Beautiful Baubles Charity Day October 2018

I am delighted to report that through Stampin Up ®, our wider team the Paper Angels and my team The Lorikeet Stampers we helped raise over $4000 for the Footprint Cards program.

This is a wonderful effort from everyone, and all achieved through a day sharing our love of all things inky.

There were 6 events all like ours that took place in Brisbane, on the Sunshine Coast, and on the Gold Coast. I wanted to show you the projects we made, and have waited until the last of the events took place last Saturday, so as not to spoil the surprise of the projects for others reading my blog.

Thanks so much to Genesis Christian Ministries in Carrara who allow us to use their space so generously.

Below are some photos from the day, and projects we made.

Our Projects

The projects all focussed on the Beautiful Baubles stamp set, and Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies, from the Stampin Up ® Holiday Catalogue.

This card above used the baby wipe technique, where we dripped similar colours in pinks, greens, blues and purples, onto a baby wipe, and then used that as the ink pad. It creates this lovely effect of different shades on the one bauble. We also used the lovely silver edged cards and envelopes to complete the effect.

We decorated one of the clear acetate card boxes, to store the Baby Wipe technique cards. The band around the box, has silver embossed baubles, and Silver Edged Ribbon to finish it off. The silver and white theme is so effective.

The card above used the same large bauble stamp and Frosted Floral DSP. The front of the card is folded back which gives a different dimension to the card. We then used DSP on the flap of the envelope to continue the silver and white theme.

This lovely green coloured card is a gatefold, and the Pear Pizzazz embossed section, fits through the darker green circle. The green leaf paper also comes from the Frosted Floral DSP.  It's almost gum leaf-ish!

 These beautiful gift tags use the Rich Razzleberry and Tranquil Tide Velvet Ribbon, with the same coloured die cut lanterns.

 The card above uses the repetitive pattern of the baubles, stamped on Shimmer White paper, and then the same again stamped on the Mint Macaron cardstock, and cut out and raised on dimensionals.

The Kraft Pillow Box above is wrapped in Silver Glimmer Paper and Frosted Floral DSP, and uses the Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon to finish off.  We coloured the Basic Rhinestones using Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blend.

The last project, are the 4 small gift cards above, which use the large bauble image and the Blackberry Bliss and Tranquil Tide cardstock and inks.

Our Displays

We had a wonderful collection of cards and boxes to display showing off the products from the Holiday Catalogue.

The Raffle

The Raffle was as popular as ever, with lots of prizes to share out with everyone.

I am so grateful for the support of my team who help prepare and run the day.  I also appreciate all the wonderful customers who attend these days and make them fun and support our raffles.

Our individual event raised $600.

Thanks for stopping by!
