Cards For A Cause
.
I’m taking a break from painting and crafting for a few weeks, so this is a wonderful opportunity to tell you about Cards For A Cause. I first heard about this challenge on Reilly and Denny’s blog, Reilly & Denny The Cowspotdogs. It is simply an invitation to create a card (or set of cards) and donate them to the “cause of the month”.
This brings me to something new…Paper Pumpkin. Paper Pumpkin is monthly subscription service from Stampin’ Up! where you receive all the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create a papercraft project. These monthly subscription programs are all the rage. Don’t tell the pups, but our subscription to BarkBox is done, and I’m going to give this a try for a bit.
Even though I’m on a break, I couldn’t help but give this a try when it arrived. Everything you need (with the exception of adhesive) is included and all the pieces are pre-cut. Your first shipment includes an acrylic block that works for all future stamp sets.
The only change I made was to replace the button accent. I wanted to make them easier to send through the mail, so I replaced the regular button with a soft felt button.
Isn’t this a wonderful challenge for cardmakers? You get to indulge your love of cardmaking and then the cards are used to brighten the lives of others.
very cool im sure your cards will be the best donated

Lori your cards are exquisite…I used to try to do some Stampin’ Up but I wasn’t very good at it. You on the other hand are a pro!!! and this is an excellent cause
Hugs madi and Mom
The subscription sounds perfect for you!
What a great idea! That’s so nice of you to do!! So what cause will you do first?
Every month, Splitcoaststampers announces that month’s Cards for a Cause organization. It’s different every month. I’m starting with May’s organization, St. Anne’s Homeless Shelter.
Interesting post. Nice to see you sharing your crafty goodies with us.
I love everything like nice scrapbooking papers, stamps, inks, acrylic blocks etc – always a joy to my eyes 🙂
Paper Pumpkin crafty subscription – never heard of it but it sounds like fun. Shame we dont have anything like this in Britain. is it costly?
looking forward to seeing your other crafty goodies from this programme 🙂
It’s $19.95 a month. A little expensive, but I think it will be fun. I’m going to try it for six months and then re-evaluate.
