Feel Better Soon-Card

Hey Everyone,  

While my friends are at CKC enjoying themselves today, I am stuck here at work. Yuck!  To turn this frown upside down I decided to share with you the last card I posted, since it was only a sneak peek.

Here is how I made the card.  The card measures approximately 3 1/2 wide x 5 inches high.  This image is from one of my most favorite companies: Whipper Snapper Designs.  The stamp is called "Sunflower Pitcher".  I stamped the image on white card stock with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink.  

The colors of Copic markers I used are: 

cool grey:  C1, C3 & C5

Yellow:  Y32, Y35, & Y38

Brown:  E01, E13, E19

Green:  YG03, YG06, YG09

Purple:  BV00,  BV01,  BV04

and I also used Colorless Blender when needed.  

After the image was colored, I cut it out with a tiny white border all around.

For the card itself:  I stamped with Hero Arts "Friend Definition" background stamp.  Inked it up with my Pool Party Ink pad by Stampin Up.  Stamped off and then stamped on my card for a muted look.  Took some pattern paper along the left side with a tiny strip of green card stock to give it more of a FINISH look.  I used my corner chomper by WRMK and corner rounded the corners on the right side of the card.  I softened up the card a little with some yellow ink around the edges of the card with a sponge.  Next, I stamped the Sentiment "Feel Better Soon" from Stampin' Up Hostess Set called Express Yourself on scrap white paper and cut out to look like a pennant.  I inked the edges with yellow ink. Glued down the sentiment to the card about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom of the card.   I laced the button with some twine, tied in a bow and then adhered the button down with glue dot. Put some pop dots on the image and adhered above the sentiment.After I finished the card, I felt like it needed a little something else.  So I took my Clear Wink of Stella, Glitter pen by Zig and went over the center of the sunflowers to add a little bling.  I am not sure you can see it in the picture but in real life it is so cute.

Little Miss Daisy and a Card

Hey Everyone,  Happy Summer!  

I just got back from Vacation last night.  I love visiting my family and I can't wait to do it again really soon.  

As many of you all know I used to have a Beagle named "Skip".  I also used to have a Rottweiler named "Adora".  They both passed away with old age in the past 4 years.  It has been about a year or 2 since Skip passed and I have been longing for a new fur baby.  While we were visiting my Mother in Tennessee we came home with a new dog.  She is 2 and is a Maltese.  She weighs all of 5 lbs and is super sweet.  It broke my heart to leave her in the crate this morning when I had to come to work. 

Everyone meet  Little Miss Daisy!  

Onto something crafty related:  This card here is a card I made using the Papertrey ink Stitches & Swirls.  

I stamped it with white ink on baja breeze card stock.  Matted it on white card stock then stitched around the edges with my sewing machine in a zig-zag stitch.  Used some Heidi Swap spray and dripped some on the blue.  Wrapped with seam binding ribbon and pinned a tag to the front.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  

Feel Better Soon

Hi Everyone,

Happy Hump Day, 

Today I am going to share with you a card I made.  I dusted off my Cameo again for this project.  

Lisa has some cute cute stuff in her store from Digital images and SVG files for you to cut out with your Silhouette/Cameo or your Electric Die cut Machine.  Check them out here:  PRETTY PAPER GRAPHICS

I did this card using her GET WELL CUTTING FILE.  I sewn on a pocket on the front of the card and added a tea bag into the pocket. I chose a sentiment from Paper Smooches HEALTHY VIBES stamp set. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  

Bee-Lieve in yourself and Get Well

Hi Everyone,  

Yesterday was such a pretty day.  Very Nice weather here in New Jersey.  Today (Tuesday) is just the same.  I can't wait to get out of work and head home to open my windows to let some sunshine in.  

For today's project I am going to show you the remainder 2 of the Stamp-A-Stack Cards we did on Sunday at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo.  

This card below is using some Unity Stamps.  I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the set.  I love UNITY Stamps because they are deeply etched rubber.  You get a nice image when you stamp.  I colored the image in with my copic markers and then added a little glossy accents to the wings and mustache.  

This card below is using one my favorite stamp sets from Paper Smooches.  I love the band aids and the little get well stamp.  Again, these images are colored in with Copic markers and fussy cut out and then pop dotted up on the card stock.  

Thank yo so much for stopping by today.  See you on the BLOG tomorrow. 

Feel Better Soon

Hi Everyone,  

I hope you all had a great Super Bowl Week-End.  Did anyone watch the Parade of Champions?  I had the TV on but I muted the TV.  From what I seen it was pretty good.  A lot of talking for my taste though.  

I don't know about you guys but I don't usually do any "get well" cards.  I decided to add one to my stash.  This one was inspired by the card that was designed by the ever so popular Jennifer McGuire.  The stamp set I ordered directly from Paper Smooches and it is called Healthy Vibes. There is a lot of cute little "get well" stamps in this package.  

I stamped the band-aid in Rich Cocoa on Shimmer Paper and colored the image with my copic markers.  I colored the hearts on a different image and then cut it out to pop dot on the band-aid.  The "Feel Better Soon" stamp was stamped all over the card with Crumb Cake ink (Stampin' Up) and then I went over the image in various areas with the Rich Cocoa Momento ink to make it pop off the page.  After the card was put together I did go in and add glossy accents to the hearts to add more dimension.  To add a softer look to the card, I sponged around the edges with the Crumb Cake ink pad.  The little strip of "blue" was from some scraps I had from some left over Cosmo Cricket.  

Thanks for stopping by today.
