"Hop" for Japan

I love the Hope for Japan stamp set, even more so because of the meaning behind it. Did you know that CTMH is donating 100% of the proceeds from this set to The American Red Cross for their efforts in Japan? They will produce as many sets as we can sell and they have put no cap on the amount they will donate.
I just think that is awesome!  If you have not yet ordered this set and want one please let me know. It is available through the month of April.

Here are the cards my card club made with this set last night. 

I wanted something bright "springy" so I did this color block one. The hearts are pop dotted so they stand out. Inside it says, "forever in my heart" . The sentiment is from Kanji phrases but I only used the English words because I think the characters are actually Chinese and not Japanese. The colors are Buttercup, Heavenly Blue, Sweet Leaf and Cotton Candy.

This on I created thinking it could be used for someone with breast (or any other kind of) cancer. I think the Hope sentiment and the wings fit that perfectly. Of course it needed to be pink so I used Blush and sponged around the image I stamped in black. I colored the flowers with the blush marker which is just a shade darker. The ruffle is made of paper from the Cherry-O pack and the sentiment is from Chard Chatter-Sympathy.

One of my fellow consultants has family in Japan and we are doing a card drive to send to children and seniors who have been affected by the earthquakes and tsunami. If you would like to donate cards please contact me at dudleychicks@gmail.com.

If you buy the set from me and create 5 cared to donate I will even give you your choice of one item from the catalog at my cost (that's 22% off!) on any order placed in May.

Finally, if you have made cards with this set and would like to join the blog hop to share your creative inspiration click on the Mr. Linky link below.

Hope for Japan

In recent weeks we have all watched the news of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. If you are like me you have felt helpless and wanted to DO SOMETHING! Well Jeanette Lynton and CTMH as a company have come up with a beautiful stamp set to convey our Hope for Japan.

Isn't it beautufil?

You can purchase this beautiful set for just $5.00 (plus tax and shipping) and CTMH will donate 100% of the proceeds (that's right 100%) to The American Red Cross for their continuing efforts in Japan. 

And once you have your set you can do even more...

One of my dear consultant friends has friends and family in Japan so we will be organizing a card drive using this set to send to people living through the crisis. More information on that to come. Stay tuned!

Contact me to get your set today. They are available through the end of April.
