COVID-19 Giveback - Share Sunshine

I have a special post today.  With all that's going on in the world, Stampin' UP! has decided to try something new in order to make a charitable contribution to help in the fight against COVID-19.  Here, in their words is a little bit about what they have done:

Stampin’ Up! is committed to making a difference in our global communities and caring about people first. As part of our Making a Difference program we’re offering a product giveback opportunity to support organizations that are helping COVID-19 frontline responders and communities vulnerable to the pandemic.

 What is a product giveback?  Stampin' UP! has developed a digital stamp set that can be purchased and downloaded, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to one of two charities (you get to choose which you would like to support).  When you purchase the digital stamp set, you can assign where you want your money to go.

So let's see what this is all about:
These cute samples use only a few of the digital stamps.  I purchased this set today, and had a ball making some samples to share with you.  There are 19 pages of stamped images, some black and white and some in color, and you can print them on cardstock, cut them out with dies, punches or a paper trimmer, and add them to your hand-made cards.  Some of the images are sweet and full of praise, some are poignant.  And some of these are really funny.  Take a look at just a few of the images:


Here are the fruits of one afternoon of labor.

For my grandson:


He loves dinosaurs, so I added a Dino and some flowers and leaves from Tropical Chic (on the retired list!).

For my sister and a friend:


Just had to have a little fun.


This was one of my favorite phrases (the images come with a martini glass, but I used the retired Sip, Sip Hooray and coordinating dies to make mine a little larger).

For a customer:


I used a Whisper White Note Card and Envelope for this card and the next two, making it super simple to create in no time!

For my UPS man and my mail delivery lady:


Just some DSP and a simple Thank You.

I still have lots of other images and phrases with which to play, and will be doing more tomorrow.  

In this unprecedented time why not share a little sunshine with your family, friends and neighbors?  The Share Sunshine COVID-19 Giveback digital stamp set is a perfect way to stay in touch, spread a little humor with lots of thanks, and donate to a worthy cause.

To get your digital download, click here.  The cost is only $12.00--a small price to pay for a large set of images and helping others.

And please - if you purchase this download, please to not share the images with others; doing so minimizes the good these purchases do.  We need everyone to purchase their own copy.  Thanks!
