Sunflower Love & Courage friend card

My card today is very near and dear to my heart.  I've used the Making a Difference stamp set for 2025, Love & Courage, to make this card for my friend.  Although, mine is specifically pink, this set can be used for any type of cancer and made into any of the colors that represent the different cancers.  I think it's a must have in your collection.  Who doesn't know someone who is or has fought the battle?  Sometimes a little encouragement is all it takes to make someone's day when they aren't feeling great.  You can watch the video tutorial on how I've put my card together over on my YouTube channel. 

Supplies and Measurements:

Love & Courage ($3 from each stamp set sold goes to breast cancer non-profits.)

To The Point Label topped box in a bag

 I saw an idea making a large box in a bag that used a 9” piece of Designer Series Paper which gave me the idea to alter the dimensions in order to make better use of a 12 x 12 sheet.  I usually make multiples so using a piece of Designer Series Paper that size wasn’t to my liking.  First, I altered it to make a bag that had a 1 1/4” square bottom and I really liked the size.  Then, I thought it might be less wasteful to make it a bit bigger and still get six from a 12 x 12 sheet but with no waste.  I went back to the math and came out with my larger bag measurements.  To see how I put both bags together, be sure to watch the video replay on my YouTube channel.

Supplies and Measurements:

Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper 164919

    For Small Bag 3 1/2" x 5 1/2"

    Score on 3 1/2" side at 1 1/4".  If directional paper, the bottom of the pattern should be where you are scoring at (if using a Simply Scored, pattern bottom should be on the left.)  Rotate DSP clockwise to the 5 1/2" side.  Your scoring line should be at the top of the scoring tool.  Score only down to the score line at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 3 3/4" and 5"

   

 For Larger Bag 4" x 6"

    Score on the 4" side at 1 3/8" (If directional, pattern should be on the left of the Simply Scored tool).  Rotate clockwise (score line should be at the top of the tool) and score only down to the score line at 

1 3/8", 2 3/4", 4 1/8" & 5 1/2"
