Breast Cancer Fundraiser Card Kits

groupphoto1October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. This year our team had our 2nd Annual “Stamp Out Breast Cancer” Fundraiser stamp camp for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (American Cancer Society) and raised over $2700!! It was an amazing day, event and all for a great cause. I have left over make and take packets from the event, and we thought it would be great to offer the packets and donate all of the money back to Making Strides Against Breast cancer. Hurry these kits are limited, only available thru Nov 7 or while supplies last.

Linda used the Day of Gratitude stamp set (120835 wood mount, 121148 clear mount) and stamped the large flower image in Baja Blue classic ink. Then used sponge daubers and soft suede around the inside and the edges. It's a real WOW!

Fall leaves with the Spider Web

linda-cullen-1Gorgeous fall leaves created with the Spider Web impressions folder 120889??? Get OUT! My downline Linda Cullen created this card, it is simple and yet over the top all at the same time. The leaves were created with the Leaves #2 die 113459, then run through the Spider web impressions folder.

Then the Boho Blossoms punch 119858 for the "star" on top. Newsprint designer paper 121878 and the Many Merry Messages stamp set 116586.

Christmas Lodge Card Part 3

christmas-lodge-selenes-meeting-1 While we were preparing for the "Stamp Out Breast Cancer" Fundraiser last weekend, the team had a fun "stamp" night at my friend Selene's house stamping the projects.

The sample uses the Christmas Lodge stamp set (123767 wood, 123769 clear mount), and Pines & Poinsettias (123762 wood, 123764 clear mount)

Cindy’s amazing Halloween Quilt

cindy-halloween-quiltWhen we were at the Founders Circle retreat last month, my friend Cindy Peterson made this quilt one night! Seriously, in one night (no she didn't sleep at all lol). With the help of our friend, Susan Adams, they created this stinkin' awesome Halloween quilt. Susan had created that super cute Witches Boot treat holder from the video I posted last week. They used the same idea with the Holiday Stocking Die & 3-1/2 Inch Circle dies to create the Witches boot on the quilt. Those two may have been animals making this quilt in one night, but it really shows how awesome the Big Shot and it's dies are for quilting!
