SU Share Sunshine PDF cards 19, 20, 21

Just wanted to spread a little sunshine during these times of uncertainty and distance so I used the Stampin Up Share Sunshine PDF digital download (expired June 2, 2020) to create a lot of cards!  Sometimes it just helps to know that we are all in this together and that a simple act of kindness like spreading a little sunshine can make all the difference in our lives!


The above card was an idea I took off a Facebook page.


Inspiration for the above card came from Instagram.

SU Share Sunshine PDF cards 16, 17, 18

Many of us supported the COVID 19 giveback and grabbed a copy of the Stampin Up Share Sunshine PDF file (expired June 2, 2020).  Stampin Upl donated 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of this digital download to COVID19 global relief efforts. The last download total I seen on June 2, was close to $219,000.00 but I do believe they sent out another update, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Social distancing is our new normal right now and it is hard. Staying connected is so important so why not spread a little sunshine with some handmade cards. The Share Sunshine digital file by Stampin Up (expired June 2, 202) had lots of inspiration for me to use! The possibilities were endless!

SU Share Sunshine PDF cards 7, 8, 9

The Share Sunshine PDF Download (expired June 2, 2020) has both lighthearted and heartfelt sentiments and imagery relevant to the unique COVID-19 and social distancing situation we experienced early this year. We simply printed the imagery on cardstock and cut it out. Since we are physically distanced from each other, now is a perfect time to share sunshine with our friends and family by sending cards!  Here are more that I made and sent.

SU Share Sunshine PDF cards 1, 2, 3

As part of the Making a Difference program, Stampin' Up! offered a product giveback opportunity to support organizations that are helping COVID-19 frontline responders and communities vulnerable to the pandemic.  We could purchase the Share Sunshine PDF Download for $12US (expired June 2, 2020) and Stampin' Up! donated 100% of the proceeds to COVID-19 efforts. I got a little carried away making cards with this PDF so for the next month, I want to share fun ways I used these digital images in my card making.



I didn’t keep track of the stamp sets/dies/cardstock etc that I used but if you want to know any details about them, just ask and I will do my best to answer you.
