Cards for A Cause

Hi!  I am excited to offer a Cards for A Cause Class to Go!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month here in the US and I am offering this class in support of Breast Cancer Research.  As someone diagnosed with the disease last year, I wanted to do something to help further finding a cure.

The class features the Count on Me stamp set.  I love this stamp set and find it easy to make cards to support others going through a rough patch.  You will receive a PDF with how to make each of the 4  cards, the consumable supplies and the stamp set in the full class.  There are two other options as listed below:

  • PDF Tutorial – $20
  • PDF Tutorial + Consumable Supplies – $35
  • PDF Tutorial + Consumable Supplies + Count On Me Stamp Set – $55

$20 of each offering will be donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation in October.

Register today by sending an email to:  teresasstampinspot@gmail.com with your class option.    A Paypal invoice will be sent.

Class supplies will be mailed by October 18th.  PDF only orders – the PDF will be emailed on October 19th.

Register by October 2!

You Are A Blessing

Hi!  I just wanted to let you know that you are a Blessing to me!  I thank you so much for supporting my Stampin’ Up! business – whether it is by leaving a comment, a like, reading my post, my newsletter, or making a purchase.   I hope I have inspired you along the way.

I created this card using the Rustic Harvest Suite in the July-December Mini Catalog.  The only stamping is the sentiment.  That is stamped in Jet Black StaZon ink on a scrap of Basic White and punched with the Double Oval punch.  That is attached to the larger oval from that punch on a piece of Mossy Meadow scrap.

I love the look of the pumpkin – there are slight impressions in the die – which can be seen better in this picture:

 

I love the texture that adds to the card.

To make it easier to attach the curly vines, apply a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Mossy Meadow scrap before die-cutting.  This way, the adhesive is already on the vine and you can just peel it off and attach.

Here are the dimensions:

  • Base – Mossy Meadow – 4 ¼” x 11”, score and fold at 5 ½”.
  • Basic White – 4” x 5 ¼” – 2 pieces
  • Designer Series Paper –  3 ¾”” x 6 ½”, score at 5” and fold up
  • Basic White scrap for sentiment
  • Cajun Craze scrap for pumpkin die cuts
  • Mossy Meadow – scrap for vine and stem die cuts and oval punch

Yes, the Black and White piece is the backside of the Designer Series Paper – allowing you to score and fold up to see both sides.  Conversely, if you’d rather not use that much DSP, you can cut two separate pieces – the first measuring 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″, the second measuring 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″.  This should allow a 1/4″ overlap of the two pieces which is covered by the ribbon.

The second piece of Basic White is used for the inside of the card – as this is a dark color base, it is good to use a piece of Basic White on  which to write your message.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, Stampin’ Up! has announced Weekly Deals for the month of September -the first set of deals is available now with the next being released on Sept 8.  My favorite this week is the Kraft Note Card & Envelope set which includes 20 note cards and envelopes AND comes in a Kraft box!  This is perfect for creating a card set to gift this holiday season.  Check them out and all the rest before the new deals release on Sept 8.

Thanks for stopping by!
