Fight Cancer Greeting Cards: Warrior Women

February 4th marks World Cancer Day, a time to unite in the fight against cancer, to raise awareness, and to honor those whose lives have been touched by this disease.

I’ve poured my heart into my latest work featured on our Fight Cancer Greeting Cards, inspired by the extraordinary strength, resilience, and unwavering determination of the warrior women who have fought cancer — my friends, my family and countless others whose stories of courage have left me in awe.

There are so many different types of cancer that deserve awareness and support—each one a devastating battle for those it touches. But for me, breast cancer is the unrelenting asshole that keeps impacting me and the people I love. It’s a thief that takes so much, and yet, the women I know who’ve faced it are some of the most courageous, inspiring people I’ve ever met.

This small collection is designed to celebrate and honor the strong women in our lives. These cards are a tribute to the beauty that radiates from within — proof that we don’t need boobs or hair to be beautiful.

My First Friend in Texas

Warrior Woman Inspiration

When I was 12 years old and moving to Texas from Michigan, Missy was the very first person to befriend me. Middle school is tough, but Missy made everything better.

She welcomed me with open arms, and her friendship has been a constant in my life ever since. Over the years, she’s been one of my biggest supporters and loudest cheerleaders, always there to lift me up with her amazing energy and love.

The Bald and The Beautiful

Now, Missy is fighting cancer for the second time.

This time, she’s faced more challenges — including losing her hair — but something she never loses is her faith. Her attitude is nothing short of inspiring. Despite the hardships, she’s been an example to all who know her, handling everything with such grace and strength.

Missy, this beautiful Sugarluxe Girl is inspired by you.

And it’s for every woman who has ever stepped into the ring with cancer, whether for themselves or alongside someone they love.

Send a Message of Love and Support

This World Cancer Day, (and actually, every day) let’s celebrate the amazing women in our lives.

Let’s honor their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs. Whether it’s through a card, a call, or simply holding space for their journey, let’s remind them how much they mean to us.

Missy, you have my whole heart.

You’re a shining example of what it means to face adversity with courage and grace, and I’m endlessly proud to call you my forever friend.

To all the warrior women out there:

You are seen, you are loved, and you are beautiful — inside and out.

FIGHT CANCER Greeting Cards

Our Fight Cancer Greeting Cards are hopefully more than just cards — they’re designed with my decades long personal style of creating art with messages of love, support, and empowerment.

They’re for the survivors, the fighters, and the ones who never stop cheering from the sidelines.

I hope you find the design to be perfect for sending a heartfelt message to the women who inspire you, who refuse to let cancer define them, and who remind us all of the power of hope.

Giving Back to the Fight

I’m proud to share that a portion of the proceeds from the Fight Cancer greeting cards will go to The Pink Fund.

This incredible organization provides financial support to breast cancer patients, covering essential non-medical expenses like housing, transportation, and utilities, so they can focus on healing.

The card displays a stylized portrait of a woman with brown skin, large eyes, long eyelashes, and a bald head, wearing a pink boxing glove. Behind her is a pink heart on a blue background, with white stars and flower-like designs. The card reads "Your Strength is inspiring" in pink and white script. Situated to the left are two vintage-style stamps with hummingbirds and a pink pencil with "FIGHT CANCER" in gold lettering. The card sits on a slightly larger pink envelope. To the right is a pair of black modern scissors and a small pink bow sticker.

Has Breast Cancer Impacted You or Someone You Love?

Prevalence

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, affecting approximately 1 in 8 women in their lifetime.
In the United States, it is estimated that over 297,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 55,700 cases of non-invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in 2024.

Mortality Rates

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the U.S., after lung cancer.
About 43,700 women in the U.S. are expected to die from breast cancer in 2024.

Survival Rates

The 5-year relative survival rate for localized breast cancer (confined to the breast) is 99% when caught early.
For regional breast cancer (spread to nearby lymph nodes), the survival rate is 87%, and for distant (metastatic) breast cancer, it is 32%.

Risk Factors

About 85% of breast cancers occur in women with no family history of the disease.
Risk increases with age, with most cases diagnosed in women over the age of 50.
Lifestyle factors, genetics, and environmental exposure can also contribute to risk.

Each year, more than 2.3 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer, and over 685,000 die from the disease.
Breast cancer represents about 25% of all cancer cases and 15% of all cancer deaths among women globally.

Early Detection

Mammograms can detect breast cancer 2-3 years before a lump can be felt, significantly improving outcomes.
