My card uses scraps and a second technique piece I created for the November CAS blog hop. Clicky to see that card and video.  (but be sure to come back here for the hop)

Calling All Sistahs ~ Breast Cancer Awareness

October is breast cancer awareness month.  As you probably know each month I have the privilege of coordinating the Calling All Sistahs blog hop put on by CASual Fridays Stamps to remind our sistahs to do their monthly self-exams and schedule their yearly mamograms when they are due.

In honor of breast cancer awareness month we wanted to do a special hop to encourage our friends & family that are currently or recently battling breast cancer.


My card today is a CASE (copy and share everything) of a gorgeous card by Rahmat Gouse.  clicky to see her wonderful card.  I recreated it with some brand new stamps releasing this week from CASual Fridays Stamps.  I'm just in love with the new Word Ribbon and all the encouraging sentiments in all 3 of the new stamp sets.


Using acetate as the front of the card makes it look like the butterflies are floating around the ribbon.  I adhered them with glue dots.  Seeing the glue dots doesn't bother me, but if it does bother you, you can add a small heart die cut, or cut more stamped butterflies for the inside.  I fussy cut my butterflies, but you can also just use a circle punch or die to cut them out making it super easy to hide the adhesive on the inside.


On the inside I stamped "Miracles" in a slightly darker shade of pink that the ribbon.  The encouraging sentiment on my card reads: "Believe in Miracles".  <3  Cancer can be cured if it is caught early and treated.  I want you to survive, so please take a moment right now to do your self-check and then make sure you have your mammogram scheduled for this year.  You matter to me!

I'm the last link on the hop, so if you are just starting or halfway through, you will want to start again at the top with CASual Fridays Stamps, and leave a comment on each stop along the hop.  Michele will be giving away all 3 new stamp sets included in her release this week to one lucky commenter!  It could be you!!!

Before you go I want to ask you to join us for next month's hop.  It's really easy and Michele has made it even easier for everyone to join.  All you need is a blog and at least one item from CASual Fridays stamps to use on your card.  It doesn't need to be from the Calling All Sistahs line, but you might want it to after you see the new addition to this fantastic line of stamps and dies.

If you are interested in joining next month's hop email me at sistahoodhop @ outlook. com (no spaces)  Join our Facebook group to get the latest updates and inspiration.
