Challenge Title: Stand Tall
Hostess: va.sunshine aka Teresa
Keyword: HYCCT1317
Date: Thursday, October 17, 2013

I could not be happier to host a HOPE challenge again this year, touching others with my luv of creating is very near and dear to my heart!

My challenge is to "Stand Tall", make a tall/skinny card. Cancer needs to be attacked boldly, standing tall and brave; whether it is the patient or family and friends standing tall for the patient! We must stand up together against this terrible disease.

CHALLENGE: Stand Tall , make a tall card . I use a 12 x12 sheet of card stock; cut the paper 3 1/2" x 12" and fold it to be a 3 1/2" x 6" card. It fits into a business size envelope....perfect tall card!

Thank you so very much for helping, see the details below for sending in your cards.

THANK YOU to my sample makers below!

This will be fun! Since this won't fit in a plastic envelope, do you have suggestions as to how to protect it? I think I could wrap it in clear plastic wrap, but maybe you have another idea? Thanks for the fun challenge!

[muscrat]

Never mind...I saw the words "business envelope" and figured it would be too tall but if we make it 3 1/2 x 6, it should fit in one of my clear envies. I can use my envelope punch board and make an envelope to match....!

, I made one card for two challenges today, so I uploaded it earlier but have just added the keywords for this fun challenge. Thanks, Teresa. This used to be one of my favourite card formats when I first started stamping.

Teresa- great challenge! I thought some Girl Power was in order, so I used SU's Stylin' Girl for my image and sentiment, and lots of pink and green- along with red polka dot trim. Here's True Friend

[bensarmom]

Teresa, this was a fun challenge. I rarely leave A2 size cards. Now I have another option that fits into an envelope I have in the house! Thanks. Here's my card .

I don't know why I never thought of making this card size. It was fun.

[Crafty Julia]

Teresa- love the idea of a tall card- thought this patchwork treatment with stamped hearts and gems suited the shape. Used SU's Patches mini set from 1997 thanks to my SCS friend Diane. Added some gems for fun. Here's Patriotic Happy Birthday

[T. Joy]

I had so much fun with this card! I used some stamps and supplies that I won in a Gina K challenge on Stamp TV. Aren't gingham bows BEE-utiful?? ;)
