Calling All Sistahs October Challenge.

Hi Sistahs,

I am here with our monthly Calling All Sistahs Encouragement challenge from CAS-ual Fridays. Our little bunch of Sistahs are all about raising awareness for Breast Cancer and would love you to join our monthly challenge.

What do we mean by an 'Encouragement' card? Well anything that would brighten someone's day. I am sure you have plenty of ideas of how to do this and make cards like this every time you sit down you craft. So why not share them with us?

This month we are changing things and having a sketch instead of a photo and colours.

I am not so good with sketches but gave it a go and came up with this card:

I have used the stamp set Word Ribbon and the tags are Tag Buddies Fri-Dies. Both from CAS-ual Fridays

And our sketch:

Here is how you play along:

1. Make a card that will brighten someone's day inspired by the sketch.

2. Link up here by 12am EST on the 13th of June

3. Share with your friends and followers so we can get the word out about our challenge.

One person will win a $25 gift code to use on anything in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store.  All products are welcome, but if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps or dies on your card, Michele will DOUBLE your prize!!!

My fellow Sistahs have all made amazing cards-check them out here and then get inky!

Make someone happy today with a very special card from you!

Can't wait to see your cards!

Enjoy xx

Calling All Sistahs August Challenge-Not All Cancers Is Pink

Hi Sistahs,
I am here with our monthly Calling All Sistahs Encouragement challenge from CAS-ual Fridays. Our little bunch of Sistahs are all about raising awareness for Breast Cancer and would love you to join our monthly challenge.

This month we are doing something a little different and trying to raise awareness for all types of cancer-our graphic below shows you all the different colours that are used to support different types of cancer. So this month we want to spread our wings a little wider and include raising awareness for all cancers and we hope you will join us.

What do we mean by an 'Encouragement' card? Well anything that would brighten someone's day. I am sure you have plenty of ideas of how to do this and make cards like this every time you sit down you craft. So why not share them with us?

We have a photo and some colours to inspire you. Use either the photo or the colours-you don't need to use both but can if you want.

Here is the card I made for this challenge and you will see below why I went with these colours:

I decided to use the slash stamp from the CAS-ual Friday 'Breathe' stamp set in all the different colours that represent cancers that some of my loved ones have been effected by-the graphic below shows you what these are.

I die cut from this stamped card a ribbon using the Ruffled Ribbon Die. Popped this up on some foam that I had also cut with this die.

I finished the card by die cutting the sentiment from the Hope Fri-Die

Here is how you play along:

1. Make a card that will brighten someone's day inspired by the photo or colours or both.

2. Link up here by 12am EST on the 13th of June

3. Share with your friends and followers so we can get the word out about our challenge.

One person will win a $25 gift code to use on anything in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store.  All products are welcome, but if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps or dies on your card, Michele will DOUBLE your prize!!!

I white heat embossed Full on Floral Background Stamp on pink card. Then die cut from this the Ruffled Ribbon die. Set this aside and then used the same die to cut out the ribbon in grey fun foam.

We have a photo and some colours to inspire you. Use either the photo or the colours-you don't need to use both but can if you want.

Here I have used the CAS-ual Fridays Stamp set 'Breathe'

I was a bit stuck here at first with this photo but suddenly inspiration struck me looking at the lower part of the photo and the stripes of colour on the back board-not sure exactly what they are but they gave me the idea of using the stripes from this set in our colours. And the sentiment would surely encourage any one that needed it!

Here is how you play along:

1. Make a card that will brighten someone's day inspired by the photo or colours or both.

June Calling All Sistahs Reminder

Hello There,

I am here today as part of the Calling All Sistahs design team, to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer and the importance of doing that monthly self breast exam. It takes 5 mins-check out how to do that here.

Michele, owner and designer of CAS-ual Friday Stamps designed a special line of stamps and dies to help raise awareness of Breast Cancer-you can check them out here. Michele donates 50% of the profit from these to National Breast Cancer Awareness.

Here is my reminder card for this month:

I have used the stamp set Peace and Comfort stamp set here. I embossed it in gold on some scrap card that I had previously made using brushos. The frame is from STAMPlorations. I followed through the gold by actually stamping a spatter stamp with delicata ink-I find this easier to control than just splatter with watercolour!

I used the colours and the patterns as inspiration.

I have used the CAS-ual Friday stamp set Be.

I simple stamped the sentiments and baby butterflies with the help of my Misti! And mounted it on some designer paper.

This card looks like it took me 5 mins but it was weeks of thinking of what to do-I found the photo a challenge! And then a long time in deciding exactly how to place the sentiments so I found it easy on the eye.

I will enter this into:

Less is More-Purple-my little ribbon, enamel dots and strip of purple(....card 2 Nonni-challenge you set me done!)

CASology-Glimmer-I am using this in the terms of 'glimmer of hope'. Some may feel when they get the diagnosis of cancer that there is no hope but there is always hope and even if it is a late diagnosis there is always a glimmer of hope and increasingly so with all the research that has been done. Plus if you do your regular monthly breast chest- that we are here to remind you about-then that glimmer becomes a bright shining light.
