Matching Envelope

The Never ending card was 6x6" square so it was a given that I would have to make an envelope to fit this odd sized card. It was easily done though with Stampin'Up's Simply Scored Scoring Tool(122334) and the Diagonal(125586) plate that goes on it.

The envelope used  piece of, now retired, Berry Blossoms DSP(122350). I used the guidelines for making an envelope that came with the Scoring tool and the Diagonal Scoring Plate.
Then I created a belly band with another piece of the DSP and some Whisper White card stock that I used the, now retired, Eyelet Border punch(119853) to create the lacy edge.
On the front of the belly band I made a larger version of the flower that was on the card, you can see that post here. I used a retired fabric brad for the center of the flower and a Whisper White flower punched from the Boho Blossom punch(119858)

I also stamped Happy Birthday from the retired SAB set Elementary Elegance onto that piece of whisper white from the card, and punched out a small tag(retired) it was layered onto an extra large tag punch(119866) This was attached to the flower with a piece of Early Espresso Bakers Twine(123124)


The finished project was beautiful if I do say so myself. I was very proud of it.

I hope you have enjoyed this project!

Strength and Hope for Prostate Cancer

While doing research for my classes I found that each type of cancer has its own ribbon color. We see so much about Breast Cancer and the pink campaigns that the others seem to get left behind. This makes the set even more versatile as no matter what type of cancer someone has they need strength and hope to get through the process.
For this card I used Bashful Blue as light blue is the color for Prostate Cancer and it seems to be as prevalent among men of all ages as Breast Cancer seems to be for women.

Stamp Sets: Strength and Hope, Ribbon of Hope
Ink: Bashful Blue
Paper: Very Vanilla, Bashful Blue

Accessories: Houndstooth Embossing folder, Scallop Trim and Small and Large Tag punches, Linen Thread.

I really like the look of this card and the versatility of the set as well.

Have a great day!
