St Baldricks Charity Event

Have you heard of St. Baldricks? The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.

Recently, I was contacted by a fan of Paper Makeup Stamps, Sarah Williams and she told me the story of her friend. Her friend has a boy named Oliver. Oliver has an inoperable brain tumor that is terminal. Oliver wears an eye patch so that he does not get double vision, but being the trooper and fun little guy that he is, he eye patch sports a guitar and the words, ROCK N ROLL! He's a kid after my own heart.

And indeed, his story has touched my heart. There are so many young ones fighting cancerous diseases, and St. Baldricks is truly making a difference!

I approached Diem about making a fairy just for Oliver with all proceeds of the digi sales going to the St Baldricks and/or family for Oliver. She loved the idea and not only drew the perfect fairy for Oliver, but also an awareness ribbon and the word Rockstar!

This digi set is $4 and you can purchase it here.

And here are 2 cards I made using this digi set!

And why are we releasing this stamp today of all days? Because today, Sarah has commited to to shaving her head to raise money for this charity! You can check out Sarah's commitment page HERE! Sarah, we are so very proud of you!

Release in Review day 2

We're back with round 2 of our release in review!

First we have the announcement of the $15 gift certificate!

Using random.org... Jenny Lazlo is our comment winner!

Jenny, you have a $15 gift certificate to use towards PMS!

And now on to some eye candy...

Remember we said today we would review some of the new images released.

Well we have 2 new "monsters" from Stephen Hammond. I say this loosely because they arent really monsters. ;)

First we have Foo. I cant wait to use him on a card to send to someone when things just arent quite understandable. He just cracks me up!

He is sold with a very appropriate sentiment, Just one of those days. But as you can see, he's just as cute on a little boy card which my son proudly displays this one given to him by the design team member who made it. :D

Card by Ginger Schwerin

Then we have Skater Cat. Cute enough for a young boy, but cool enough for an older one.]

He also comes with a sentiment, Later Sk8ter. As you can see, it's very easy to just use a portion of the sentiment.

Card by Stephanie Zito

And we have new fairies!!! First we have released Will from the Will to Daydream kit as a single! So if you missed him in the card kit last year, now you can own him just in time for spring!!! The card below also uses one of our new word arts, which we released many of this time around!

Card by Katie Cotton

And then we have Danny (my personal favorite of the release!)

And see, you don't just have to be a colorer to love these image stamps! Look how neat he looks with a wordart stamped on top!

Card by Shaela Odd

ANd there is MORE! If you want to check out all the new releases... you can see them all HERE.

Check back in tomorrow for a very SPECIAL post!

We also had another set released called Raindrops and Rainbow Additions. This set coordinates with the Springtime Solids set (the solid clouds from the solids set as you can see on the card below) but also with our previously released Raindrops and Rainbows set. This set includes a larger rainbow but is the same image available from our previous set! Making your stamps have even more possibilities!

The Blog Hop Starts Now

It's the 7th and we have a new release lined up and waiting for you!

The release will be live for purchase tonight at 9pm EST.

At that same time we will have a release party in our FORUM.

(note, you will have to register separately for the forum from the shopping site, to expedite your approval, you can also send an email to katie@papermakeup mentioning your username so it can quickly be approved)

Before we get on to the hop... this past month we ran a special contest on our new facebook page called the Fan Favorite contest. Our winner of this contest is....

Carole Chessar! But she had some stiff competition! All of the cards submitted to the contest, including Carole's will be shown on the blog soon. Congratulations Carole!

And now... onto the hop!

There is a hidden prize in the hop. 1 lucky commenter will win a gift certificate towards rubber stamps. The commenter will be chosen at random and announced on March 11th on our final release in review day.

But this isnt the only benefit of going along the hop! Each blog along the way will have a letter for you. These letters will give you 3 words and these 3 words (with no spaces) will nab you a 15% off YOUR ENTIRE ORDER. That's right, this month the release party code isnt good on just the new release, it's off of everything! But the code is only good for 1 week and the very first letter for you is..... F

Now it's time to start the hop! Your next stop is...
