Hello Friends, How is your day going? Ahhh it feels so good to be home and do somewhat a regular type of post. I knew September would be really hard for me because I am-will be missing 16 days from home this month. Talk about coloring on the go … I practice what I preach lol.
This stamp set is all kinda awesome and not only is it a must have but, 100% of the sales goes to Danielle’s dad’s GoFund me page.(Danielle is the owner of Neat & Tangled) I was with Heidi from Simon Says Stamp when she discovered that all the funds needed for Danielle’s dad were not raised … so treatment was at a critical point. I get goose bumps reliving how Heidi went into action to make the sale of this stamp set go directly to Danielle and her dad’s care. Talk about a game changer. (I hope it’s ok to share this personal info but, there is so much bad happening in the word I just had to go with my gutt & share this beautiful story)
This is what Heidi said on the SSS blog “NOTE: Some of you might be aware of the health battle Danielle’s father is facing currently. We are happy to donate all of the sales from these stamps and dies to a fund supporting him on his journey back to health. For more info, and if you’d like to help out a fellow crafter’s family, please visit this GoFundMe page.”
It’s sooo rare when someone is that generous to donate 100% of the sales of a product and we are talking face value. I am lucky to say that Heidi is a close friend and she’s such a generous, loving, passionate and caring friend. AND that girl loves to craft like I love to color!!!
The stamp set is called, “Hello Pumpkin” and it’s available for a limited time. This is the stencil I used on the background. I love that the value of a stencil is so reasonable and it’s easier to ink up than a background stamps. For years I have been saying that stencils are the new background stamp for me. Ok that’s all the tid bits I have for you today. Thanks for your continued visits and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Love those mice diving into the pile, so sweet and SO amazing of Heidi to donate all the proceeds to Danielle’s Dad. When I first heard I was floored andI still am! Her generosity, no words.
Agree, Miriam. Heidi’s kindness and generosity leaves me speechless.
This is so cute. Heidi is so generous.
I just received my two combo sets (one for me and one for a friend). How did you do the background on this? My first thought was you put the stencil over and blended ink on top only where you wanted the stencil to show. But, then it looks like you added to the stencil markings with white in some of the shapes, so now I’m not sure. Maybe there will be a whole video. Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll start my first card with this idea.
Your first thought was correct, Francine. After I colored I added the stencil over top and ink blended just in some of the white space areas.
Such a great fall card!!
This is adorable!
Love this adorable stamp set and your card too! The background is a perfect backdrop for the sweet scene! TFS!
What a beautiful card Kathy and a wonderful thing for Heidi to do. I wish I could order a set just to help but it just isn’t possible. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Oh my goodness what an adorable scene ! What fabulous spirits crafters have. Such generous hearts.
Oh my, this is just adorable! And how generous of Heidi to donate 100% of the proceeds. I will definitely check it out! Just love your coloring! Thanks for the quick and fun video of how you put it together!
This IS SUCH A SWEET SET! I LOVE the texture you’ve added to these little mice too, Kathy! AND the cool background you’ve stenciled too! 😉 It IS NICE that others are helping Danielle! TRUE FRIENDS do that! 😉
Fun card–love the beautiful fall leaves.
Super sweet. Just like Heidi. Love this caring for one another. Wonderful coloring Kathy.
Such a cute stamp and I live him jumping in the pile of leaves!
So so cute. Love the look of this fun set and your creative coloring.
I got a big smile when I saw what you did with this stamp set. Then you shared that wonderful story. On my way to order this set. Thanks.
Aww, it’s sold out. But that a good thing
Awe bummer! You might be able to order it directly from Danielle on the Neat and Tangled website!!!
This card is so cute! This reminds me of the stamp I have from Darcie’s I think. It’s all these mice and one of the mice are jumping into a pile of leaves. 3 mice are holding up signs like the Olympics – 3.5, 4.6, stuff like that. There is also a house in the background and with this stamp there is plenty to color. You would love it!
Wow, how amazing is it that Heidi is donating the profits to help someone out. That is just so great. Danielle’s dad will be in my prayers tonight.
Love you’re coloring as usual and love your card!
What a F U N card 🙂
LOVE your mice diving into the leaves!
Oh so cute and lovely, you just want to play with them in the leaves.
Adorable stamp set and an awesome fall card!
This is so cute Kathy! I just love that the little mouse jumped off the stump into a pile of leaves! Big smile!
gorgeous card!
love it!
