Make a Wish! How amazing is this set? I love that it is ALL OCCASSION.
Can you believe how awesome Gina K is for doing this project? A woman, a mom, with her own stamp company, working hard, using what she has avaliable, to work to make a difference in so many lives.
When I was asked to be a part of this team, I was beyond excited. I was so moved by the fact that Gina was doing this to help an organization that is not only amazing but has directly affected my family! You truly have NO IDEA how amazing this organization is for families of these children facing life threatening illnesses, and I hope you never how to have a wish granted, because that would mean someone you love, a child, has a serious life threatening condition.

I have SO MANY samples with this set to share with you. I wanted to start with the shooting stars, as I think they are my favorite.
This is a close view
This was my very first thought upon first viewing the sketch. Wish upon a star. I stamped the shooting star image in silver ink. I then used some paper tape to mask off my area on my card, then baby wipes technique to make a shooting stream of color.
I added stickles to the open lined stars. I stamped the larger star on some DCWV Glitterstack paper, and cut out a star. I also used my cuttlebug star, and the same glitter paper in white for the larger star image.
Its a simple yet STRIKING card I feel.
Next up-Many Wishes
Well I love sparkle! So this star is PERFECT for my Martha Stewart glitter!
I first used my cuttlebug embossed star image on the bottom portion of this card. With my stamp-a-ma-jig (yes I use mine) I used my Glue Pad and stamped the shooting star, then added my MS glitter.
For the top portion-I used Soft Sky cardstock. I first stamped the larger Make A Wish sentiment. Using my stamp-a-ma-jig again, I made my bkgd paper stamping the smaller make a wish sentiment in white craft ink. Its a soft and very pretty look.
I felt simple was best. Tied it off with a soft sheer ribbon ribbon.
Arent they SO pretty! Its a set that is gender and age neutral. I think letting someone know what the set benefits is a gift in itself.

Absolutely beautiful. I love your “Style”. You have a definite flair for design, an “artists eye” they say.

Oh Lauren those are gorgeous! Love your cards!
The glitter is awesome, I too love the bling!TFS!
They’re both gorgeous!
Love the way all the cards using this set are so very different!
I do wish Gina would make a stamp for the back of the cards that lets people know that the set used was part of “Stamps for a Cause” with the website address — it could be a single, neutral stamp that is used for all the causes, so we can keep supporting her and making cards with the back stamped, too — thus generating further interest…
What do you think?
Hugs all — I can’t wait for payday to go and order my set! Thanks for your inspiration, Lauren, and for your encouragement on my coloring on my blog! ;^)*
Hi Julie There is a small stamp with the copyright info on it that you can post on the back of your cards!
