November Reminder

This post is sorta a sad post because Michele has decided to close the Calling All Sistahs challenge blog because of lack of participation. But not so sad because  plan to still do a reminder to check yourself. I lost my Mom to breast cancer when I was 21 so it is a big deal to me. It may not always be on the 17th of the month but I ill try my best to remind you every month to do a self check.

To make my card I started with a white top folding card base and a white piece of scrap cardstock. I stamped the Word Ribbon on it and embossed it in rose gold and cut it out using the Ruffled Ribbon Fri-die.  Next using the Big Hope Fri-Die, I cut out the word hope with foil paper. To finish the card I used the greeting from the Hope Ribbon Set.

I hope you will play along with us for our last challenge.

October Reminder

Today is the 17th and that means it is time for your monthly reminder to check yourself and get your Mammogram if you haven't yet this year.

 Mammograms are good but they are not enough, if cancer is caught your odds of beating it are better and they way to do that is to check your girls. Our challenge is a reminder for you to do so. 

You can also help find a cure by purchasing products from the Calling All Sistahs line where 50% of the profits go towards breast cancer research.

To create my card I started with a top folding white card base, the Ruffled Ribbon Fri-die and a couple sets by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Using the Fri-die I cut out several ribbons out of white cardstock, on one of them I randomly stamped the floral image and leaves from the Peace & Comfort set. 

Next I glued several of them together and placed the stamped one on top to give it dimension. To finish the card I added the ribbon and stamped a greeting from the Dream then Do set.

Next I stamped the greeting from the set Dream Then Do to keep it simple. For the pink mat I used the direct to paper technique with the It's a girl ink

To make my card I started with a white top folding card base and a piece of watercolor paper cut down with a stitched die. To create the background I shared some distress oxide ink in Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry on the craft mat and spritzed with water then laid the watercolor paper in it, I repeated this several times until I achieved the look I wanted. To finish the card I added the greeting from the set Hope Ribbon and cut of the ribbon using the Ruffled Ribbon Fri-Die and patterned paper.

January Reminder

It's a new year and the 17th so it's time to check those girls!

I have friends who are battling this horrible disease at the present time, so please get your mammograms so you are not added to the count and if you are one of my friends fighting this horrible disease, Fight like a Girl!

As I have said before I lost my mom to breast cancer at a young age and I am a survivor myself so cancer hits home with me and I do not want any more of my friends to have to fight this horrible disease.

To make my card I started with a white top folding card base and a piece of watercolor paper. Using the Original MISTI and the Full on Floral stamp I inked it up using Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder, next I taped off the sides using green painters tape because it seems to seal better. I watercolored the panel using Daniel Smith watercolors and then removed the tape to give me the edges. 

To make the shaker element to my card I used the Ruffled Ribbon Fri-die and cut it out of my floral panel. I used the Word Ribbon set for the background. Using the Misti again, I placed the word ribbon in the negative space from where I cut out the ruffled ribbon and then picked it up with the lid and inked it up with "Be Mine" ink from Catherine Pooler. to finish the card I added some sequins from the Sisterhood Sparkle and a few more that I had on hand. 

I also have a new code to get 15% off your order.

Now for my reminder card. 

This is a really simple cad to make. I started with a Top folding white note card and a panel cut down with a stitched die. Using the MISTI to line them up and some pink ink from Catherine Pooler Stamps I stamped the ribbon from the Hope Ribbon set three times overlapping them just a little, next I stamped the greeting from the set Calling All Sisters in Versamark ink and embossed it in black. To finish the card I aded a piece of gold cord before adhering the panel to the base.
