Hello World Giving Back Blog Hop!

Hi there!

You should have arrived here from Kimberly's blog!

I am beyond thrilled and humbled to be a part of this incredible Blog Hop today! Catherine Pooler is giving back! All profits from the sale of the brand spankin' new Hello World stamp set will go to Jennifer Ingle's husband's Go Fund Me Campaign for kids! Sean Ingle is a teacher in a school where most kids are on a free and reduced lunch program, they don’t have computers at home or at school and the school doesn’t have the funds for a curriculum. In the spirit of giving his students the best education he can provide, Sean is working to raise funds to purchase computers for his classroom.

So, not only are we celebrating World Cardmaking Day, we are giving back and helping kids! I don't think it can get much better than that!


I created three cards using the Hello World set.  I just couldn't stop using it once I started.  :) I combined it, along with the Lovely Flowers set.  How adorable is that "hi?!" I had to make that heart pink!

Next up, I used the same two sets again, but went a totally different direction! I stamped the flowers in white ink, then stamped over them with dye inks.  I also added stripes from the YAY Stripes set.

For my last card, I used Hello World and Lovely Flowers yet again (how great are these sets?!?!), but this time I embossed them in white and watercolored over them using Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens and a waterbrush.

Oh, did I mention that there is even a coordinating die set for Hello World? Yup! Remember, ALL of the proceeds from this stamp set will go to the Go Fund Me Campaign to help kiddos in need from today, October 1, through October 7, 2016! 

I also wanted to mention Stamp Nation! If you've never heard of it before, check it out.  I recently discovered it and it's fantabulous! It is a community of crafters, all sharing and inspiring each other.  I love positive people helping each other out and challenging each other!

Next up on the Hop is Ingrid!
