Making Covid-19 Cards With Stampin’ Up!

Covid-19 Cards6

Yesterday was the Stampin’ Up! Day of Service and I enjoyed a fun and relaxing hour watching a Facebook Live with Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up! and her family at home making Covid -19 cards using sayings on the Share Sunshine PDF download. I made several cards, sometimes taking inspiration from Sara’s instructions and sometimes my own, and afterwards I made more cards. And after dinner, I made even more cards!

These cards were supposed to be kept simple and since I was making a lot I just wanted to mostly make basic cards. I have a few that I may go back and put maybe a few embellishments on, but I may not!

If you missed the Facebook Live yesterday with Sara, you can still watch the replay today or at your convenience on Facebook HERE. I would suggest that you watch her previous Facebook Live where she explained how the cards are designed, how to cut your designer paper, etc. You don’t have to follow her designs, you can do your own, too. You don’t have to use these greetings on the Share Sunshine Download, you can use your own.

This is a great way to use up some of your retiring or retired designer paper before the new papers come out June 3 in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog! Sara shows an easy way to cut your paper so you can make several card designs that are simple enough for any stamper and then you can embellish if you like.

This is the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper but other papers would be nice too. This paper has a great discount on it so go grab a package! Sara also used some embellishments in the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit which is also discounted! The kit includes felt accents, charms, linen thread, paper clips and the cute box.

Sara’s intention was that we stampers can #SpreadSunshine with our cardmaking skills and then send them to friends, family, frontline workers, nursing homes, neighbors, wherever you like.

You might enjoy just watching the Facebook Live video from Sara and her family even if you don’t have time to make cards right then. It’s always fun to see new ideas and see what cards other people are making!

An Invitation From Stampin’ Up! 

Our Stampin’ Up! Day of Service will be Thursday, May 21 at 2:00 pm MT! With current social distancing practices, employees are participating in Day of Service virtually, which provides us the opportunity to include demonstrators and customers in Stampin’ Up!’s service activity. 

For this year’s Day of Service, we will use the Share Sunshine PDF Download (no longer available) to make and send cards to loved ones, frontline workers, etc. As part of our Day of Service, we will provide each employee with the Share Sunshine PDF Download and will contribute $12 USD per employee to the COVID-19 response funds, as part of our COVID-19 giveback, resulting in a company donation of $5,820 USD for Day of Service!

We invite demonstrators to participate and we encourage you to share the event with your customers so they can join the fun! 

Stampin’ Up! employees, demonstrators, and customers will be gathering virtually for our Day of Service craft party on 21 May at 2:00 PM (MT) to make our cards together in a Facebook Live on Sara’s CEO Facebook page. 

If you or your customers are unable to participate in the live craft party, the replay will be available to view any time on Sara’s Facebook page.

To make it easy for everyone to participate, we’ve also created an instruction sheet for Sara’s four-step cards, which includes a cut map for your Designer Series Paper (any Designer Series Paper will work). Note: A full package of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper will be enough to make four kits (20 cards). You can find the instruction sheet here. We encourage you to come prepared with pre-cut Designer Series Paper! 

SO….YOU are invited to participate in this Facebook Live cardmaking event along with Demonstrators and SU Employees! Feel free to just watch or follow along and copy their cards or just do your own stamping while you watch! You are not required to purchase the download. You can make the same card design and use your own greeting and your own kind of designer paper. If you miss it, like any FB Live, you can watch it later!

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 Demonstrators and customers! 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.
