Hummingbird House Charity Day Part 3! The projects and the final total.

Last weekend my team the Lorikeet Stampers ran a charity day to raise money for Hummingbird House, one of three children's hospices in Australia.

Our charity days are usually based around a stamp set.  The fee for the day includes the stamp set and our projects are designed around the stamp set.  This year the set was Vibrant Vases and my friend Bec Ross and I designed the projects together.

We had fun using the Gingham Gala DSP to make this cute little basket and teeny cards.

Then we switched to a black and white theme to make this notecard box based on a Pootles design.

One of my amazing team members cut out the smallest Stitched Square for everybody. That's approximately 384 squares!!!!!!!! These cards were a bit of play time where customers could decide on their own layouts and stamps.

And another box - the Mini Pizza Boxes - we did a little watercolouring of these images using our Aquapainters,

We've done Mini Pizza Boxes before and usually include mini cards and envelopes.   This time we wanted something a little different so we made the card below....

It's a concertina card!  It's a design that you can make longer if you wish by adding more folded card stock.

We also had a bonus project which we all got around to doing, of a chocolate tray that fits in the pizza box.  Cute!

 Our last two projects were two full size cards - this one used the Wood Crate Framelits to make a crate of cards.

And the last project featured wooden vases punched out using the coordinating punch.

For more posts about the day you can check mu other blog entries.

You can see us in action in this post HERE.

And some of the Lucky Door Prizes HERE.

And the final fundraising tally is 'in'.  We have raised a total of $784 for Hummingbird House!  PLUS a donation of $200 was given directly to Hummingbird as a result of our event.

So that's an impressive $984.

Thank you to everyone who came along to take part and supported this cause so generously.  We are very fortunate to receive a box of retired goodies from Stampin' Up! for our raffle.

Stampin' Blends Club Part 2

Thursday 7th March Class 

Stampin' Blends 

 This was our second class of Blends Club and we explored light sources and giving objects shape through shading.

For the first card we used the Varied Vases Stamp Set, colouring the vases with the Light and Dark Old Olive. The flowers were coloured in with Highland Heather Light and Dark, and Pool Party.

  

It's important to use Memento Ink for stamped images when using the Blends.  We saturated each of the images with the lighter colour blend then applied the darker colour the daker areas then blended with the light colour.

  

For the second card, we used the Tea Together Stamp Set from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, and coloured the teapot and tea cup in Light and Dark Pool Party. The flowers were coloured in Highland Heather and Old Olive was used for the leaves. The backing used the Sale-a-bration embossing folder  - Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions.

Both the Country Floral Embossing Folder and the Tea Time Framelits Dies are FREE during Sale-a-Bration.

We still have two more Blends classes in my series of 4 to learn about the many techniques for these beautiful Stampin' Blends. They are so versatile and completely change the characteristics of many of the stamp sets.  

I run regular classes on the Gold Coast for these techniques and many more.  Beginner, casual and avid crafters are all welcome!  Contact me for more information.

Launch Make and Takes and a few other pics

A super successful launch on Saturday.

Here are some creations. 

Everyone received a bag on arrival decorated with the gorgeous Animal Outing creatures.

Inside, amongst other things, was an In Color bookmark - don't you LOVE these bright colours.

The In Colors were also represented in these little treat bags for everyone attending.

We used Mary Fish's Varied Vases and co-ordinating punch to make a 3D treat holder.

This card used the 'Handwritten' background stamp and Lovely Lipstick, one of the new In Colors.

Don't you love the Rooted In Nature stamp set?  I CASEd this card from Linda Dalke, another Aussie demonstrator.

Do you want a quick and simple card?  This one was super quick and used the Abstract Impressions stamp set on our Notecards and Envelopes.
