Stampin’ Up! Christmas Cheer Challenge


Last weekend I hosted two card making sessions, to support the great Stampin’ Up! Christmas Cheer Challenge.  What is this “Challenge”, I hear you ask?  Well, Stampin’ Up! was on a mission to make 10,000 Christmas cards for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).  RMHC provides free “home away from home” accommodation for families with children in hospital.


 For my sessions, I asked each attendee to make 10 greetings cards – utilising 5 different designs – and to donate half of them to the “Challenge”.  A good time was had by all and, in total, 108 cards were made, a lot of tea was drunk, and a fair few biscuits were eaten along the way (it is written somewhere that a card making army marches on its stomach – not too sure about that, but I can confirm that crafting is thirsty work!).  The pictures included here hopefully give a flavour of the days’ activities and the fruits of our labours!  Whoever thought that being part of a production line could be this much fun?  And all for a great cause, too.  A huge thank you to everyone who took part. 

   
I'm pleased to report that the final card count for the Christmas Card Challenge was 17,778!  What a whopping great number of cards donated to RMHC!  I'm so pleased to have been part of this event.

Love is all around...

Welcome to my blog today.  I have made some cards especilally for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlight for November.  Family circumstances meant that I wasn't able to contribute a project in October, so I'm super happy to be able to share something this month.  Each month there is a different theme to work towards.  This month the theme is LOVE in all its ways.


The best bit about this Highlight is that you can vote for your favourite projects.  I would love it if you would vote for my project HERE.  The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop so I would really appreciate it if you would VOTE for my project. 

I was buzzing with ideas for this theme because there are so many directions to explore with it.  I've chosen a couple to show you.


Above, is an anniversary card which is a revamped version of the card that I sent to my husband for our anniversary, which is shown below.  For today's card I've chosen different colours and added some silver heat embossing, but I haven't changed the background because I love the repeating sentiment. 


The Milestone Moments stamp does what it says in the name and covers a multitude of celebrations from anniversaries to birthdays to retirement to welcoming a new baby.  The stamps are photopolymer and so you can see through them to line them up successfully.  I have used the lovely heart from the You're So Sweet set and used the dies from the Mini Treat Bag thinlets to cut it and the mini heart out.


I've used the same ingredients, with the addition of some silver foil, to make my other cards to welcome a new baby.  These cards mark the beginning of a lifetime filled with and celebrating all different types of love.  I think that these could be sent as a "Congratulations"  on the arrival of a new baby card or, equally, they would work as pretty announcement cards from the proud new parents.


A die-cut silver star sits neatly inside the silver embossed "hello" star and then they are topped off with a cute little banner, with its flag end concertinered underneath. 

I hope you approve of my cards to celebrate LOVE in all its ways.  Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I'd be delighted if you visited Kylie's blog to vote for my project.  I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop.

Happy Crafting,
