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!
This is a great idea for a card, and a great idea to send one to someone battling cancer. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

This week I learned that a good friend of mine has breast cancer. I'm still in shock. I'd love to make her cards etc with these beautiful items. Praying for all affected by cancer.

My mother had breast cancer, too and had to have a mastectomy on one breast. When she passed, she was cancer free. Thank you for offering such a nice stamp set prize.

I lost my very dear sister to breast cancer almost 5 years ago and I miss her every day :( I am so happy to hear survivor stories - you go, Michele! Thanks so much for creating this collection and contributing to this worthy cause. I pray one day that this horrible disease is eradicated.
