I LOVE this set. Because I care set. I have borrowed it from April, my sister-in-law.  She just might not get it back!!! lol....I am just loving this flower!!   Here is my take with a few cards using this stamp set, and my favorite colors from Stampin' up!


The colors I used are Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzaz, with some Olive Green in there too.  All materials are Stampin' Up! Let me know if you have any questions.

Strength and Hope - Birthday

I wanted to demonstrate how versatile the Strength and Hope Stamp set it.  I have created this card for a friends birthday with this stamp set. I used Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White and Crumb Cake.    I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing on the Concord Crush Paper, and used my clear block to make a neat background effect on the Crumb Cake card base.   I used rhinestones, and Pear Pizzazz ribbon as accents. I also punched two little flowers from the Boho Blossoms Punch.

Hope you like. Just shows that you can make so many pretty cards with this stamp set!!!


Thanks for stopping in today! 
All materials are Stampin' Up!

Strength and Hope Fundraiser



Throughout the 2011 Summer Mini Catalogue sales period, May 1st - August 31st, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 from the sale of each Strength & Hope set.  This set is available in wood-mount or clear-mount and in English, French and Spanish versions.  Offer strength and hope to those dealing with breast cancer by purchasing the Strength & Hope stamp set.  My sister in law will also donate all of her commissions from the sale of all Strength & Hope set to the Canadian Breast Cancer Association. 

Breast Cancer is something my family has been dealing with over the last 10 years or so. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2002, and thankfully today is cancer free! My two aunts have also been touched with breast cancer as well as many friends and other family members,
 so this fundraiser was very dear to my heart. 

My sister-in-law, April and I will soon be offering a special package with the stamp set and all of the pre-cut cardstock, ribbon and embellishments that you will need to make some beautiful cards.  All you need is your own adhesive and ink. Anyone wishing to purchase the cards, without the stamp set can contact me and we will be happy to make the cards for you.  
With the purchase of each Strength and Hope package, there will also be a donation to the
Canadian Breast Cancer Association.

Stay tuned for more information in the next few days.
