If you're just coming to my blog today, I feature a product each Friday for the month giving you ideas on what you can do with the product. If you'd like to look at the other posts for this month you can find them
HERE and
HERE. As a recap I'm featuring the Ribbon of Courage this month in honor of Breast Cancer awareness. This is also a reminder for those who don't get a mammogram annually, please schedule yours. These tests have saved countless lives and I'm one of them!
This is the bundle I'm featuring. As I mentioned in my original post, Patty Bennett, a recent Million Dollar achiever, inspired this set in honor of her mother who she lost to breast cancer. Since this bundle is new to this year's Annual Catalog, Stampin' Up! made it a bundle, so you you can save 10% when purchasing the stamp set and framelit together! When I saw this bundle I knew I had to have it immediately!
So this week I'm going to show you cards that don't have the cancer theme! Just a way to show the versatility of this bundle!
This first card is great for just a thinking of you or Valentine's Day! Or someone not feeling great. A pretty simple card. I used Calypso Coral and Whisper White along with a few punches. A card you could whip up real quick. I really love that lacy border punch called Decorative Ribbon and I hardly ever use it! I'll have to pull it out more often!
This next card uses that large heart again. On this card I stamped the heart 4 times and die cut them all out. I used the blender pen with Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive to color the hearts in. I used the black marker to hand draw the stem and the "good luck" is from Banners For You. Not sure if you can see it in the picture but I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen and drew around each heart and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. It really sparkles! I also stamped the small flower from the set, colored it in and fussy cut it out then added glitter to it as well. This card looks really great in person.
This next card was a lot of fun! I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) this from Frenchie. For this card I just die cut the ribbon and used the bone folder to give the ends a little curl. The fish's mouth and fins are from the Blossom Builder Punch! I used a Rhinestone that I colored with my new Bronze Blends marker! The bubbles are from the Seaside Shore stamp set and the "happy birthday" is from Balloon Celebration and the "waves" are from the Seaside Texture Embossing Folder. I sponged some ink on the waves to give it a variation in color. I also sponged some ink onto the fins as well.
This last card I CASED two cards and blended them together. I really like how it turned out. I finally used the new embossing folder, Sweetheart. It's one of the square folders, which makes it nice, you can do landscape or portrait. The sentiment and flowers with leaves are form the bundle. I used the heart framelit to pull into the heart from the embossing folder. Totally changes the look from using the ribbon as the focal point. To add a bit of bling, I used some iridescent sequins. To make the sentiment pop I used Fresh Fig ink and coordinated it with the 1/8" sheer ribbon.
I hope you enjoyed these samples. I'll have one more week of samples and continue to show how to use this bundle as something besides cancer. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend! I've put links for all the supplies used to make these cards below or you can hop on over to my
