Every year Stampin' Up! creates a product to be part of the Making A Difference Campaign, this year it is the Love & Courage stamp set. The stamp set was designed to honor those fighting breast cancer, with a bold sunflower image and caring sentiments. This set can be adapted for anyone fighting cancer. Stampin' Up! will donate $3 to breast cancer organizations for each stamp set sold. Look at page 4 of the September - December 2025 Mini Catalog for more information. Saturday, we created this card using this stamp set. It is a simple flap fold card and using a Stamparatus makes creating the center image easy.
