Stength & Hope and Winners

Today Samantha is going to our American Cancer Hope Lodge to do a service project.  One of things she is to bring is a basket with small gifts for someone there.  She wanted a packet of cards to include so that the recipient would be able to write notes to friends and family.  My Stampin Success had just come and voila!  A perfect card design was just waiting to be cased.  And it uses the Strength & Hope set which benefits The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  How perfect is that?



This is a 3 x 6 card (3 x 12 folded in half) in Blushing Bride.  The butterflies are stamped in Baja Breeze, So Saffron and Peach Parfait.  Little jewels accent each one and it’s finished off with Blushing Bride ribbon.  I lined the insides in Whisper White, stamped a butterfly in Blushing Bride off the side and left them blank so the person who gets them can use them however they want. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Strength & Hope
card stock – textured Blushing Bride, Whisper White
Ink – Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait, So Saffron
Etc – jewels, Blushing Bride ribbon
