All Occasion Card using Strength & Hope

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great day today!

I wanted to share a simple and easy card with you today. I'm trying to get my mojo back and this is a good start to getting back into the card making groove, you know what I mean, "wink"! I was off all last week and had great plans to be in my craft room the whole time, but it just seemed to happen, there was always something else more important that would come up and I just didn't get awhole lot done, unless you consider cleaning the house so the health department didn't come and put tape across the doors important!!

OK, enough with the blabber, no I didn't forget to put a sentiment on the front of the card, I left it blank on purpose so if I needed a card really quick, all I would have to do is make one and stick it on, love that! I cut some squares and rotated them to get the background under the butterfly.

Card Recipe (All Stampin' Up!):
Stamps: Strength & Hope, EnFrancais, Solid Stripes (I used this to make my own designer paper under the butterfly!)
Ink: Pretty In Pink, Pear Pizzazz
Card stock:Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and Pretty In Pink

Dazzling Diamonds (you'll have to click on the picture to see it better)

Strength & Hope



Hey everyone, how are you all doing? It is on the chilly side here and no sun either, it is very dreary here this week-end.


Today's card is one that came together very quickly, for me anyway, which is always nice. I think it only took about 15 minutes to make. This card was mailed as a "thinking about you" for a card request over on Splitcoaststampers. This stamp set is offered by Stampin' Up and every set that is order, they donate $2.00 to the Breast Cancer Research Fund. Since my mother is a breast cancer survivor, I really wanted to support this.


All supplies are from Stampin' Up. I made the color block on the embossed background with my clear acrylic block "D" with Pretty In Pink ink, makes for a fast background. Than stamped the words in Regal Rose ink. Butterfly has pearls on it for the body, as well as, dazzling diamond glitter, it was stamped in Regal Rose ink also. I popped it up on a dimensional, lightly sponged the embossed area and added a Pretty In Pink ribbon.


Thanks for stopping in to see me and I would love to hear from you too........Mary
