Two Friends Stamping

Get Well Wishes

Good Evening Everyone!

I took my inspiration from the wonderful Mary Brown, and CASE'd her wonderful card seen here .... changing up a few things (colors, sentiment, ribbon). I needed a few Get Well Cards to send to some friends this evening and took advantage of some cute flowers to cheer them up! Now if only Spring would arrive ...... I think we have a month or more before we start seeing the Crocus popping through the ground. I am headed to Arizona for a month on Wednesday to wait it out and hopefully return to Michigan when the snow is GONE!

 

I used the Filled with Love Stamp Set for the flower Stems, the Boho Blossoms Extra Large Punch for the flower backgrounds and the clear Bitty Buttons for the flowers. Daffodil Yellow, Rich Razzelberry and Pacific Point created the "pop" of color (thanks to the Color Coach!).

Hope you enjoy your evening and have a great week!

Stamping again .....

Hi Everyone;

It has been months since an original card has been stamped in my stamp room! Julie and I are still deciding whether to continue blogging or not but I thought I'd pass along a few creations I made last night! I have owed a Get Well Card to someone for a LONG time .... unfortunately she still needs it :(

I will be working on a few new cards this week (again owed to a friend of mine .... Cheryl - yes I PROMISE I will be working on them!). 

Have a wonderful New Years Holiday.

Karin

I created two versions of the Get Well Card ....

and made my husband a Valentine's Day Card :)

Flower Fancy Thinking of You

I love the Cottage Wall DSP that uses the combination of the “soon to be discontinued” Orchid Opulence and the “new” color Rich Razzleberry.  I thought I would use it as the base for a get well card.  

Shelli Gardner recently shared with us that she loves to use the Color Spritzer Tool so I thought I would give it a try.  It does give a nice finish to stark white.

Two-step stamp sets are designed to fill in the space of an open image stamp.  I love that I don’t have to “color”!  I also was able to incorporate my favorite tool, the Big Shot, by using the new Square Lattice Embossing Folder and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die.

Thoughts and Prayers PPA 30 Challenge

I had to get some cards out to a couple friends who are having/recovering from major surgeries.  I had a card in mind but then decided to have a little fun with it.

I started out with a simple card and progressed to the card I had in mind.

The first design is simple-a base card of Chocolate Chip topped with a layer of Whisper White CS embossed with the SU Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.  I inked the flower branch image with markers and stamped it on one of the Hugs die-cut note cards from the Occasions Mini, stamped the greeting and attached it with Dimensionals.  This is an easy card that qualifies for the PPA KISS Challenge-lots of white space with a nice soft design. 

For the next card, I simply added a layer of Regal Rose CS behind the Hugs note card.  This layer does not detract from the softness of the design, but adds a little feminine sweetness to it.

The final card is wrapped in satin ribbon tied with linen thread.  For a little glitz I added some sparkle in the center of the flowers with the tiny rhinestones from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit in the Occasions Mini.  If you don’t own one of these kits, please consider the value-$9.95 for many, many embellishments!

All of the cards have the same design on the inside.
