Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day, which is good since there’s an air quality alert here in NJ again.

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

• For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.
  • You’ll earn your Creative Stamping Designs Rewards with all order of $50 or more (before tax & shipping).
  • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

• For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Mercury One and you’ll be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be give away on July 20th.

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

• If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight Eastern Time on Saturday July 19 to be entered to win the machine.  One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Sunday July 20th from all of the entries received.

Any questions, please send me an email to creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com. I appreciate your help more than I can express.
