Giving Back--Cards for Kids

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are having a great week.  So far so good here.  Lots on my plate this week and next.  The holidays are fast approaching plus Michael's birthday is this weekend.  Yes, my baby is going to be 2--wow!  Plus Thanksgiving is at our house and I am trying to get ready for that, but I know I can handle it all.  I just have to make my lists and check it twice.  Do you like to make lists?  I know I HAVE to have them in order to stay organized.  I even make lists of things for my scrappin' (deadlines for design teams, challenges due and just odds and ends stuff).

So glad I went to the crop Friday night and completed 4 projects (3 layouts and 1 card set) because I know there will not be much in the way of creativity this week.  I just have one project on my desk right now to finish up and I hope to do so later in the week.
 
Well round 4 of Cards for Kids is under way and with the school year I couldn't make a ton of cards this round (I feel a bit guilty about it).  I did make every child one card though and I hope it will bring a smile to their face even if it is just a second.  I just love this stamp set by Hero Arts.  I have made tons of cards using it.  I think the little monsters are just too cute.

So for this card I used my MS scoring board and I cut a 4x8 inch card out of kraft cardstock. I stamped the card using the swirl stamp background from Hero Arts.  I then scored the card at the 4 inch mark and then scored one side again at the 2 inch mark.  Folding that I then stamped my monster 2x (once on the circle and then again on another sheet and colored him and cut him out.)  I then attached the colored monster with pop dots placed him on top of the other monster, and then glued it to a round scallop circle. I also did the same with the balloon.  To the balloon and the eye of the monster I added glossy accents to make the item pop off the page.   I then attached it to the 2 inch side of the card.  I know I am not explaining this well--hopefully the pictures will help you understand.  I was going to make a video but no time for that--sorry.   Inside I stamped the greeting.
