Need Ideas

[Donnarie]

My friend asked me to make something that could be auctioned off to benefit Dollars for Scholars. I said I would, of course, but now I don't know what to make. A set of cards? Something altered? Does anybody have any good ideas, or better yet, samples to show? TIA!

i think a set of cards in a pretty box or tin would be nice

you could include a matching pen and postage

I like the cards in a pretty box idea too...I would also include a calendar for events for people to remember That way they can use the cards when they need them.

Did you see the link with the DSP made into a handbag? You could make cards and put inside of the handbag. I will try to post the link here.
Do a search if it doesn't work. Good luck. Another idea is scrapbook page layouts. Some people are buying premade ready to use Scrapbook pages.

the calendar is a very clever idea!!!


i have been wanting to do that for my mom...

i gave her 20 christmas cards and a book of stamps at christmas time, she loved them

I've done sets of four tile coasters that have gone for $25-$40 at silent auctions. People seem to like those stamped with the Artifacts set.

Great ideas...I knew you guys would come through. I love the idea to put stamps, a pen, a calendar, etc. with a set of cards. Coasters...that's also interesting. Thanks!

I can't get to the DP purse link either...maybe it's on the Demo side???

There was a set of handmade cards in a box auctioned at my school district's fund raiser. It brought in $50.

I made some baby paint cans for an auction that went over well. Here are two examples:
B is for Baby Can by lbirus at Splitcoaststampers
Baby Andrew Can by lbirus at Splitcoaststampers

I also bet that a tin with cards already done would go over:

My bff bought some stamping supplies and auctioned them off with a coupon for a free workshop. Then the next year she did a free kids stamping bday party.
