Skin Cancer Awareness Hop

Today's card for a Instagram hop that I am participating in to raise the awareness of skin cancer.  

Did you know??

* 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.

* Skin cancer/melanoma is the leading cause of cancer death.

* Having 5 or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma.

* When detected early, the 5-year survival rate for melanoma is 99 percent.

* More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined.

To make this card, I started with a white side folding A2 card base and a white panel.  I used the beachscape stencils by The Ton Stamps along with a sentiment by Hero Arts.

These stencils are fun to use with the many layers.

Hope over to instagram and check out the hop because there are prizes.

Memorial Day is right around the corner so I decided to make a card for the grill master.  This set by Dare 2B Artzy also makes a great Father's Day card as well. It's a nice set to add to your stash. 

To make this card, I started with a top folding A2 card base and a panel of patterned paper from the Countryside Floral Collection.

I stampd the images on a seperate piece of paper, colored them and cut them out with the coordinating die. The sentiment I stacked the layers to give it dimension.

Natures Canvas

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS.  Our hostess is Vicki D and she choose the code word Birthday. 

I can always use birthday cards in my stash.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel.  I cut the panel down with this gorgeous die by Emily Moore Designs, I stamped the floral image from the Nature's Canvas kit by Taylored Expressions and colored it using the coordinating stencil.

The greeting is also by Taylored Expressions. 

Nature's Canvas

Today's card is uses the perforated paper from Taylored Expressions. I have been wanting to give this paper a try and use the Nature's canvas kit that I got back in March and haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. 

I started with a white top folding card base, a panel of Pebble (C9) cardstock and a panel of the Perforated paper. This paper is made to look like cross stitch cloth and it certainly does. I created a faux cross stitch panel but I tell ya this paper is super thick and if you wanted, you could actually use floss. 

If you decide to do a faux stitching, you will need a Misti to stamp on it.

I stamped the floral image and used the coordinating stencils to color it. 

I had originally stamped the greeting directly on the paper but didn't care for that look so I restamped it on regular cardstock and placed it over the one I stamped.

I stamped the fox from the Folk Animals set on a seperate piece of cardstock, colored it and then cut it out with the coordinating die. To finish the card I added a sentiment from the Here for You bundle.
