Suicide Prevention Card Hop using SIMON SAYS STAMP's STAMPtember die!

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.  Active listening is an important and powerful step in having an honest conversation about mental health. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported! #realconvo .  If you think someone is struggling, trust your gut. Ask directly and listen.

For today’s card, I opted to remind people to talk to someone that you feel ‘safe’ with.  Whether it’s someone at home or just makes you feel at home in their presence, being with that person can help anyone struggling with mental health issues.

This card was kep pretty simple.  Using Altenew's Mocha Crisp Die Ink with Pinkfresh's Around the Shape Arches stamp set for the center panel for the outline and sentiment, it was then die cut using the coordinating dies and mounted onto kraft cardstock.

A piece of blush cardstock from Papertrey Ink was die cut, then Pinkfresh's Stitched Octagons coverplate was used to add texture.  

Finally, using Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember die Elegant Blossom Branch to die cut white cardstock, Altenew's Blushberry Bliss and Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Sets were used to ink blend color.  The die cuts were assembled and added to the front with a few pink sequins to finish it off.

A special “Thank you” to our special guests! Today, Simeen @simeen.creates and Justin @justanotebyjustin  are joining us to share their voices and creativity to support our mission.
