5 Year Cancer-versary

Today marks a very important day in my life, so what do I do–make a card This is my cancer-versary. If you don’t know what that is, it is the anniversary of the day I received my cancer diagnosis. This is my 5th anniversary, which is the number I have been striving to reach since the day I was diagnosed.

The 5th cancer-versary is a milestone. It is worth celebrating. It is worth recognizing this is a type of graduation. I’m not sure what is my next cancer related goal? Maybe celebrate every five years NED (no evidence of disease)?

It definitely means it’s time for a card. 🙂 During my Facebook LIVE this week I created a simple version of this design.

Check out video making simple version of this card design.

For the challenges, I created a stepped up version. I added embossing to the support ribbon die, ribbon to the DSP strip. and additional embellishments. Although the sentiment still says “Congratulations,” the one on the simple version comes from a Last Chance stamp set–Flourishing Phrases. The stepped up Congratulations is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set

I tried different embossing folders with the support ribbon until I settled on Swirls & Curls. Here are pictures of additional support ribbons using Tufted Embossing Folder and Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder. Which is your favorite?

Whatever level of stamping you enjoy, this card design is for you. Make a congratulations card for someone you know celebrating a milestone cancer-versary, finishing treatment, or change the sentiment to make it appropriate for your situation.
