Hi there, I have created some more Bike themed cards for our friend Bronwyn's Cardiac Challenge. (Refer this post...   http://barbnshellcreations.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/bicycles-bicycles-bicycles-and-cardiac.html)

I created a set of 5 cards using pinks, purple and maroon coloured card, with a common metallic bronze paper for matting.  All the images are stamped with versamark and heat embossed with Judikins Metallic Copper Embossing Powder.

 I created a 'paper' box using the envelope maker - I came across this fantastic site which tells you how to use your envelope maker to create a box -  all you need to do is have the measurements of your creation, type these measurements into the site and it works out exactly where you need to punch and score!!!  http://www.thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/  How easy is that!!  Thank-you so much Crafty Owl for making the boxbuster!!!

I have used Stampin' Up Images and Wording for all of the above cards as follows:

Summer Afternoon
Timeless Talk
Postage Due
Feeling Sentimental
Postage Collection
Loving Thoughts
Tea Shoppe

I used 3 Embossing Folders as follows:

Stampin' Up Textured Impressions
Cuttlebug - Spots and Dots and
Mpress - Heather Border

I also used ribbon, brads, rhinestones and tiny flowers.  As well as the cardstock and metallic bronze paper.

The Cardiac Challenge is still a couple of weeks away, so if you wished to donate and have not had the chance, any donations would be greatly appreciated for such a worthy cause!!

Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles and Cardiac Challenges...

Hello,

Every year, the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation and Mount Franklin hold a fundraiser - "Cardiac Challenge".  This is a non-profitable Charity fundraising event where all the funds raised will be used for equipment and support Cardiac Services at the Cairns Hospital.

A close friend of ours (Bronwyn) has teamed up with her sister (Erin) - "Sister Act" and are participating in the Cardiac Challenge - where they will be required to ride their bikes from Cairns to Cooktown  on August 29-31, 2014!

A couple of weeks ago, "Sister Act" had a wine and cheese evening, for which we created a donation for one of their raffles...

As it is a bike ride - guess what we used as our theme????

We created a selection of cards - 5 in total and a gorgeous little box to hold them.

The above is a photo of the box.

And, here are the cards...

The stamps used are Stampin' Up and Kaisercraft stamps (If you would like to know which stamps in particular - please send us an email and we can let you know)

Last years fundraising event raised $374,741.84 !!  Fantastic!  This year they are hoping to create a new record!  If you would like to assist "Sister Act" with their fundraising goals for the Hospital Foundation, please visit:

The Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation and "Sister Act" are most grateful for your generous support!

We wish you all the best - Bronwyn and Erin!

and we wish you all the best for the next challenges you face in your lives - crafty or otherwise!
