Share Sunshine Downloadable PDF Digital Stamps now available!

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.

Stampin' Up! created the Share Sunshine PDF Downloadable "Stamps" and is donating 100% of the proceeds to COVID-19 efforts (to the World Health Organization and to the United Way).

The Share Sunshine PDF Download is a digital stamp set that’s packed with both lighthearted and heartfelt sentiments and imagery relevant to the unique COVID-19 and social distancing situation we’re currently experiencing–including many ideas that came from Stampin' Up! customers and demonstrators!

You can use the download in your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. Simply, print the imagery on cardstock and cut it out using our Paper Trimmer, punches, or dies. Since we are physically distanced from each other, now is a perfect time to share sunshine with our friends and family by sending cards!

The Share Sunshine PDF Download is $12 and can be purchased in Stampin' Up!'s Shopify store here.

The Sending Sunshine PDF Download is available from April 28th, 2020 through June 2, 2020. Stampin' Up! may or may not extend this date further, and will let us know if they extend this promotion beyond June 2nd, 2020.

Promotion Details

• To maximize our donations, the PDF download sales are non-commissionable. Tell your customers that these charities are the sole beneficiaries of each purchase—that means every cent goes to these organizations!
• Sales of the download will not count toward your quarterly minimum requirement; to get the product out quickly, we made it available on Shopify (and not on our online store) and there is not a way to link the purchases customers make to their demonstrator.
• The Share Sunshine PDF Download is for personal use only. Encourage your customers to purchase and print their own.
• When you purchase the PDF download, please remember not to share it with others, as this takes away from the organizations we are trying to support–and encourage your customers to follow suit!
• The download will be charged in US dollars; your financial institution will convert the charge into your currency based on current exchange rates.

Patchwork Ornate Garden Friendship Card

Today's card highlights the Ornate Garden Product Suite as well as the Good, Morning Magnolia stamp set. My favorite greeting from Good, Morning Magnolia, "The journey of life is best shared with a friend. We'll get through this together," is reassuring during these stressful times, especially when we are far apart from each other.

I used the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper in a patchwork pattern with sashing between each square or a tile pattern with spacing or "grout" between each square.

Ornate Garden Friendship Card Measurements
	Paper	Dimensions
Card Base	Crumb Cake Cardstock	8-1/2” x 5-1/2”; scored at 4-1/4” & 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
1st Mat	Old Olive Cardstock or Terracotta Tile Cardstock	4-3/8” x 3”
2nd Mat	Old Olive Cardstock or Terracotta Tile Cardstock	4-1/8”x 2-3/4”
Squares (cut 6)	Ornate Garden Specialty DSP	1-1/4” x 1-1/4”
Greeting	Whisper White Cardstock	2-3/4” x 1-1/4”
Inside Mat	Whisper White Cardstock	4” x 5-1/4”
DSP Inside Mat	Ornate Garden Specialty DSP	3/4" x 4"

This inside of the card is decorated with a strip of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper with the same sweet daisy pattern, leaving room for a special message.

The card base is embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Let me tell you! This is my favorite texture embossing folder of all time! Yes, it's true! This is my all time favorite texture embossing folder!

It adds that little extra something special without detracting from the rest of the design. Plus, the texture looks beautiful whether this embossing folder is used horizontally or vertically and on the embossed side or the debossed side.

I embossed a separate 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered it to the front. You can emboss the whole card front instead too.

I enjoyed creating with the patterned paper with the small daisies on the Bumble Bee background so much that I made two different variations of this patchwork card. The card pictured below on the right has a patchwork of squares that together form a compete picture.

The card pictured below on the left has two different sides of the same patterned paper in a staggered pattern. The Terracotta Tile and the Old Olive cardstock orders are also switched on both cards. The "grout" on one card is Old Olive and Terracotta Tile on the other.

Which card do you like best - the card on the left with 2 patterned papers or the one on the right with 1 patterned paper? Let me know which card you like best in the comments below!

I hope you give this patchwork Designer Series Paper card a try. What patterned papers will you use? I would love to see what you create! Post a project photo on my Facebook page today! I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!
