Charity paper dolls, outfits, printables, raising money, and world prematurity day

Have you heard about Bliss and Prematurity Day before?

I just know that Saturday 17 November 2012 is Prematurity Day 

and this year Bliss is getting behind the international campaign to raise awareness

of the 15 million babies who are born too soon each year.

Laura has introduced (in cupcakes for clara) three ways you can help raise money for Bliss, 

and two fancy new products that she hope you will love. 

~ You can purchase this gorgeous single outfit card from the shop. It has been designed by Caitlin Verlinden, aged nine. Caitlin was the winner of the grand design an outfit for Clara competition, and 200 of these cards have been printed up to raise money for Bliss. 

Each card costs £1.75 which includes UK postage (international postage is subsidised). Every single penny of the proceeds will go directly to Bliss, which means at least £1.20 from each card will go to Bliss.

- Beautifully printed on FSC 300gsm card stock. Each card is 85mm x 54mm.

- Please note this set does not include a Clara doll. Only a single outfit card. 

Clara cards with the doll on can be purchased separately. 

Laura has created an extra special downloadable Clara paper doll card full of outfits, and a Clara paper doll, designed by some extremely talented children. The competition runners up who have been included in this pdf are Kira Ingram aged six, Jonas aged eight, Noelle aged six, Bo Colston aged eight, and Caitlin's outfit has also been included. There is also a colour your own outfit on the sheet.

~ If you donate any amount of money to Bliss (even one pound) through the brand new Cupcakes for Clara JustGiving page then you will receive the very special downloadable paper doll pdf. Clara paper dolls have never been available to download before so this is super exciting, and it's the only way to get one!

~ And she is donating all of the profits from every paper doll or outfit sold in her etsy shop this weekend.

Every single penny counts for Bliss, so please do donate even if it is a very small amount. 

Washi Tape Gift Tags DIY

source

I get up so early today (before 4 am) and just find the colourful washi tape gift tags at Decor8 blog. 

They are SUPER EASY to make using simple tags, fabrics and washi tape. (*_*)

After you find the fabrics you love, you tear them into strips (or cut neatly if neat is your thing) 

and then lay out your washi tapes and see which colors work with your fabrics.

Once you have your tags , start tearing your washi tape by hand into strips, in all lengths and widths.

Raw torn edges look best. Layer them, create patterns, do whatever works and stick washi tape 

on ONE side of the tag, trimming the edges so that you aren’t folding the tape over the tag 

to the other side – you want the other side to be washi-free so you can write your message there. 

Loop the fabric through and tie it. You can also use ribbon instead of fabric, of course, 

but this is more unique. (^_^)b

These are so pretty. I'll make my own this weekend.
