The cards were prepped quite a bit because the craft level of the ladies at the luncheon was unknown and there would not be enough ink pads and stamps to be accessed by 150 women. Also having an assembly line process would have taken too much time at the luncheon so the card ministers did the stamping and cut paper and ribbon to prep. Then the pieces to each card were put in a ziplock bag with a postcard size instruction sheet. The ladies could then grab a ziplock bag and head back to their table to assemble using their own adhesive at the tables.
This allowed for a easy craft that would enable the ladies to fellowship. Also, it allowed time for them to write in the cards which is very important. I talked about the card ministry and it's importance and gave the ladies information on how to join the card ministry that meets monthly. I was very thankful for all my card crafting friends that helped out!
If you lead a card ministry, feel free to contact me for more information about how this was organized.
