Simple, sweet, clean and crisp! This is my kinda card and I am super excited to share with you this week some of the cards that I will be making for Breast Cancer Patients in my area to pick them up and let them know others care! It is called the "Angel Program", more specifically a program that sends cards and inspirational notes on a weekly basis to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients!

This Wednesday is my first day and I will be making 15 cards of 6 different designs and today's post is one of them! I know 1st hand how important, special, a HUGE pick me up cards mean to people when they are ill.

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer and her 4 shorts months of being the Mom and knew and loved, to losing her to this terrible disease I witnessed 1st hand how simple gestures like sending a card makes such a difference! Over this short time frame she received over 400 cards…she loved her cards and I still have them in my home in a special bowl and often I go and read them to give me inspiration! This is a huge reason I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I knew that I wanted to give back…and I am excited to do so for our local Breast Cancer Organization!

Now to today's card…isn't it clean and cute! This butterfly stamp set, Papillion Potpourri,  has been sooooo popular with Stampin up! I thought this would be a fun pick-me-up and the Curly Cute sentiments is super fun….getting the perfect alignment was made perfect by my dear friend, Stamp-a-ma-jig…just love that plastic!

I stamped the butterfly's one Very Vanilla and the popped them out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch ! I used the 1 1/4" Square Punch to use as a backdrop to my butterfly's and then adhered them to the coordinating paper using the Scallop Square Punch! Naturally I popped them up with a couple of Stampin' Vitamin, Stampin' Dimensionals!

The Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin Ribbon gave the card a bit of interest as well as the famous knot – adhered with a simple glue dot…really brings the WOW factor to life! It would be a card of mine without lining the envelope – polka dots make me smile and I know that my Mom is smiling…as she loved lined cards and  I know that these beautiful and courageous patients will smile with an "Angel" sending them a card with a special message!

I love and appreciate your comments and emails…until tomorrow – make it a great week! I love what I do but more importantly…I love helping you!
