Teach a lesson on card design
and we’ll donate $5 per student* to your art
program.
It’s pretty much that simple! |
The Art Lesson
Lead your students through the MyCardstm 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, compelling card design that competes with cards
they see in stores and galleries.
The Press Kit
When you choose a time to teach the lesson, we send a press kit that includes
everything you need for a fun and rewarding classroom project: teacher’s
guide, three day standards-based lesson plan, sample cards, final design
templates, parent notes & order forms, individual class organization
envelopes, even a box & prepaid return shipping label.
The Card Boxes
Each student’s card box contains 10 4x5 cards w/envelopes of that
student’s design. Each card features a full color reproduction of the
student’s final design on the front, and the student's name and school
on the back. Printed on premium card stock, cards are boxed in clear plastic boxes for a beautiful presentation that parents
love.
*The Money for Your Art Program
Parents are offered retail quality card boxes of their student’s final
design at a special school price:
1 box @ $14.95, or 2 or more boxes @ $12.95/box. For each student who
orders cards, we’ll
donate $5 to your art program! How great is that? Do the math! # of
Students you teach _______ x $5 = $_________!
Everyone Wins

You’ll love the students’ enthusiasm and extra money in your classroom

Frequently Asked Questions
I want to participate in MyCardstm
- what do I do now?
Call (800) 208-8900 and tell us when you’d like to teach the lesson.
We’ll reserve press time accordingly.
How much will it cost me to
participate?
There is no cost to the school whatsoever. We even provide a prepaid
return shipping label in your press kit.
What if none of my students (or
very few) order cards?
There is no minimum order. Whether all order, or if none order, students
get a fun and valuable art lesson. Typically, 90% of your students will
order if you are an enthusiastic teacher.
How do you calculate your donation
to my art program?
We donate $5 for each student who orders at least 1 box of cards. Ex. If
200 students order cards, you will receive a check
payable to your art program fund for $1000.
Can I be paid on a per box basis
instead?
Yes, we can donate $2 per box instead of $5/student. You must tell us if
you prefer this payment method before you return your completed press
kit. You may only choose one payment calculation for your order.
How long will it take to teach the
lesson?
Approximately three 45 minute class periods. Here is a suggested time
line:
Day 1 Teach the lesson. Begin creating the rough draft card design.
Day 2 Finish rough draft and begin creating the final design. Send home
order forms.
Day 3 Finish final designs. Collect order forms. |
