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.

  • Under the Moon Dutch-door card with video & free project tutorial

    I shared how to make this pretty card on last week's video. It features the Under The Moon stamp set which is what I refer to as a 'scene builder' set – one of my favorites to play with.  It's super fun & easy to create with! 

    Under the Moon Pink Save

    See the two toned clouds & moon?  I used sponge daubers and 'direct to ink' techniques for this. You can see how it's done in the video here or below.

    Below is the view when the card is open.

    When making a Dutch door fold you have a few choices on adding the front half. You can make your 'door' an inch or so wider than 5 1/2" so you can add the score line. Or make it 11" wide and score it at 5 1/2".  Or the other option is to cut a full size card – 4 1/4" X 11", score it at 5 1/2" and cut off the section you do not want.

    My card stock colors include: Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy and White.  To these I also added these inks: Azure Afternoon (water & sky) & Peach Pie (moon) and Smoky Slate (clouds). 

    See the Under the Moon stamp set here.  I also used the Unbounded Love bundle for the greetings & dies seen here.  Remember that starting Wednesday all stamp & die bundles are an extra 10% off and will be 20% off through June.

  • Basic Beige; a beautiful new neutral color in our line. Last day for the In Color deal!

    Everyone is loving the new Basic Beige color Stampin' Up! added to our basics line this year.  

    I created this card for a recent online swap I joined. It features one of my recent favorite sets; Wildflower Designs.

    I paired it with Copper Clay and White here.  We have four new products in Basic Beige – card stock, ink, ink refill and ribbon. It's a beautiful neutral! 

    There are coordinating dies to go with this pretty set too.  See this bundle  here:

    Details on this card:

    • The wood designer paper on the sides is from the Meandering Meadows 6" paper pack. 
    • The rectangle die-cut is from the Radiating Stitches dies which recently retired from our Online Exclusives. 
    • The background was made by stamping the little hashtag type stamp repeatedly in Basic Beige ink.

  • A Little Latte cards – all made from leftovers on my desk!

    I decided to have a staycation this last weekend. I rarely take a day off at home; it seems like the only time I take an entire day off is if I leave town.  I tried my hardest to stay out of my studio on Saturday.  I lasted until 5 pm; then I couldn't resist playing a bit.

    I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups in a baggie and thought they'd make great thank you cards. So I pulled out my A Little Latte designer paper pack and some extra greeting tags and made these cards. 

    The designer paper pieces were either strips or squares so I arranged the fussy cut coffee cups over the largest pieces.  I think they turned out great for cards made without a plan!

    The only thing I purposefully prepped were the card bases and White textured layers (So Swirly embossing folder seen here). The rest are all scraps!
