AFFECTION COLLECTION in pink

Hi Stampers!

Happy Tuesday and welcome to my blog!

October is --among other things-- Breast Cancer Awareness month.  And pink ribbons everywhere remind us to be sure and have our yearly check up and mammogram. Early detection makes treatment so much better and easier.  Did you know that breast cancer is not a "women's" disease?  Though not in as high a number, it can occur in men as well; so be sure to encourage the guys in your life to get checked out regularly as well.

In recognition of those battling this disease,  let's make another pink card!  It's super simple and oh-so-nice!

To make this card, you will need:

• Affection Collection stamp set
• Primrose Petals, Whisper White, Basic Black card stock
• Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petals, Midnight Muse, Basic Black ink pads
• Scallop Edge Border punch
• Paper snips, Snail/other adhesive, stapler

I love the collage effect and "Affection Collection" makes it easy to pull off.  And do you see that cute little banner-- very trendy!  You can find this stamp set and other wonderful products in our Holiday catalog, available only through January 2, 2013.  Don't have one?  Contact me today.

Affectionately yours,
Trish

FOLLOWING the TRAIL of PINK

 Hi Stampers,
Welcome back to my blog.

Ooo, a cute little Kraft Gift Box has landed on my page! Just perfect for some chocolate to be hiding in.  That paper bow was made with Primrose Petals card stock and finished off with a faceted button (new this year, very vintage - very trendy!) and matched up Primrose Petals stitched ribbon.  Those "spots" were made using versamark ink and the left over rubber from stamps in the Daydream Medallion set.

Hmm, wonder what's inside........ Oh , I hope it's chocolate! These boxes are food-safe, after all.

What a clever way to wrap with the ribbon, leaving the box easy to open, close, and reuse.
 Oh, please let it be chocolate.

Cute 3" square cards and matching envelopes!  Not chocolate, but a sweet surprise nevertheless, made with the Daydream Medallions and Affection Collection stamp sets and some of our dreamy in-colors.
