Love & Courage in Every Layer: A Card for a Friend’s Journey

Today’s card comes from a place of compassion and creative intention, using the Love & Courage stamp set.

As probably many of us have been touched by cancer in one way or another, whether a friend, family member, co-worker or even yourself…courage means so much to those who have it, and possibly even more to those who need it.

I crafted this card for a friend who’s facing a tough chapter. The layered textures, stitched accents, and Pretty in Pink palette are more than design choices—they’re symbols of support, hope, and the quiet power of friendship.

DOstamping Tips: 

• For the focal point, lay the mounted image on your workspace, face up. Use the black and Pretty in Pink ink pads to carefully ink up each side.
• After stamping on 3-1/2″ white piece, I found I wanted the pink side to be filled in a little bit more. So I used the Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends to add more depth. Then die cut with largest Stylish Shapes Dies circle.
• Fold 4″ of ribbon into shape (as shown) and adhere behind sentiment.

Making a Difference with Every Stamp 💕

With every purchase of the Love & Courage stamp set., Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to support the fight against breast cancer around the world. It’s a small way we can spread love and make a big impact.

Let’s craft with purpose this holiday season. Together, we can lift hearts and help fund life-saving research—one card at a time.
