Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Sunflower Love & Courage Making a Difference card tutorial

For my project today, I wanted to make a card using the Love & Courage stamp set and pair it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.  I used an ink blending technique to ink my focal background.  The sentiment uses a colored ink embossing powder technique.  I hope you are inspired to make some cards of encouragement for those in your life that are fighting the battle, not just breast cancer, with any cancer.  Change up the colors to suit your needs.  This is an important fight and most of know someone who is currently struggling with it or has fought the fight already.  $3 of every stamp set purchased in my Stampin' Up! online store goes to a Breast Cancer organization.  

To see how I've put this card together and learn the techniques I've used, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.  You can make several of these in whatever color you choose and donate to a cancer center.  They'll get into the hands of those who could use some encouragement and you get the joy of stamping and giving.

Lights of Aurora Scenic Adventure card

Oh my gosh!  How I do love the new 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack, Lights of Aurora.  It was introduced on September 3 along with a suite of products.  I decided to purchase only the gems and DSP from the suite and combine it with the Scenic Adventure bundle as I thought I would get more use from both pieces of the bundle.  I love how this card turned out and just how easy it was.  A few die cuts, the dsp, a stamped sentiment and what a beautiful card you have.  It would work for either feminine or masculine and most any occasion.  To see how I've put my card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.
