Yesterday I worked on designing some super simple cards for card kits. My MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group has decided to support Cadence International's ministry of KidsLink Downrange. This ministry provides card kits for children who have a deployed parent. We s made half of our cards back in the fall, and will be making the other half at our meeting tomorrow. In order to avoid any issues with postage due to bumpy cards, I kept the designs simple and flat. This means very little in terms of embellishments. It's *really* hard to not add ribbons and knots and brads and "stuff" to the cards! They use some retired colors and stamps, which I normally don't post, but I'd thought you'd enjoy seeing them. The card kits require specific cards. These cards are for First Day of School, Father's Day and a blank greeting.
And, in case you need another reason to join the Stampin' Up! family, they have created the Stampin Connection. It's a community just for demostrators that is sort of a mix of facebook, message board and photo gallery. It's only been up and running for 2 days and already there are over 8000 photos of Stampin' Up! projects and from nearly 10,000 demonstrators. What a fun place to be, to share, and to learn. Contact me today if you'd like to join me as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. There are so many wonderful benefits.
What a great idea! Hope they enjoyed the cards you designed. Thanks for posting your blog on Stampin' Connection.
