Stampin’ Up! helps support the Ronald McDonald House Charities (R) by making a contribution for every special RMHC stamp set sold, and this My Hero Stamp Set is the stamp set for 2016-17. For every stamp set sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to the RMHC.  You can purchase this stamp set in wood- or clear-mount and know that your stamping is fun for you but also helping a good cause! The Ronald McDonald House Charities helps support families whose children are undergoing medical treatment away from home.  You can read more about it HERE.

To make this easy card, I used Real Red for a card base with the fold at the top.  Just cut the cardstock in half lengthwise at 4 1/4″ and then fold in half at 5 1/2″.  I have a layer of Whisper White and then Soft Sky for – the sky! I darkened the sky a bit with a little sponging of Smoky Slate ink. I actually used the coordinating punch for last years RMHC stamp set, the Tree Builder Punch, to punch out some clouds (on another card they might be cupcake tops!) and sponged those as well.

Next I actually used the My Hero Stamp Set.  I stamped the umbrella on Whisper White cardstock with Real Red ink and cut it out with my Paper Snips. The umbrella handle is stamped with Basic Gray and cut out. I adhered the clouds to the top of the card and next the umbrella, popping up the umbrella with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The little greeting at the bottom is from the stamp set and punched out (just the ends) with the new Classic Label Punch. You could also put this greeting on the inside of the card.

For a little fun and pizzazz, I used my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to make tiny raindrops!  I think you can see them on the photo if you look closely!  It’s always hard to photograph shiny and glimmery things.

I hope you will consider adding the My Hero Stamp Set to your next order and help Stampin’ Up! support a worthy charity that helps children and families, the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
