New Year, New Hope
It’s a new year full of new hope! If you’re new here, welcome! I’m so glad to have you here. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve likely noticed a long period of inactivity from me. Last spring, I had a relapse with my leukemia. It was disheartening, infuriating, scary, and so much more. I underwent a stem cell transplant this summer and have been focused on recovery these past several months. The last couple of months I’ve been seeing a lot of improvement. It’s been such great therapy to be able to create again!
When Stampin’ Up! released the Love & Courage Stamp Set in the September - December Mini Catalog, I knew I had to get it. If you’ve been lucky enough to not yet have been touched by cancer—either yourself, a loved one, or a friend—you are quite fortunate. It seems that once you are touched by it, it becomes a snowball effect and you know way too many people who have been affected by it.
While Stampin’ Up! created the Love & Courage Stamp Set specifically for breast cancer, I believe it perfect for any type of cancer. I also believe that everyone should own a stamp set like this one. Because the truth is, you likely will be impacted by this disease at some point if you haven’t already been. Here are 3 reasons you should get this stamp set:
If/when you or someone you know is diagnosed with cancer, it’s important to show your support. This set helps you create a meaningful card to show you care. It also has great gratitude sentiments for expressing thanks to those supporting you in your battle.
With each purchase of the Love & Courage Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to support the fight against breast cancer around the world.
Right now, it's discounted as they prepare to retire it. So not only can you save some money on it, you can still get it before it’s gone for good.
I’m looking forward to sharing lots of creativity with you now that I’m feeling stronger each day. For me 2026 truly is a new year filled with new hope!
