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.

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.

If you would like to join us in our next blog hop, you can click on the pictures above to buy the products used on my card.
