Stampin’ Up! launched a COVID-19 Share Sunshine stamp set last week. The sentiments are totally relevant to the times talking about social distancing, sending hugs not germs, wearing face masks, staying home. This morning I used the Double Wonder Technique to create 11 Share Sunshine cards. I had a few more sentiments I wanted to use so I created 9 more cards following the sketches found in the Double Wonder. Take a look. I think you’ll get a chuckle out of these COVID-19 Sentiments.

The Share Sunshine stamp set is a downloadable stamp set, positioned as a Giveback COVID-19 fundraiser. The set is $12.00 and 100% of the proceeds go toward global charities. Read more about this fun fundraiser.

Ok so truth be told… I have no kids to give this card to. But isn’t it SO CUTE? I just really wanted to make this card and a few others. So I used my resources and talked to my friend Jodi who actually has little kids. Turns out she wanted the Dinoroar Suite too! So we did what every red-blooded American would do. We got the paper for free and went halvsies on everything else! Here’s the first of three cards featuring the Dino Days Bundle and some of the other products in the Dinoroar Suite.
