fund raising cards

I support a couple of charities by making cards and sending to them to use however suits them best. One uses it as a fund raiser, while the other gives it to farmers in drought - guess when things are tough going buying greeting cards goes down in terms of importance.

Anyway my yoga instructor is hoping to get a raffle together to support Shave_for_a_Cure_Day and was looking for donations. I have offered a packet of hand made greeting cards and am  happily getting some together. I thought I would share this baby card that I've just finished making two of. It's quick to make - and I have another four 'babies' in reserve. The baby is a Cuttlebug die 37-1160 - must admit the flower bit gets a heavy work out for all those really small bits of leftover cardstock. The blue backing is a spellbinders Fleur_De-Lis that I don't use often enough, while the green paper has been sitting in my stash for some time. He looks like he's got food smeared over his chine but that's not in reality.

Hope this give you ideas for cards - not just baby cards

one sheet wonders

I was on one of my groups recently and saw the term One Sheet Wonder - and didn't have a clue what it was. Over to my favourite websites Google and   Splitcoast stampers and typed in OSW and WOW the light went on. I make cards for my local hospital foundation and because I've been away they've run out of everything. I thought I'd make a start with baby cards and take it from there. Having done my first one I'd be a little more adventurous next time. But the main drawback can be that you get bored repeatedly using the same pattern - as you can see I got 13 cards out of one 30x30 cm sheet of paper. Next one i intend cutting the paper, then getting the basic components together and making them up as I feel urge. Christmas cards should be a easy peasy. Thanks for stopping and having a look. Feel free to comment.
