Happy World Card Making Day from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!
As you celebrate the joy of card making today, October 1st also kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is near and dear to my heart because I beat the nasty little disease almost one year ago. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and that affects everyone who loves her. To honor everyone who has been, or will be, affected by breast cancer, I created my special Calling All Sistahs collection and donate 50% of its profits to Nationalbreastcancer.org to support awareness and research programs all year long.
I love shaped cards, and this one from designer Kelly Griglione using Hope Ribbon and Ruffled Ribbon Fri-Die is truly special.
To make a shaped card using a die, you simply need to score and fold your cardstock, then lay the die over it with the folded edge just slightly under the top cutting line so that it will stay intact to create a card. Easy peasy!
Today we would love to offer one SCT reader today the Hope Ribbon stamp and coordinating die!
As you create today, please consider making an encouragement card for someone who could use a little cheering. May your ink pads stay juicy, your glitter stick only where its supposed to, and your mojo runneth over with delightful ideas!" {Hugs} Michele
Thank you so much Michele for this thoughtful prize. For an opportunity to win, be sure to leave a comment below by October 8th! One winner will be selected randomly and announced on October 10th. Good luck!
Please join Cas-ual Fridays Stamps on their Facebook page when you have a moment to offer a "thank you" for this hour's prize! Michele will love hearing from you!
Next at 8:00 pm - we want to Thank You for a fabulous day!

I survived cancer not once but TWICE!! The second time was 19 years ago! MAMMOGRAMS are key! Do not hesitate - get them done!!! Be vigilent! Cancer is scary and your world stops but you will fight and win!
If anyone has any questions or is going through this and walks to talk - I am always available!

Sadly, there are too many reasons in my life to have use of these products. They're beautiful though!

Thank you. It's uplifting to hear from survivors.

What a lovely stamp and die set. I'm sure any woman (or man) with breast cancer would appreciate a card with these sentiments.

What a wonderful stamp this is! Love those ribbon shaped cards, lovely.

I love this. Our family has had multiple members affected by breast cancer so I love that this set makes a donation to research and care. Thank you.

My husband died from lung cancer. I've been fortunate
to have avoided cancer. It's a shame that we need
the pink ribbons - would rather not need to remind
people about cancer at all since it is no longer
a problem - but that's not possible.
thanks for sharing. Keep up the good fight.
Happy WCMD

My mother died of breast cancer in 1971--before they had all the wonderful treatments they have now. I still miss her.

These are beautiful cards. I like that idea of making shaped cards with a die over a folded card.

I would love to win this prize. I recently began volunteering with my local Cancer Support Community and could use them to make cards for people who use their services. Thanks for the chance to win!

I live in a very small town and sadly many women in town have had breast cancer in the last several years! Some have beat it but too many didn't! I am a 3 time cancer survivor and so ANY type of cancer is a thing to beat! My hope is that in my lifetime this disease is beaten for ever! Would love the Breast Cancer Awareness die and stamp set to use to cheer on those who are battling it!! Thanks for the chance to!! I am so glad that you are a survivor too! <3
