Stamp Out Autism Blog Hop… #stampyourartout #stampinup - Stampin’ Up!® - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.com

 Thank you for visiting today. Wendy's blog may have sent you my way. Thanks, Wendy.

I am participating in a blog hop this weekend (and another next weekend!) to help raise awareness and funds for those affected by autism.

You can help out by…

  1. Ordering Stampin' Up! product – I'll be donating 20% of my April 11th through April 19th sales. Click here to shop my online store and to place your order for product.
  2. AND/OR by Donating directly – Can you imagine if all of us donated even just a dollar? Any amount helps. Click here to access my donation page.

Stamp Out Autism Blog Hop…Stampin’ Up!® #stampyourartout #stampinup - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.comI have a campaign page set up with Autism Speaks – an autism advocacy organization in the United States that sponsors research and conducts awareness and outreach activities aimed at families, governments, and the public. The minimum for online donations is $10. If you'd like to donate less or donate through the mail, you can send your donation to: Autism Speaks, 1060 State Rd 2nd Fl, Princeton, NJ 08810. My campaign number is 4681.

 

Those of us demonstrators participating in the blog hop are also each sharing a bit of information about autism to spread more knowledge. Here is my tidbit…

Stamp Out Autism Blog Hop…Stampin’ Up!® #stampyourartout #stampinup - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.comChildren with autism may experience coexisting conditions, such as fragile X-syndrome, epileptic seizures, tuberous sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, learning disabilities, and ADD.

 

 

 

 

I decided to post this card today to spread a little extra sunshine. (It's been cloudy and rainy here in Minnesota lately.) Plus it's just a super, cute "welcome baby" card.

Spread sunshine with this fun card layout using Ray of Sunshine stamp set and Sweet Taffy designer paper… #stampyourartout #stampinup - Stampin’ Up!® - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.com

I used the Ray of Sunshine stamp set (wood-mount or clear-mount), Sweet Taffy designer paper, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight from the Brights Collection of card stock, Whisper White and Smoky Slate from the Neutrals Collection of card stock, and a few punches (Cupcake Builder, Banner, Decorative Label, and the 1-3/8" Circle) to make this card. I also added Dimensionals and Rhinestones to give it that extra "wow" factor. Here's a quick video that I created for this card and used as one of my online training tools for my April 2014 Stampers With Art online team event.
