October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Good Morning and Happy Thursday!Well, I am happy to say, I think I am finally kicking this cold. Good Gravy, it sure did want to hang on but I think I got enough Vitamin C in my it had no choice but to head for the hills.

Anyway, I know you all are aware, but I just want to make sure you're REALLY aware and do my PSA, that October is Breast Cancer awareness month and remind all of my friends to get those yearly mamo's done! I know, I know...you've all heard it, but just remember, for that few minutes of discomfort, you will save your family from a lot of heart ache. Early detection is key to a successful outcome! In addition, with early detection, you will often have more treatment options presented to you...trust me, it makes a HUGE difference.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am donating my sales commission from all orders I receive this month to Breast Cancer Research. (That's how strongly I feel about it!) It's imperative that we find a cure for this deadly disease, so I'm going to do my part. And, I want to reward you for helping me do this; so for every order of $25 or more you place in my online store, using the Host Code HMWPPBC3, I will send you card kits to complete 3 cards,1 each of the 3 designs! All of the embossing, die cutting and punching will be done for you, all you will need to provide is adhesive, stamps and ink! And, if you add the Ribbon of Courage stamp set to your order, I will DOUBLE the card kits I send to you, that will be 2 each of the 3 designs for a total of 6 cards. And of course if all combined orders reach a total of $150, there will be a drawing for the $15 Host Rewards! Who couldn't use a little free product added to their day?

Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper Sale

Now's the time to stock up on those designer papers that you love so much! Especially the ones you NEVER want to run out of, because you know the paper will retire when their catalog comes to an end and I don't know about you, but there is always a patterned paper in every catalog that I just absolutely fall in Love with and never want to run out of, so I either hoard it (which does NO ONE any good) or I buy LOTS of it so I just can't run out...a far better option that way I get to use it too and other get the final product to enjoy it's beauty as well.

Good Tidings Stampin' Up! Style

Hello and happy Tuesday! I hope you're all doing well. I'm doing the uphill battle with this cold. I have found night time to be worse of course, but we're getting there and now there's hubby that has it to, only his is a man cold! You know the one, the cold that is 10x worse than yours? Yeah, that one. Anyway...I just thank God I have stamping!
Which brings me to today's project! I just love this stamp set. I has so many possibilities but today, I wanted to show you a card that keeps it really simple but still packs a bit of wow with the sentiment serving as the focal point while highlighting some of our beautiful designer series paper. (Right now, through October 31st, Stampin' Up! has several of our DSP on sale Buy 3 Get 1 Free; unfortunately this isn't one of them)

Directions:

Begin with a standard card base of 8." x 5.5" scored and folded at 4.25" and layer with a piece of Old Olive cut 4" x 5.25" run through the Big Shot with the Oh My Stars embossing folder. Then layer a piece of the Merry Little Christmas DSP cut 2.25" x 4" onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 2.5" x 4". Add another piece of the DSP (I used the flip side of the Old Olive design) cut at 1.75" x 3.25" and adhere at an angle. Finally, stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then, for the Holly, stamp the greenery (this is a two step stamp) with Old Olive ink, stamp off for the first layer, then full strength for the second stamp. Then, using Real Red ink, do the same for the berries, as these are also a 2 step stamp. Run this through the Big Shot with the Layering Circles Framelits and add to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. 
I hope you enjoyed today's card. If so, please leave a comment and I would love for you to join my mailing list for more fun ideas like this one. 
Have an amazing day and Happy Stamping,
