Stampin' with the Zetas

Earlier this week I got together with some Zeta Tau Alpha sisters from the Chicago Northwestern Suburban Alumnae group and we stamped cards for collegiates to send them words of encouragement during their upcoming finals.  This You're Amazing sentiment says it all!  We also put together some yummy treat bags!

This one above uses my favorite embellishment...Artistry Blooms Sequins!  

They are self-adhesive so adding a bit of sparkle is quick and easy!

A super-easy watercolor look done with the beautiful stamps from Oceanfront and On the Horizon stamp sets.  The Just Breathe sentiment is a good reminder during the stress of finals week!

Crafty cards with Amanda

This is a great card layout!  I use it so often to showcase Designer Series Paper.  Although Sale-a-Bration is over and you can no longer get the Friendly Hello DSP and stamps, this "card map" used above can be used with just about ANY patterned paper!  I love how the wide ribbon was used...sometimes I'm at a loss of how to use ribbon that wide on a card.

DSP: 1-3/8" x 3" and White Layer: 4-1/2" x 3-1/4"

Pink Buckaroo

Another great "card map" card is shown above.  Use Designer Series Paper or stamp your own pattern.  You may not be able to see the true sparkle of the Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper used for the banner, but it does shimmer for sure!

The two panels measure 2" x 3-1/4" and 1" x 4" for the banner.  Use your favorite die-cut/punched shape for the sentiment.

I am so grateful for other SU! Demonstrators who share their ideas on our Demonstrator Planning Place FB group!  Their original ideas inspired some of the cards we made at our March meeting.

Bright Pink Bouquet of Hope Fundraiser

We lost my sister Lucy to breast cancer last February.  She was a talented artist and very crafty.  We loved to craft together and share crafting ideas. When the Bouquet of Hope February Paper Pumpkin Kit was revealed, it was the perfect opportunity to offer this kit as a fundraising event for Bright Pink. I learned about Bright Pink through my fraternity Zeta Tau Alpha’s philanthropy efforts as we partner to educate our communities about breast cancer prevention and early detection. 

The kit’s exclusive Bouquet of Hope Stamp Set features supportive sentiments centered around comfort, care, hope, and love. Such a versatile stamp set can be used throughout the year. We all know someone who could use a heartfelt, handmade card that gives strength during a difficult time. 

The Bouquet of Hope kit provides supplies to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. It’s an all-inclusive kit that includes: patterned card bases, die-cut floral elements, ribbon, embellishments, a stamp set, an ink spot, adhesives, a clear acrylic block, and envelopes that all arrive directly to your mailbox in a cute box. No additional supplies are needed.  You’ll also get a Zoom link to create the kit along with me and others during a Zoom Make and Take Party on March 5th. If you can’t make the Zoom party, there are directions included and a YouTube assembly video will be provided.
