Make a Wish!

I was so honored Gina K asked me if to participate in her Stamps for a Cause fund raiser this year.  $7 from every set sold will go to the Make a Wish foundation.  The full set is pictured above -- it's available in deeply-etched red rubber wood-mounted or the same red rubber in unmounted with cling vinyl cushion to use with acrylic blocks.

You can order your stamp set from StampingFreak.com and know that your purchase will help so many children realize their dreams.

The special design team she put together for this release (which includes her multi-talented original design team, too) created some awesome samples -- you will see them appearing on Gina's blog over the next few days, as well as her special Stamps For A Cause site.

Over the next three days, I'll feature the three samples I created.  Here's the first:

I loved the dandelion image in this set the most and this was the first idea I tried with it.  The flower is stamped in white craft ink on Stampin' Up's bashful blue cardstock and mounted to a black card base.  The background was then dotted with a black marker and the corners were clipped with SU's ticket corner punch. 

The black scalloped strip was created with SU's new, smaller corner rounder punch (with the corner guard removed).  Michael's black polka-dotted grosgrain ribbon was adhered over the scalloped strip.

A dandelion was stamped again with white craft ink and punched out with 1-1/4" circle punch and the sentiment stamped over it in black.  It was matted with a 1-3/8" circle punch of black cardstock and a black Vintage brad (SU) added.  After mounting with dimensionals to the card, all the dandelions got a sprinkling of Stardust Stickles, for lots of glitter!

I'm also happy to report the move to the new house went well and I'm finally back today with Internet service -- yay!  I wish the same could be said for my craft room/office . . . it's been an adventure that will deserve it's own post soon, so stay tuned!
