Here is the original post that was posted yesterday: 

For over the past 30 years I have preformed 1000's of mammograms. I've been there to comfort women (and men) when they were scared and confused. I've held their hands during biopsies and prayed that all would have good results, but as we all know, this isn't always the case. I pray for a day when we find a cure for not just breast cancer, but all cancer. So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I made this card using the Snow Globe Shaker Domes.

WOW....Over 1700 comments or likes. I've had such an overwhelming out pouring of love over this card when I posted it on the Stampin'Up! Demonstrator Website. I feel so blessed to be part of this community! Thank you all for you kind words and willingness to share your stories. All of you are amazing women and all of you are in my prayers. I will do my best to show you how I made this card and hope it inspires you to make one too!

To make this card you'll need:

Snow Globe Scenes Dies
Hold to Hope stamp set
Bog Shot 
Subtle embossing folder
Two 2 1/2" circles (either punched or die cut) and a 3/4" x 4 1/2" strip (may need trimmed down)
Lovely Lipstick cardstock  base: 4 3/4" x 6 1/4" plus a small piece for behind greeting
Whisper White cardstock:  4 1/2"x 9" score at 4 1/2" This is the part of the card that opens.
Petal Pink cardstock: 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" (may need trimmed slightly) plus a piece to cover behind domes and a piece for the greeting.
Black 3/8" Scalloped Edge Ribbon
Lovely Lipstick 1/8" ribbon and a small brad
Glue dots

Cut the two Snow Globe Dome openings on the Petal Pink cardstock leaving about 1/2" between the domes in the middle. (Sorry, I can't show you this step by step as I borrowed the Snow Globe Scenes Dies from a friend and have already returned them.)

Adhere the Snow Globe Domes inside the die cut holes. Cut around the edges of the snow globes to create a "waist". I did cut off a little bit of the snow globe adhesive edges on the sides.  Adhere a piece of Petal Pink cardstock behind the dome openings. This piece can now be added to the front of the folded Whisper White card, then to the Lovely Lipstick matte.

To create the Bra:
Cut the 2 1/2" circles like in the picture.  

Lay the two cut circles and strip on the domes to get an idea of placement. Adhere the two cut circles to the 3/4" strip. I used white card stock to give you an idea of how it should look. You may need to trim a little of the strip off the strip.

Run your "bra" though the Big Shot using the Subtle Embossing Folder. This really makes it look like fabric.

Cut two 5" pieces of the ribbon and fold them in half. Using glue dots, add to top of bra as straps. On the back add tear tape.

Adhere ribbon around the edges of the bra allowing only the scalloped edge to show on the front. Trim ribbon to match contour of bra on the bottom.

Create a Breast Caner Awareness ribbon using a 2 1/2" of Lovely Lipstick ribbon. Attach to the bra using a small brad. Using glue dots, adhere bra to front of card and snow globe domes.  Stamp greeting and add to front of card with dimentionals.
