October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I've created two cards that could be used to encourage someone who is affected by this terrible disease.
The cut outs for this card come from the Close To My Heart You Are Here cartridge. The girl is "Shopping Trip" minus the bag and the sentiment is "You've Got This". I made a panel in design space to represent the front of the card 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but didn't actually cut it out. I sized the girl and sentiment to fit in the card front aesthetically. I cut the girl out of black cardstock, You've Got out of Pixie cardstock and This out of Raspberry cardstock. I used the Adventure and Whimsy Fundamental Paper Packs for the patterned paper.
The background pieces were cut as follows:
3" X 5 3/8" Black
2 7/8" X 5 1/4" Raspberry Heart (Adventure)
1 1/8" X 5 3/8" Black
15/16" X 5 1/4" Love (Whimsy)
I matted the patterned paper onto the black cardstock and adhered them to the white card front which I got from the Value Pack Cards and Envelopes. I used Tombow permanent tape runner to adhere my papers.
I adhered the girl to the front using the Dual Action Glue Pen. I adhered the ribbon to the girl as well with the Dual Action Glue Pen.
I cut about 1 1/4" of the 1/4" 3-D Foam Tape and cut it in half lengthwise. I adhered one piece to the top and another to the bottom of the back of the "this" banner. I adhered the banner to the You've Got piece. I adhered that to the front of the card with the Dual Action Glue Pen.
I put liquid glass over the ribbon to add some shine. I left the inside of the card blank.
To make this card I cut the ribbon from the Close To My Heart Artistry cartridge using Pixie Cardstock and Raspberry Cardstock. I glued the two pieces together using the Dual Action Glue Pen.
I cut a circle out of Daisy White Cardstock and stamped the words "don't ever give up" in the center. That sentiment comes from the Stronger Together stamp set. That is a limited time stamp set from Close To My Heart and was developed to raise money for disaster relieve after the recent hurricanes in Florida and Texas. All of the profits from this stamp set go to the Red Cross. All of the sentiments in the set are terrific for encouraging someone. So they were perfect for Breast Cancer support cards.
I cut the following cardstocks to layer on the front of a card panel:
2 5/8" X 5 3/8" Black
2 1/2" X 5 1/4" Words (Adventure)
1 3/8" X 5 3/8" Black
1 1/4 X 5 1/4" Polka Dot (Adventure)
After attaching the layered panels to the card front, I added 3-D Foam Tape to the back of the ribbon and adhered it to the larger panel. I taped the word circle to the center of the ribbon with Tombow permanent tape runner.
I cut a piece of black paper with the Scallop Border Thin Cuts and adhered it with the Dual Action Glue Pen to the smaller panel to add some interest. I left the inside of the card blank.
