Hope and Courage Breast Cancer Awareness Card

 

Breast cancer is still far too prevalent.  Here is a card you can make easily and send to someone who might really need it.

Let’s make a slimline card today.

 Supplies:

A Way With Words Hope
ECD   
Emerald Creek 

A Way With Words Courage
ECD  
Emerald Creek 

Pink Cardstock
Gold Cardstock
Patterned Paper
Glue Dots - Micro
Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares.

Instructions:

1. Form an 8.5 x 3.75” slimline tent-fold card base using white cardstock.
2. Cut a panel slightly smaller from patterned paper of your choice.  Small sweet patterns will work well, I think.
3. Die cut Hope and Courage from dark pink cardstock.
4. Die cut the ribbon from the Hope set from gold cardstock.
5. Assemble as shown in the photo using Glue Dots to attach the A Way With Words diecuts and the foam adhesive to adhere the patterned paper panel.

 I hope this helps you create a beautiful, hopeful and encouraging card.  Wishing everyone the best.

Nature Gives to Every Time and Season

 

Hello Crafty Friends!

How are you enjoying your autumn?  For many people, this is their favorite time of year...and I understand why!  Over the weekend I spent time walking on trails (and crafting, of course).  Oh- I so love this time of year!  The trees are colorfully gorgeous, the temperatures are just right, and crafting is inspired by fall beauty.  

Do you have a "go to" autumn stamp set?  The Autumn Collection stamp set is my favorite.  

The card I am sharing today was used using two of the stamps from the set:

The card front features a background created using the wheat stamp.  The image was stamped using brown water reactive ink and then stamped again for a lighter image.  The image was re-inked and the process repeated.

The background was then cut to size, edges aged using brown water reactive ink, matted and mounted onto a card base.  Next, the "Nature gives to every" stamp had dark brown ink applied and was stamped onto ivory paper.  It was die cut using a stitched square and mounted on die cut gold card stock.

The finishing touches were coordinating flowers, a wee twine bow, and a sweet gem.  

I hope you enjoyed the festive, fall card.  You can pick up the Autumn Collection stamp set and other amazing Suzanne Cannon stamps, dies, and Modern Gilding Powders at Emerald Creek.  

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a happy, crafty day.
