Calling All Sistahs August Reminder




Hello Bosom Buddies and Blogging Friends!!


It is the 17th of the month and that means that I am here with the CAS-ual Fridays Encouragement Squad to remind you to do your monthly self breast exam and schedule your mammogram if you haven't had one yet this year!!  Please stop by the Calling All Sistahs August Reminder post to see what the Encouragement Squad have made this month!!


Be sure to check out all the Calling All Sistahs collection of stamps and dies designed shortly after Michele, the owner of CAS-ual Fridays, was diagnosed  with Breast Cancer in 2015.  She designed them with the purpose of donating 50% profits to breast cancer awareness programs and to provide you with awesome stamps to remind and encourage your friends!


Here is my reminder card:




Ingredients:

Pink paper
White wood grain paper
Kraft card stock
Versamark
Victorian Velvet distress ink
Spun Sugar distress ink
Black ink
Pink crinkle ribbon
Swirl embossing folder

For this 6" by 6" card I started with Kraft card stock for the base of the card.  I took a piece of Lemoncraft Yesterday paper, inked the edges with Spun Sugar distress ink and added that to the base of the card.  I took a piece of white wood grain paper and stamped it with Versamark and then heat embossed it with Emerald Creek Rose Gold embossing powder. I tore the top and bottom edges with a ripping tool, inked the edges with black ink and then added that to the card.  I took pink paper and the CAS-ual Fridays Ruffled Ribbon die and cut out the ribbon, I ran it through my Big Shot with the Swirl embossing folder and then rubbed some Victorian Velvet distress ink over the paper and added that to the card. I took some Pink crinkle ribbon and made a bow and added that to the center of the hope ribbon.



Be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Friday Blog to see what the other Girl Friday's from the Encouragement Squad have created for our August Sistahs Reminder!


Then why not stop by the CAS-ual Fridays store to see all the wonderful stamp sets there are to make cards of encouragement with!!  If you decide that there are one or two stamp sets that you just have to have then use this code: cas-comfort to get 15% off stamps and dies!!  Thank you Michele, for letting me pass this on to my blog followers!!


Tomorrow will be the start of a new Encouragement Challenge and we would love to have you participate!  You might even be the winner of the prize!!  I sure hope you will join us for this Challenge!!

Thanks for stopping by!
