Fundraising Fun

I, along with a couple hundred other crafty ladies, attended at GI Cancer Fundraiser at King's University College this morning. Organized by the creative powerhouse that is Heather Summers, we spent the morning (or afternoon, depending on the session attended) making a great set of Christmas cards and gift tags in support of Cancer research, and I thought I would share some of the crafty goodness with you right away!

These gift tags are made with the Two Tag die run through the Big Shot, layered with different prints from the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series paper, and finished with a snowflake from the Serene Snowflakes set mounted on a scallop circle base.

This earth-tone card is given a shot of colour with Dotted Red grosgrain ribbon, a Real Red punched circle, and of course Rudolph's red nose! The neutrals are a combination of Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, and another pattern from the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series paper... it really is so versatile!

I cannot say enough about the lovely reindeer stamped on the front of this card. His name is Dasher and he's one of the few "stand alone" stamps that we offer - selling for only $10.95. If you buy only one stamp this year for your cards, this should definitely be the one. Here, he stands on a bed of snow created with Dazzling Diamonds glitter, and is layered over both Real Red and Close to Cocoa cards stock, followed by more patterned paper (the bottom one is actually flocked) from the Christmas Cocoa DSP.

Very pretty, very simple... the texture of the Whisper White card stock was achieved using the Petals a Plenty embossing folder in the Big Shot, and the central pattern once again comes from the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper. The greetings shown in all four of the projects shown here were from a single stamp set called "Four the Holidays", which sells for $18.95.
