Share Sunshine Cards To Help Make A Difference

As we prepare to say goodbye to the Share Sunshine PDF that Stampin' Up! has offered to raise funds for COVID 19 charities, I thought I would share some cards that I created using some of the wonderful images and sentiments from this PDF. With the challenges we are all facing, sending cards to people to show that you care and help them feel like they are not alone, is a wonderful way to help make a difference. I hope that you enjoy the cards I have created.

 The three card designs I have to share with you today, were created using some retiring products from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and it was a great opportunity to used up some supplies that I had in my crafting stash. Two of the card design use the Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes, one silver and one gold to create clean and simple card designs. The third card design was created using cardstock for the card base that coordinated with the designer series paper I chose.

 This light hearted card design features the image and sentiment from the Share Sunshine PDF and I colored the "Quarantini" with Stampin' Blends Markers to add a pop of color. I chose one of the designs from the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper for the background and I love the contrast of this distressed background with the Silver Foil of the card base. 

 The second card design, features strips of the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper, adhered to the Gold Foil Edged card base to create the background. I added a layer of Gold Foil that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies to create a frame for the larger sentiment and added the small sentiment that I punched out using the Classic Label Punch to the bottom right side of the card front. This would work great as a masculine card design .

My final card design combines the sentiment from the Share Sunshine PDF with one of my favorite retiring stamp sets, the Beautiful You stamp set. I just felt like the image in this stamp set fitted perfectly with the sentiment and the pretty pattern of the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper. I colored the image using Stampin' Blends Markers and added Clear Wink of Stella for a touch of shimmer. For this card design, I chose to use Rococo Rose cardstock for the card base and the matte layers for both the focal image and the sentiment. 

The Share Sunshine PDF is a wonderful resource for images and sentiments to use on projects during COVID 19 to share love and support with friends, family, coworkers and first responders. There are 15 pages of images and sentiments that you can print up for your personal use. Today, June 2nd, is the last day to order this wonderful PDF and support COVID 19 Charities. To order this PDF, click here.

I hope that my card designs inspire you to create and share your own projects to help brighten the lives of others. Together we can all make a difference, no matter how small. Hoping you are all safe and well. Take care and be kind to each other. 

Until Next Time

We Create Making A Splash Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with the We Create Making A Splash Blog Hop as we showcase projects for the month of June. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas for this month's theme that are sure to cause a splash. I hope our projects inspire you to get creative. 

 For my card design, I chose to use the cute We'll Walrus Be Friends stamp set, which is retiring June 2nd. I love the cute images and sentiments in this stamp set and will be sad to see it go. I combined it with the #Share Sunshine PDF, which Stampin' Up! is offering until June 2nd, to raise funds for COVID 19 Charities. There are so many wonderful images and sentiments in this PDF that are perfect for what we are all facing right now and are great for sending out cards to people to show you care. 

 To create this card design, I chose the Silver Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes, which have sadly sold out. I added a layer of Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (item #149497) to create the background. This pretty paper is also on the Last Chance Retirement list. I love the tone on tone medallion design of this paper for the background and the Pretty Peacock adds a nice contrast to the Pool Party I chose for this card design.

The focal image was created by stamping the Walrus image from the We'll Walrus Be Friends stamp set (item #149367) onto Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut the image using the Layering Circles Dies (item #151770) and created the matte from Pool Party cardstock with one of the scalloped circles dies. I attached the image to the card front with Snail Adhesive.

Using the Layering Ovals Dies, I die cut the sentiment from one of the printed pages of the Share Sunshine PDF that can be ordered here and added it to a layer of Pool Party cardstock that I die cut with one of the scalloped oval dies from the same die set. I attached the sentiment to the card front with Snail Adhesive, below the focal image. I love the combination of the sentiment from the Share Sunshine PDF with the cute images in this stamp set and it shows how many possibilities there are to create beautiful cards to send to friends and family during this challenging time. 100% of the proceeds of the Share Sunshine PDF go to charity. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own fun projects that will help brighten people's day.
