Strength & Hope Part III

This is my final post of cards made with the strength & hope stamp set.   Designer paper is Printed Petals  I  used Chocolate Chip & Baja Breeze ink for the butterfly and label.  Punches used- Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch and Decorative label punch.  A dazzling diamond and I was done!
This quick & simple card was created using white glossy cardstock, baja breeze, night of navy & riding hood red inks, added a few rhinestones and done!  When I need a card- all I have to do is choose the right sentiment. Stamp and go!  I love to make a bunch of notecards. 

For this card, I had a piece of scrap cardstock that I used for a top note die cut.  I put the negative image on a piece of glossy cardstock and sponged baja breeze & old olive inks.  Afterwards I stamped chocolate chip ink flourishes and the butterfly in night of navy.  This was another quick and easy card, that I can easily add a sentiment for most occasions.

Strength & Hope Part II

In addition to the donation Stampin' Up provides to the BCRF, what I really love about this set is it's versatility.
In this card I used it with the Ribbon of Hope Stamp.  Now this card was made with a Pink Ribbon to represent Breast Cancer but I can see changing the ribbon and color combo to represent awareness for other causes.  Change it to Red for AIDS Awareness, Purple for Domestic Violence Awareness or any other cause that may be important to you and your community. 
The message on the sentiment stamp goes a long way for just about any cause: courage, hope, believe, unity, survivor, caring, together, love, kindness, support, strength, blessed & thank you.
