Motif Prayers

The 3rd Thursday of every month I meet with ladies at our church for a "Card Ministry" Evening. We get together to make cards for the card rack at the church for the congregation to use to send to one another for prayer and encouragement. Here's one of the two cards that we made a bunch of this month:

This card showcases for you two products that are included in Holiday Extravaganza Sale Bundles and also on sale Individually! That is our 5/8" and 5/16" Neutral Brad Assortments. Here's what these assortments look like and the special 30% off pricing that's available on them only through November 30th!

Here's a look at the three bundles all priced at 30% off that include one of these sets of brads in each addition to a stamp set. The Pendant Note and Fresh Cut Bundles also each include an assortment of Laser Cut Notecards and Envelopes!

Here are links to some other cards I've done recently that use these Neutral Brads:

"Groom Specialty Paper" is not just for weddings! I've used this delicious black foil on black paper for everything from Halloween to Get Well. It's just the perfect tone on tone black paper that holds so much versatility!
This card is a 6" x 3" Card – it fits perfectly in our Small Open End Envelopes, and is just the right size to hold a check or money. This particular card came from a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock and was cut 12" x 3" so it folded the long way. You can also cut 6" x 6" squares from 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock, but you'll save the most using 12" x 12", getting 4 cards to a sheet of cardstock.
The Neutral Brad "prongs" are pretty hefty – be sure to use a Paper Piercer and Mat Pack to set them with ease!

Stamp Out Breast Cancer Day #3!

"Hello all. I am a breast cancer survivor and it's been 14 years this December. I want to encourage all to have HOPE and to stay POSITIVE. I did lots of praying to GOD, which is and was very, very important to my survival. I try to come on as much as possible to help others. I have heart problems from the chemo but I'm doing GOOD. The treatments helped me to survive this long (Praise The Lord) so it may be rough now, but trust me it does get better if you believe and stay strong and POSITIVE. God bless us all."

Do you have a story? Share your story by leaving a comment to this post. At the end of this campaign, I will select one story at random to receive a FREE "Ribbon of Hope" Stamp ($9.45 value). "Your" story can be your own personal story or a story of someone you know or once knew. Here's a look at the free stamp:

Today's Card of Hope will be using this "Ribbon of Hope" Stamp – the stamp that is also featured in the first Card Kit for a Cure!

And here's a look at the "Hope Happens" Stamp Set that I'm using throughout this online campaign – it's really a super one! Be sure to add it to your order at my online store today so that 10% of the order will get donated to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

Creating a file folder tag look for your greeting is an easy way to bring some interest to your sentiment – just use a Corner Rounder at the edges!
Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive is just the adhesive you need to adhere these little beads.
Having a hard time getting the bead where you want it? Moisten your finger tip and just press your finger on the bead you need – the moisture will hold it in place on your finger until it meets adhesive – no need to actually grab!
Ribbon Silders from the Hodgepodge Hardware set make the perfect accent for Narrow Grosgrain Ribbon.
The Groom Specialty Paper isn't just fro weddings! It's delicous for any card you want to to give some extra pizzaz.
