Each year for the past 13-14 years Stampin'Up! has created an exclusive stamp set where the sales benefit the Ronald McDonald House charities. Last years stamp set was so great and had a matching punch that for the first time ever the stamp set was carried over and became part of the regular stamps offered. There are so many parts to this set I decided to feature it this week.
Colors Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, and Cherry on Top Designer paper
If you like the idea of helping out Ronald McDonald House charities, then check out this years stamp and order it. I will feature it once the new catalog becomes active. $3 from the sale of each stamp set will be sent to the charity.
Come back tomorrow to see how I have used the cloud punch for a really cool technique.

Doesn't this look good enough to eat? This cute card was made using the new Ronald McDonald stamp set. I think it is one of the cutest designs SU has created for the McDonald charity.
This card was one of the 10 cards featured in my monthly card buffet. How does a card buffet work you might wonder? Just like a food buffet you browse the cards offered and make as many as you like of as many cards as you like. The cost? Just $2 a card. Check back tomorrow to see more of the buffet items.
Are you familiar with the Ronald McDonald House? The year I started as a demonstrator at Stampin'Up! they started working with the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Here is what they do.....
1. They donate $100,000 a year to this charity.
2. They create an exclusive stamp set that last for one year only. $3 from the sale of each stamp set also goes to this charity.
3. Demonstrators all over the country work in the houses and organize events for the families who are staying at the houses.
4. In the time SU has been working with them they have donated well over 1,000,000 to the charity.
So, to support this work, I purchase the stamp set each year and create a project using the stamp for my Open House. This year's stamp set is called Sprinkle of Life. SU even has a punch that coordinates with the stamp set.
Here is how I made the card.
1. I turned the tree on its side for a branch.
2. I stamped the leaves and then cut a little nest out of the leaves.
3. I punched out two clouds and sponged the edges with Soft Sky ink.
I found the idea for this card on a SU video, and everyone got to make the card and a matching envelope. What do you think of this year's set?
