Awesome fundraiser last weekend!


Last Saturday we held a big fundraiser for two of my favorite local charitable organizations here in Minot, ND. It was an amazing success because of the many donations & volunteers. 

I kept feeling a nudge to do this and I knew my friends & community would join in. I was thrilled with the many people that helped pull it off.

We raised over $3400 in sales towards these charitable organizations. Woo hoo!

We focused on baked and craft items at our sale hoping to help people with their Holiday baking & gift giving.  A local church offered us their Parish Hall to hold it.  Here are some pictures of our goods. 


We had an amazing group of donations. We were asked by many if we would do it again next year; and I sure hope we can!  


Here's a little information on these two organizations:

Hairball Haven is a local feline rescue that takes in homeless kittens and cats, provide veterinary care, immunizations, spays or neuters and houses them until they find new, loving homes.  They currently have over 100 in house & in foster homes.  An average vet bill is $20,000. They're amazing and I'm so happy to help support them. My granddaughter Eliza loves to volunteer there when she's in town.  Here's a link to their FB page and donation link.   

Matthew 25 Project is the other wonderful organization we donated to.  They are a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost. My friend Melissa started this in Minot and 1000's of people have benefited from their generousity. It's run by volunteers but they do have rent, gas and heat bills.  Here's a link to their FB page. 

I love this time of year when everyone feels the need to give to others.

  • 3 more pretty fun fold cards for you with measurements; one is a sneak peek of upcoming product!


    I hope you're enjoying the awesome fun fold cards I've been sharing this week.  My Flowerbugs Team swaps were incredible this month!  Our theme was to make fun fold cards featuring a new In Color. 

    First up today is Candy's card which features Secret Sea with Cloud Cover & Vanilla. 

    She used the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  It's one of my favorites!  She created her own background using the stamps in the set and Secret Sea ink – stamping off first for some. 

    Measurements:

    • 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla panels 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • Cloud Cover 1 1/8" X 5 1/4"
    • greeting die-cut 2 1/4" X 3/4", layer is 2 3/8" X 7/8" 

    The textured panel is done with the Pressed Flowers embossing folder seen here.

    Next is a lovely card made by Ginny featuring the Beautiful Gallery designer paper seen here.  It's part of our Suite BOGO sale too; in fact the entire suite is included!  

    Her layout shows off the entire scene pictured on the DSP. This fold is perfect for scenic papers! 

    Measurements:

    • Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White is 2" X 5 1/4"

    Lastly we have a sneak peek of some upcoming product from Kim. She used a suite featured in a Demo event called Creativity Now this month. She was able to pre-order the Peaceful Garden suite items that will be in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September, 2025. 

    Her card is a simple Z-fold that really shows off that front White textured panel.  And look how the die-cut greeting label fits in that embossing panel! *notice those new flower gems….

    She did a neat technique for her greeting panel. She used Secret Sea ink and a Blending Brush over an entire sheet of White card stock. Then she stamped and die-cut the label and the inside sprig from that. Super idea!

    Measurements:

    • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • White front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

  • 3 fun fold cards celebrating Strawberry Slush!


    I have THREE neat fun fold cards from our June Team card swap.  My Flowerbug's did an incredible job on their fun fold cards!  

    First up is Sharon's card featuring the Cheers & Sips bundle seen here. 

    The top card base layer is scored to creates a box that pops up & supports the front panel. Super neat! 

    She added Fine Tip Glue to her fussy cut drinks for some shine.  To do this you need to let it set awhile to dry. I'd recommend two layers.  If you don't want it to get a bit curvy from the liquid in the glue, add a layer of card stock under it.  

    Her inside greeting is from the Unbounded Love set.  The gems are from the Holographic Resin dots.

    Measurements:

    • Strawberry Slush card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 5 3/4", 6 1/4", 7 3/4"
    • front CS panel 2 3/4" X 4"
    • DSP 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 5 3/8", pieces under the greeting are 2 3/4" X 1 1/4", 2 3/4" X 1/4" and inside is 2 3/4" X 1 1/4" 
    • inside White panel 2 3/4" X 4"

    ~~~

    Next is a neat Latch card made by Kathy who used the Sweet Jar bundle seen here. 

    Her colors include Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. The Designer Paper is from the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here. 

    The front flap opens up to reveal another panel that she stamped with coffee beans and the die-cut from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies (now retired).

    And the front panel open up too!  

    Measurements:

    • card base 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • White panels X 3 – 2 3/4" square; inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Strawberry Slush square 3"
    • 2 1/2" X 1" scored at 1 1/4" connecting piece

    ~~~

    And now for the final card today. This one was made by Paula and was cased from Heidi Colins.  It's called a Buckle card:

    She used the Floral Impressions DSP on the front and cut a window in the front panels so the buckle could slip in.  

    Products used include the Stylish Shapes dies, Swirly EF, In Color flat pearls, and Brass Butterflies.

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 4" X 5 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 1/2" 
    • buckle 4 1/2" X 1 1/4" scored at 1/2"
    • largest circle is 2 1/8" but Paula recommends slightly larger

    Here's the final opening:

  • Two more fun fold card swaps by my Flowerbug’s; with measurements!


    Today I'm sharing a few more fun fold cards from our June Team swap with my Flowerbug's.  Our theme was to do a fun fold card using at least one new In Color.  Their cards are amazing!  I'll be sharing them all week!

    First is Marla's card made with the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here.  

    It starts out as a book binding fold… but look what's inside!  An explosion card! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP in front 4" square, 1" X 4" strip
    • DSP inside is 6" square. Score in half twice and once diagonally. Adhere only the flat (non-scored) squares to the card inside. 
    • inside white 2 3/4" square

    ~~~

    Next is Jacki's amazing card; who also chose the Florals in Bloom DSP. 

    Her colors include the new Secret Sea (dark blue) with Peach Pie & Pumpkin Pie. Her stamp set is 'With You in Mind' and the 'Delightful Wishes bundle' for the flowers.  Here's how it opens: 

    Measurements:

    • White card bases – two pieces at 10 1/4" X 4" scored at 4 3/4". It's then scored from the bottom left corner to the upper right at 4". The center flat panels overlap each other. 
    • Secret Sea – 3 3/4" square, cut in half on the diagonal – 1 for each side, panel under greeting 3 1/8" square, sides are 5/8" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 3 1/2" cut in half on the diagonal – 1 for each side
    • White front 3" square, white inside 5 1/4" X 4"

    Isn't it neat?  Her inside greeting is from the Notes & Totes stamp set seen here.
