Honor Flight Card Night

I'm so grateful for those that helped make over 30 cards last week to give to the veterans for next month's Lake County Honor Flight! If you're unfamiliar with what the HONOR FLIGHT is...

Lake County Honor Flight celebrates America's veterans with a multi-day trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. The Lake County Honor Flight works diligently to raise funds to make trips available to veterans at no cost!

If you'd like to learn more about ways to help,

please visit: www.lakecountyhonorflight.org

Please contact me if you'd like to know when the next Honor Flight Card Night will be!

Here is an up-close look at the cards in case you'd like to recreate them! Some items used are retired, but you can always swap out products. Hope you're inspired by these card ideas to make cards for our veterans and active military members.

Your Biggest Fan!

Getting ready for GRADUATION season! This was a card featured on my first ever Card Buffet last weekend. I thought it would make a good graduation card, but it works for ANY kind of a pat on the back for a job well done!

The banner was made with the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper and Sports Event Dies from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Since I don't have the coordinating stamp set, Your Biggest Fan, I used the stamps from the February 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit Safari Celebration. The stamps from the Batter Up past Paper Pumpkin kit would work great too! You can find a selection of past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills HERE.

The Hey Sports Fan DSP may not look it at first, but it is really versatile! The non-sporty sides and "B-sides" of the paper featuring Poppy Parade, Bumblebee, Night of Navy, and Evening Evergreen I think will work great for Disney Scrapbooking!

Crafting for a Cause

And recently we used the stripes and blue woodgrain sides to make cards for local veterans taking the Lake County Honor Flight to Washington DC. These Fox Lake Area Queens did a wonderful job writing messages of thanks and appreciation to these veterans!

Here are some more great ideas using the Hey Sports Fan Suite!

Butterfly Box to Celebrate Spring!

Celebrated spring today with stampin' friends by making some projects with the Butterfly Brilliance Collection! These little treat boxes would surely brighten someone's day. The Butterfly Brillance stamp set and Brilliant Wings Dies (along with the 10% discounted Bundle) are early release products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Unfortunately, the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper is sold out, but I'm sure there will be another beautiful coordinating Designer Series Paper in the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog! It will be released in May, but we Demonstrators will get to see it next week! And we get to preorder products in April! Like the new 2021-2023 In Colors!

Now on to the details of my project...my inspiration came from those insect exhibit case displays and the Natural Touch Specialty Paper was the perfect backdrop. I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to fully pop up my Stitched Rectangle frame.

The ribbon pull was made with the Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Terracotta Tile...an In Color 2019-2021which will be retiring soon! You can see below how I created the ribbon pull by punching a hole in the side of the box, threading both ends of the ribbon through the hole, and tying a knot on the inside to secure it.

Scroll down to see the list of supplies used for this project.

Don't forget that your purchase of any butterfly products during the month

of March will be part of my current Craft for a Cause initiative.

Your participation will help me in raising funds to plant wildflowers in The Woodland Walk at Raven Glen Forest Preserve, which is a specified quarter-mile walk that is dedicated to all children and siblings who have left us too soon. The Northern Lake County Chapter of The Compassionate Friends, in partnership with the Lake County Forest Preserve District, is working toward restoring the wooded walk with trees, shrubs, flowers, and benches. For each planting that is dedicated to an individual, an engraved nameplate will be added to the plaque " Our Children Remembered". My goal is to raise enough funds to have five nameplates for the five families that I personally know who have lost a little angel.

When you purchase any of the items from the Butterfly Brillance Collection (or any current Butterfly stamp set/punch/die), I will donate 20% of the sale to the Woodland Walk Memorial. Scroll down to see the items available and please use the Host Code shown here.
