Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Welcome to my Feature Friday/Product of the Month! I was going to do a different bundle but since October is known for Breast Cancer awareness month, I thought this was the perfect time to use the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and it's coordinating framelit called Support Ribbon. This is a bundle, so if you purchase it as a bundle you can save 10%! It come in wood or clear mount and was also inspired by Patty Bennett who was a Million Dollar Sales Achiever. She wanted this in honor of her mother. I don't remember the whole story, so I won't try and ruin it! Also since, my mother had breast cancer and I too am a breast cancer survivor, just another reason to do this bundle this month!So as a survivor, I want to STRONGLY recommend that you get an annual mammogram! If you haven't done one in awhile, please do! Your live may depend on it!
Here is a picture of the bundle and shown in pink! Perfect for this month! What I think is great about this bundle is you can use it for ANY cancer or other ribbon to support a particular cause. Plus you could use it for someone who just isn't feeling good. The sentiments in this set are just fantastic!
This first card is something is made a while ago to show off the Garden Trellis Embossing Folder. Here is shows both sides of the folder which I think look great! I also used the new Glitter Enamel Dots and the 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon in Fresh Fig. I punched the word courage with the Duet Banner Punch. It's a pretty straight forward card.
This next project was made by another friend and demonstrator Pat. She recently did a Pink Crop and did this for a class and made a set for me! Isn't she so sweet!
She used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper to make the "envelope" to hold 2 note cards and their envelopes (they are part of the World Card Making Day sale). The ribbon is the same that I used in the card above 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon in Pink Powder and used it to tie it closed. I've made this holder a while ago and can't remember off the top of my head how it's done, but you use a 12"x12" sheet of paper.
Here it shows the inside of the holder and you can see how nicely the cards & envelopes fit inside. Besides the Powder Pink, she used Berry Burst ink (another new In Color).
In this photo, you can see the cards a bit better. She used a few other things on these cards but kept it pretty clean and simple. One sentiment is punched with a circle punch and the other with the new Pretty Label. There's also some White Baker's Twine and 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon in Powder Pink used as well. The only other thing that always adds a nice touch are the Rhinestone Jewels.
If you'd like to do this as a class or learn how, contact me and we can put something together.
