Love & Courage

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and today’s projects are extra special. I’ll be creating with the heartfelt Love & Courage Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! — a meaningful part of their Make a Difference Campaign. With every Love & Courage stamp set sold, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to support breast cancer awareness and research. Together, we can craft and make a difference.

I had so much fun creating with the Love & Courage Stamp Set, that I created 2 Alternate Samples from my original designs.

1 Template 2 Ways

This week on Template Thursday with Tammy I am creating 1 Template 2 Ways. I love how I took one template and made it two ways to create beautiful Fall-themed cards. For my inspiration this week, I will be using another Mojo Monday sketch, which are my favorite sketches.

Fun Fold with Festive Friends

This week on Teach it Tuesday with Tammy and Jennie, I decided to make this super cute Fun Fold with Festive Friends.  This Fun Fold not only works with Festive Friends, but it can pretty much work with any stamp set or bundle.

 

 

What I love about this fold, it has a secret pocket on the side for a sentiment and or gift card.
