Love and Courage

 This stamp set is beautiful and so timely with Breast Cancer awareness coming up in October.  These Nivea Holders are for a Special order.  I’ll be making a few more in different pink tones for Market this Saturday. 

Pinks can be a challenge to match.  This paper has Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo.  So I used a Pretty in Pink cut with a Deckled Circle with Melon Mambo ink.

This is a keeper Stamp set!  And can be used for all different types of cancer just by changing the colors.  

Here is a better look at the back of the holders.  They will be wrapped in cellophane with a Pink Bow.

I’ll be at Independence uptown market Saturday 9/6 and 9/13.  8-1pm.  Come shop local and pick up the holiday catalog,   Shop 24/7 for all the new products at my store:  KathySwanson.stampinup.net

Breast Cancer Awareness Butterfly

I am not sure if this is an official logo....but the moment I saw this posted on Facebook, a card came to mind.  So here we go.....

Petal Pink card base and Ribbon.  Flirty Flamingo Butterfly.  Stylish Scroll embossing folder.

After taking this picture, I wish I had not embossed the Ribbon.  Another Opportunity to embellish or change the final product.  That's what I love about card-making......you can change direction until you get the desired results!

Place an ONLINE order in October and I will donate 10% to Susan G. Komen.

Donation tally.....$8.50.........................................................................................GOAL...$100!

Stronger Together........

I made a few more Breast Cancer cards at the Market.  I really like the Simplistic vibe of this card.  The colors could be changed for whatever Cancer your loved one is fighting.  Place a $50 ONLINE order this month and I will donate 10% to the Susan G, Komen fund.  We are on our way!  Thanks Vicki for your order. 

I grabbed card stock and did not realize I had 2 colors of pink.  Powder Pink card base which is retired and Petal Pink, a bit Brighter for the Popped up ribbon.    I used the Stamparatus to line up the Smoky Slate ribbons on the card.

The Flower embellishment covers a little ink oops!  Sequins, Pearls, always nice to have handy for an opportunity to embellish!
