Suicide Precvention Card Hop with GINA K!

Hi all,

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention Card Hop. During Suicide Prevention Week, we aim to spread messages of hope and support. We encourage friends, co-workers, and loved ones to use the resources shared this week to help those in need. If you're struggling, please contact #988 for 24/7 support via call or text.

Together, we can help #StopSuicide. We can find support and hope by having honest conversations with one another. #realconvo.  If you think someone is struggling, trust your gut. Ask directly and listen.

Today I have the honor of participating in this hop with the fantabulous Gina Krupsky of Gina K Designs!  I had the opportunity to meet her at the CREATE event this year and she is adorable as well as talented!  I hope I can live up to her...

This tri-fold card was created using Altenew's Billowing Peonies set.  I probably should have used a Gina K product, but I created this card before I knew she was participating... Since I'm out of town currently and had to make these in advance, I couldn't whip up a new one.  Sorry Gina!

The image was stamped and stenciled twice, once using the Botanical Brilliance Fresh Dye Inks from Altenew lightly, then again with a heavier application.  Using the lighter florals for the background, helps to make the foreground flowers stand out along with the sentiment added over them.

The foreground florals were die cut using the coordinating die along with the front panel of the tri-fold card.  The second panel has the lighter florals and the hidden inside sentiment stamped in the bottom corner along with the die cut sentiment you can see from the front of the card.

A special “Thank you” to our special guests! Today, Gina Krupsky @ginakdesigns and Aditi Mahajan @addi.mahajan are joining us to share their voices and creativity to support our mission.
