Every year Stampin’ Up! picks an organization, and they complete a service project that will benefit the chosen organization. In the past, the day of service coincides with one of the incentive trips and are performed in the country that is being visited. Due to COVID-19, Stampin’ Up! had to re-think the day of service. They have announced that the Stampin’ Up! Day of Service will be Thursday, 21 May! With current social distancing practices, employees are participating in Day of Service virtually, which provides the opportunity to include demonstrators and customers in Stampin’ Up!’s service activity. For this year’s Day of Service, They will use the Share Sunshine PDF Download to make and send cards to loved ones, frontline workers, etc. As part of our Day of Service, They are providing each employee with the Share Sunshine PDF Download and will contribute $12 usd per employee to the COVID-19 response funds, as part of our COVID-19 giveback, resulting in a company donation of $5,820 usd for Day of Service!
Watch the video by clicking on the picture below from our Stampin’ Up! CEO, Sara Douglass (she starts talking about the Day Of Service about 5:54 in the video)
They invite demonstrators to participate and encouraged us to share the event with our customers so they can join the fun! Stampin’ Up! employees, demonstrators, and customers will be gathering virtually for our Day of Service craft party on 21 May at 2:00 pm (MT) to make our cards together in a Facebook Live on  Sara Douglass stampin’ up ceo Facebook page. If you are unable to participate in the live craft party, the replay will be available to view any time on Sara’s Facebook page.
To follow along during the live craft party, you will need card bases, Designer Series Paper, a printed copy of the Share Sunshine PDF Download (which can be purchased HERE), embellishments, adhesive, and scissors or a Paper Trimmer. To make it easy for everyone to participate, they’ve also created an instruction sheet for Sara’s four-step cards, which includes a cut map for your Designer Series Paper (any Designer Series Paper will work). Note: A full package of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper will be enough to make four kits (20 cards). You can find the instruction sheet here. They encourage you to come prepared with pre-cut Designer Series Paper! Tomorrow at 2 pm MT, Sara will be doing another Facebook Live to show you how she cut the paper for these projects.
These are the layout for the Day of Service projects designed by Sara.
Here is my version of the Day of Service Projects. I used the Woven Threads DSP, Butterfly Duet Punch, and the Free As A Bird Stamp Set for my sentiments. By using Sara’s Instruction sheet, you can utilize any DSP or Stamp Set you have to make cards to donate to your favorite organization or share a little sunshine with your family and friends by sending them a card. Â
Don’t forget to watch Sara’s Facebook live tomorrow at 2:00 pm MT, then join her live to put your projects together. I would love to see the project you make, feel free to email them to me or add them to the comments for this post.
Happy Stamping!
