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:

• Wandering Thanks and Appreciation
  
• Razzleberry vs. Red
  
• Fall Frolic Day #4

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• "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!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Baroque Motifs Stamp Set (113490), Wellness Wishes Stamp Set (115356), Basic Black Classic Ink (109120), Kraft 12 x 12 Cardstock (107070), Groom Specialty Paper (116478), Real Red Cardstock (102482), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Neutral 5/16" Brads (112534), Neutral 5/8" Brads (112533), Real Red 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (109052), Corner Rounder (109047), Paper Piercing Tool (116631) and Mat Pack (105826)

Puttin’ on the GLITZ!

I made this card a little over week ago when mostly all of my inkpads were packed away and ready to go for our big Christmas Bonanza Event (yes, pictures are still coming soon!). I wanted to make a card, but had not much in the way of ink to work with! So I busted out my Sticky Pages and Glitter – the inkless way to make a card and this is what I came up with:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Colored Glitter can me messy business – be sure to invest in our Powder Pal set for easy clean up! Work over the tray and use the Static Free Brush to help you usher your leftover glitter back into it's home.
• Make your sentiments pop with Embossing Powders! Here, I used Silver EP.
• Don't be afraid to combine embellishments. For the center of the flower, I used Flower Fusions, a Pretties Kit, Filigree Brads and a Rhinestone Brad. They all came in separate kits, but still complemented one another well!
• The Sticky Cuts come in such a way that you have the option of pulling layers apart to have more images, or using them together and peeling away the top protective sheet one by one for multicolored images.

Here's a look at what comes in this Sticky Cut Sweet set:

One of the nice things about shopping through my online store, is that when you select a product that you're intersted in, you get a nice little list of additional products that pair nicely with the product your intersted in. Here's a look at the suggestions that came up when I selected the Sticky Cut Sweets shown above:

WHAT TO ORDER:

Sticky Cuts Sweet (114301), Fine Cosmo Stampin' Glitter (108796), Fine Supernova Stampin' Glitter (114287), On Your Birthday Stamp Set (111664), Chocolate Chip Cardstock (102128), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Pumpkin Pie Cardstock (105117), Filigree Designer Brads (112577), Pretties Kit (109114), Circle Ice Rhinestone Brads (109111), Flower Fusion (110720), Whisper White Satin Ribbon (114616), Powder Pals (102197), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), VersaMark Pad (102283), Embossing Buddy (103083), Heat Tool (100005) and Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder (109131)

Polka Dot Birthday Wishes!

One of our baby sitter's birthday was on Halloween, so I had to make her a Birthday Card! Her favorite colors are pink and brown, so that's what I worked with. We haven't given her the card yet… but I'm sure she'll love it!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The Pretty in Pink button was made a little more playful by punching out a Melon Mambo circle from the Crop-A-Dile and adhering it in the center with a Mini Glue Dot! FUN!
• To make the background "pop" just a little more, I punched out several 1" Circles from the same cardstock (Chocolate Chip Textured) and adhered them all over the card. Tone on Tone accents can be just the right little extra something sometimes!
• Crystal Effects has done it again! I think I've used this medium in about every other card posted lately. My point has been made – it's just an awesome extra somethin' somethin'! Add it to your next order, you'll love it!
• A 2-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds is what gives the candle flame it's "bling!"

WHAT TO ORDER:

On a Pedestal Stamp Set (113814), Melon Mambo Classic Ink (115656), Melon Mambo Cardstock (115320), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker (100045), Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker (100071), Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad (100908), Earth Elements Textured 12×12 Cardstock (108697), Melon Mambo 1/2" Polka Dot Ribbon (115611), 1" Circle Punch (109046), Scallop Edge Punch (112091), 2-Way Glue Pen (100425), Dazzling Diamonds Glitter (102023), Sherbet Buttons (116312), Crop-A-Dile (108362), Mini Glue Dot (103683), Crystal Effects (101055) and Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)

The FINAL Day of the Stamp Out Breast Cancer Campaign!

Today is the LAST DAY of the "Stamp Out Breast Cancer" Campaign! This means that it's the LAST DAY of Cards of Hope, the LAST DAY to submit your story, the LAST DAY to order the Card Kits for a Cure, the LAST DAY to help the site hit 3,000 views and the LAST DAY to place orders that support the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Foundation and orders that qualify for a FREE Pink Ribbon Sampler!

"On April 1, 2002 – April Fools Day — I discovered a lump on my right breast. However, this was not a joke. I went through the motions one goes through before the actual diagnosis: the biopsy, the waiting, and then the dreaded news, "You've got breast cancer!" As I prayed that evening, after I received the news that my life has forever been changed, I received these words, which became my mantra: "Your body has cancer, not your mind or spirit." Throughout the arduous journey I kept repeating this and trusting that God, who is a loving Father, would carry me through and for five years He has been there every step of the way.

I share my mantra with my breast cancer "sisters" and I pray that you will persevere on this journey and recognize God's grace.

Here's a look at today's Card of Hope:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This card also allows the fabulous Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder to add some glitz and glamour! It was used on the Dotted Background – for more information on using Iridescent Ice EP, be sure to read yesterday's Helpful Hints!
• Crystal Effects is what allows this ribbon to "pop" so much, giving it a shinny lacquered look.
• Tying one ribbon around another is a fabulous way to finish off tag toppers for an "out of the box" look – here I mixed two very different ribbons, taffeta and polka dot grosgrain, and it works! Don't be afraid to mix and match.

WHAT TO ORDER:

Hope Happens Stamp Set (113722), Ribbon of Hope Stamp (115552), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Pretty in Pink Cardstock (100459), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Regal Rose Cardstock (105130), Melon Mambo Textured Cardstock (115719), Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon (109067), Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (115611), Pewter Jumbo Eyelets (108432), Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (101930), Heat Tool (100005), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), VersaMark Pad (102283), Tag Corner Punch (107215), Scallop Edge Punch (112091), Crop-A-Dile (108362), and Crystal Effects (101055)
