We are Flip-Flopping it for Breast Cancer Awareness

We had so much fun last month doing our Unity/Ippity design team flip-flop 

that we have decided to do it EVERY MONTH!!! 

How fun is that?!?!

AND...

add to that today's theme... encouragement/breast cancer awareness projects. 

It's simply a fabulous combination for a fantastic HIP HOP!!!

*************

This is kind of a card...hehe! How about that for definite?!  The base for this pseudo-card was a file folder that I bought off the Target $ spot. I trimmed the folder so that it would be more the width of a card, but left it at full folder length so that I could crease and fold up the bottom to form pockets inside.

 I envision this project going to someone who is going through some medical treatments and would probably tuck hot cocoa/tea bags inside as well as a bookmark to help on days when they were feeling a little "off" from treatments.

I used two different Ippity kits for this project and a whole LOT of punches/diecuts.

Supplies used:

*Ippity Because of You (flower)

*Ippity Just Wanted to Say (frame and sentiment)

*Breast Cancer awareness file folder from Target

*Making Memories paper collection

*Nestabilities Lacey Circles and Labels die cuts

*watercolor pencils

*Martha Stewart border punch

*ribbon

*StazOn Jet black inked

*flatback gems

And yes, it is Ippity day on the blog here, but OMG...did you see????

Jillibean Soup and Unity are pairing up for some new co-branded stamps!!!! LOVE!

So I simply had to play a little bit with the stamps...

For this card, I combined two of the new kits, Jolly Good Fun (snowman circle and sentiment) and Countdown to Christmas (large circle.)

Super easy...just a touch of watercolor pencil highlights on the snowman and some circle punching/cutting and it's a MUCH simpler Christmas card than it appears (that is my FAVORITE kind of card to send out...the ones that look like I spent way more time on them than I actually did! shhhh, don't tell my recipients!)

Supplies used:

*Unity Stamp Co. - Jillibean Soup: Jolly Good Fun

*Unity Stamp Co. - Jillibean Soup: Countdown to Christmas

*K&Company Christmas Collection

*various circle punch/die cutting methods

*Martha Stewart border punch

*buttons

*eyelet trim

*twine from The Twinery

*watercolor pencils
