Happy World Cardmaking Day, friends! I hope that you get to spend some crafty time today making cards, and using all your stamping & scrapbooking supplies. I get to be part of a very special blog hop today that I am super excited about!
Today at Pinkfresh Studio, we’ve chosen to reveal a very special stamp & die set called, Share Cheer, that is available for purchase now! When you purchase this stamp set, 100% of the net profits will benefit UNICEF. We chose this organization because they help children and operate in more countries than any other humanitarian organization. UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories and in the world's toughest places to reach the children and young people in greatest need. You can learn more about what they do HERE.
Share Cheer retails for $30 for the stamp & die set, and will only be available for a limited time! Grab this whimsical set today, and help us support a great cause!
As I mentioned, this is a blog hop & a card drive...and I will give you all the info you need at the end of my post. But first, let's check out the card set that I made! I knew that I wanted to keep the cards relatively simple in order to focus on the message of this stamp set & the whimsical main image, and this is what I came up with!
To start I stamped & heat embossed the main image & bow to cashmere and white cardstock blocks. I colored the white panel in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, and the cashmere panel with Uniball Signo gel pens in white & gold.
I mounted the stamped panels to the front of A2 cards in the opposite color using foam adhesive. Then I proceeded to stamp & heat emboss the sentiments to vellum, and one part to white cardstock. I cut out the scripted words using their coordinating dies, and trimmed the other sentiments into strips.
I added the longer sentiment to the top of the Zig colored panel, popping it up with some foam dots and covering them with jewel accents. I added the other sentiment to the pink panel, in addition to the puffy sticker ampersand. I added a jewel to the middle of the bow as an added accent. Finally, I added a little shimmer to the Zig colored card with my Tonic Aqua Shimmer pen.
Here is a peek at each card by itself.
As I mentioned above, this is a really great blog hop with some amazing inspiration using this stamp set! I know I can't wait to sit down with a cup of coffee in the morning and really get a chance to see the creations in full! Here is the full link list:
