Double Z Breast Cancer Survivor

 







Hello Crafty Friends,

As you all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - ladies get your mammograms!!!  For the last several years I have made cards for Breast Cancer Survivor cards choosing different recipients each year classmates, friends and co-workers.  This year I have 5 (maybe 6) I am doing and this card is the first.


My card today is a Double Z Card which is really fun and simple to create.  Susan did it on her "live" on Susan's Garden Club which can be found here.

Here are your paper cuts and score lines for card base and layers for my card.

White cardstock -  (1) 6" X (" scored at 3" and 6"

                              (1) 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3: & 6"

                              (2) 2" X 3-1/4"

Patterned Paper -  (1) 5-3/4" square

                             (2) 2-3/4" X 5-3/4"

                             (2-3/4" X 4-1/4"


Card base was assembled using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Any sentiments should be stamped before assembling. ( My Sentiment was from stamp set I got several years ago from Ellen Hutson - Essentials by Ellen Courage Stamp & Die Set.  Part of the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.)

From white cardstock oval was cut using Spellbinders Candlewick Ovals set and Radiant Oval was used for center oval.  Pattern paper was cut using just the plan oval die in Radiant Oval set then attached together.

Pink ribbon was stamped on white cardstock then die cut.  Close to My Heart Ribbon Warrior Stamp & Thin Cuts (Z4184) was used for that.  Adhered to center panel using Clear sided Double Adhesive.

Susan's Garden  Hibiscus, Oriental Lilies, Berry Branch and Ladybug were created to adorn the oval.  Susan's Specialty Paper and Deluxe Tool Kit were used to create them. Susan has  how to YouTube videos that will guide you in creating these.

I have products linked below that will take you directly to site to purchase.  Please note it is no extra cost to you it only gives me a small commission to help cover my costs.  Thanking you in advance for any thing you may decide to purchase.

Thank you for stopping by today and I truly hope I have given you inspiration to create your own card and to GO GET THOSE MAMMOGRAMS!!!

Until next time - Happy Crafting!!!

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective p...

Hello My Crafty Friends! Finally the daffodils are blooming and tulips are starting to put on buds - Spring has finally arrived here in Maine. Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed win...
