ELLEN HUTSON COURAGE – BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

I could not let October end without creating a Breast Cancer Awareness card. For the card, I used the Ellen Hutson Courage Stamp and Die set, which was made especially to benefit breast cancer research. Twenty-five dollars of each purchase of the stamp set will be sent to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Being a breast cancer survivor, I was happy to contribute to the Foundation through my purchase. Here is my card.

1 Corinthians 12:4-9

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit…”

Hello, crafters!! Today is the Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS397, on Splitcoaststampers. Because Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October, the challenge is to include a pink ribbon on a project. I used the retired Stampin’ Up! (SU) Ribbon of Hope stamp on my card.

The card is simple to make and can be replicated just by viewing it. I used a Tim Holtz Thinlits Die to cut the corner of the front panel. I used the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Grace’s Strength stamp for the sentiment, which I stamped in the retired SU Lavender Lace Classic Ink (I love this color). Using SU Elegant Eggplant card stock, I cut out the word, “Hope”, from ODBD Faith, Hope & Love Dies.

If you are or have dealt with breast cancer, this card is in honor of you! God bless you!! I was on this journey several years back and can relate to the evil disease and its treatment.
