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!"

"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.

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.

Stamp Out Breast Cancer Day #6!
"I learned that for some of us, our recovery will involve being helped by others, and for some it will involve helping others. Some won't want anybody to know, while others will show and describe all that we have been through. And no matter what, it is all okay. It's okay to be afraid, to cry, to yell, to laugh; it's all okay. It's been two years and I have never felt so blessed, loved, and believe it or not, lucky. It has taught me that it can always be worse and that there is always a blessing to be counted. I have found that there is a sisterhood out there and I am part of it. I am a part of this strong and wonderful group of women that I can count on and they can count on me too. I am so honored to be a part of this. I am blessed.

Here's a look at today's Card of Hope:
ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:
- How is this card so wonderfully shimmery? With Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, that's how! This fabulous must have is basically clear EP mixed with glitter. Use it like any other EP — stamp your image in VersaMark, sprinkle on the powder, and heat with a Heat Tool! Using this medium even allows the glitter to be more mess free, sticking in with the EP much more than if you used glue.
- To add Iridescent Ice EP to the butterfly and torn cardstock edge — simply use your VersaMark Inkpad as it's own stamp, directly pressing the pad to cardstock!
- A simple white border around the edge of the card allows the images to all pop a little more, with a color scheme like this, you need the white to brighten things up!
WHAT TO ORDER:
Hope Happens Stamp Set (113722), Baroque Motif Stamp Set (113490), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Pretty in Pink Cardstock (100459), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Regal Rose Cardstock (105130), Rose Red Cardstock (102544), Groom Specialty Paper (116478), Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon (115605), Clear Rhinestone Brads (113144), Vintage Brads 109109), Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (101930), Heat Tool (100005), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), VersaMark Pad (102283), Mat Pack (105826), Paper Piercing Tool (116631), Stampin' Up!

Fall Frolic Day #4
.jpg)
Welcome to Day #4 of the Fall Frolic Event! Today I’m going to share with you what is probably one of my favorite cards I’ve designed this year. I just love how it came out! This card all started with me not knowing what to do with these leaves. I loved the set, and used it for the September Card Kit of the Month, but I don’t usually work with smaller images that don’t have as much of a focal point. I liked how they lined up with the circle punch, though – and the card evolved from there!
And if you haven’t checked out this week’s Deal of the Week yet, the green library clip used on the lower middle circle is part of this week’s special! The 1/2" Library Clips are on sale for just $3.99! Check them out along with the other accessories on sales this week only:
ALY’S HELPFUL HINTS:
- For a blocked look, try creating a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" square card – you’ll start with a 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" piece of cardstock, and when you’re done, Stampin’ Up! has wonderful quality envelopes to coordinate!
- One of the things that makes this card so delightful is having a different accessory attached to each circle – it keeps things unique and exciting. Don’t be afraid to try a wide array of combinations, it’s what keeps your cards interesting!
- Take your cards to new "heights" with Stampin’ Dimensionals — I never make a card without them! This card uses them on each and every circle – don’t they just "pop"!?
- The Corner Rounder gives a crisp and neat look to the edges of your cards.
- These stamped images have a weathered look from being stamped on Very Vanilla Textured Cardstock.
WHAT WAS USED:
Falling Leaves Stamp Set (115368), Dusty Durango Cardstock (115321), Dusty Durango Classic Ink (115654), Crushed Curry Classic Ink (115659), Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink (115658), Neutrals Textured Cardstock (108693), Chocolate Chip Cardstock (102128), Old Olive Classic Ink (102277), Chocolate Chip Classic Ink (100908), 1/2" Library Clips (112581), Clips Assortment (112580), Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware (112454), 5/16" Neutral Brads (112534), Earth Elements Brads (106955), Chocolate Chip Corduroy Buttons (114339), Button Latte (114333), Playground Buttons (116313), Rich Razzleberry 1/2" Polka Dot Ribbon (115613), Crushed Curry 1/2" Polka Dot Ribbon (115614), Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (111368), Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (111367), Paper Piercing Tool (116631), Mat Pack (105826), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Corner Rounder (109047), 1 3/8" Circle Punch (104401) and 1 1/4" Circle Punch (104403)
