art project and seeing their work in print. Parents love the professional product. You’ll love the students’ enthusiasm and extra money in your classroom fund. We love making cards!
