CAS-ual Fridays Stamps: Calling All Sistah's "Remind a Sistah" Blog Hop

It is August 17th and you know what that means? It is a Calling All Sistah's Blog Hop sponsored by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!!! For the blog hop, you should be arriving from Susan White's Blog.

I cannot believe it is the middle of August already. This summer has gone by too fast for me. Unlike some mothers', I am not ready for school to start. Since I work in a school, school starting means my vacation is over too!!

Today the Calling All Sistah's Blog Hop is a little bit different. We were all challenged to design a card to "Remind a Sistah" to either check themselves monthly OR a card to remind a friend to make their yearly mammogram appointment.  (This is something I need to do for myself so this hop was a great reminder for me too!!) Who doesn't appreciate a nice reminder-especially a home made card?

Please be sure to comment on each blog as there will be 3 winners randomly chosen for $15 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps gift codes from the blogs on the hop. If you get lost, just hop on over to the CAS-ual Friday Blog to get the full list of participants.

I chose to create a card to remind a friend to make their mammogram appointment.

I knew what I wanted to do right away once I saw the theme. I started by using my Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter to die cut a t-shirt out of watercolor patterned paper. I stamped a phrase from the "Calling All Sistahs" stamp set onto the front with black ink.

I then die cut a white tag using CAS-ual Fridays "Tag Buddies Fri-dies" and stamped the first part of the sentiment with "Raspberry Jam" in and the second part in black.

I used a heart embossing folder to dry embossed a piece of pink card and mounted this over an A2, top folding card that complimented the patterned paper t-shirt. Next I cut the top part off the tag and adhered the remainder to the top of the pink, embossed card stock.

I used foam adhesive to adhere the t-shirt and layered paper flowers over the collar, using a mini sequin for the center. My last step was to randomly adhere sequins in a diagonal down the front.

The next person on the hop is Vicky Dutcher.

July Calling all Sistahs Blog Hop

It is the 17th of the month of July and what does that mean? It is time for the "Sistahood Blog Hop" over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. This blog hop takes place every month on the 17th to support breast cancer awareness. Remember girls, make sure you check yourself monthly and get those mammograms!!

You should have come here from Lydia Evans Blog. If at any time you get lost along the way, just go back to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for the list of links.

I created a card with a technique that I saw over at Jennifer McGuire's blog. It was to create a pattern with smaller stamps around a focal point. 

I used CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Girlfriend" set and stamped an abundance of flowers in three different pinks around a sentiment from the "Calling all Sistahs" stamp set.

After the stamped panel was mounted onto a pink, top folded A2 card base with adhesive foam, I used Glossy Accents and pink Stickles to jazz up the inside of the flowers. 

A really simple and FUN card to create.

June Calling all Sisters Blog Hop

It is the 17th of the month of June and what does that mean? It is time for the "Sistahood Blog Hop" over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. You should have come here from Lori's Blog.

I created this simple card using CAS-ual Fridays "Calling All Sistahs" stamp and a Heidi Swapp stencil. 

I die cut a piece of white card stock with a stitched rectangle die and used a Heidi Swapp polka dot stencil to blend Ranger Distress Ink in "Spun Sugar" and Lawn Fawn's "Plastic Flamingo" pink ink. I then stamped "girl" over the stenciled area in Ranger "Archival Black" ink. I adhered it to a pink A2 card base.

Next I die cut three white tags using CAS-ual Fridays "Tag Buddies" Fri-dies. I stamped the pink part of the sentiment in Lawn Fawn's "Plastic Flamingo" pink ink, the black with Ranger "Archival Black" and used adhesive foam to adhere the tags to the card front. 

The last step was to use CAS-ual Fridays "Fun Fetti" Fri-Dies to cut out some silver circles and adhere them randomly over the white tags. 

This card is so simple but I ADORE how it came out!!

Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop

It is the 17th of the month of May and what does that mean? It is time for the "Sistahood Blog Hop" over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. You should have come here from Archana's Blog.

I created a simple card using the "Hope Ribbon" CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Set and the "Hope" CAS-ual Fridays Fri-Die to create my card.

I stamped the ribbon in Versamark ink onto white card stock and embossed it using Zing "Grapefruit Pink"embossing powder. I used an craft knife and a bowl to create the curve at the bottom of the white card panel and then mounted it using foam adhesive over an embossed pink card base.

I then used Stickles in "Fruit Punch" to add some sparkle inside the hearts.

While the hearts were drying, I die cut the hope sentiment out of pink card stock four times and glued them together to give it some dimension. I then adhered it to the front of the card.

My last step was to adhere the sentiment with foam adhesive that I stamped in black onto a white card stock strip.
