Hello! Hello! Happy Thursday to you all!!!!! Laurel Beard here today bringing you our next Mix It Up Challenge!!!! This month's Mix It Up challenge is very special as we are mixing it up with ourselves! Remember the amazing Courage stamp set and die we launched last month to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation? We thought now would be a perfect time to show off all those projects you created using the stamp set and die!
Before I share some beautiful inspiration, let's first congratulate the randomly selected participant from our last Pin-Sights Challenge. Remember, YOU could win a $50 gift certificate to the Ellen Hutson store just by playing along. Our randomly selected participant (courtesy of random.org) is: Michele Ferguson! Congratulations! Please email me at laurelbeard at me dot com to claim your prize!
Inspiration time!!! Check out all of these beautiful projects from our design team and some of our very good friends! (To see more info about each card, just click on the image!)
I am also delighted to share a project and video I made using the gorgeous Courage stamp set and die. This stamp is a floral layering stamp set and I'll be honest with you. Most layering sets intimidate me. I feel inadequate using them. But NOT the case with this one. These images are incredibly easy to line up (with or without the MISTI) and the sentiments in this set..... So encouraging and uplifting. I created a cluster of stamped layered floral images underneath the ribbon die and added foiling without using heat.
And the video... You can watch right here on the blog or over on Laurel's youtube channel by clicking HERE.
There are still some Courage stamp/die sets available. $25 of the proceeds goes directly towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Just a $25 donation funds half an hour of research as we work to prevent and cure breast cancer. However, there are other ways you can join the cause. To check out the campaign and read more about it, please go HERE!
