Have you heard of Movember?  It’s been growing for years now, since it started in 2003.  But what is it all about?  From their website:

“Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.

A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.

Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.” – www.movember.com

I’ve often wanted to support Movember, but as a lady, I’ve never been able to grow a moustache.  But as a crafter, I can help in other ways.

This year I’ve made some cards to give out at work.  I’m proud to be part of an organisation that shines a light on important matters, and Movember is one of them.

I’ve used the (sadly retired) “Rugged Icons” dies alongside our notelets.  You’ll see I left some as full beards, and trimmed others to just the moustache.  Then I added a strip of card in corporate colours along the bottom.

If you’d like to make your own cards, why not check out some of our all-inclusive kits?  Everything you need is in the box (apart from scissors, but you have a paid of them already, right?)  You’ll get full photo instructions, plus a video you can watch to help you put these together.  They’re great for team building events, or rewarding your hardworking staff with some crafting time, proven to help with mindfulness and creativity.  Find the full kits collection here, or sample one of the kits below.  The Saying Thanks kit is great for every occasion, and comes with greetings in English, French and German.  The Christmas Ornament is a fabulous festive choice, to get some decorations ready for the office.  The Colourful Kaleidoscope kit is a favourite for Diwali with it’s bright mandala art.
