Get Well Card ~ Simply Floral {1st Post}

My goodness it seems like forever

since I used my Flourishes goodies.

The challenge is to use a stamped

image and leave it un-colored.

I added a bit of washi tape

then dressed it up with some bling.

To finish it off I added a

simple sentiment in the corner.

Get Well Card ~ I'm Here For You {2nd post}

When I saw this adorable tissue box in this Lawn Fawn stamp set I just knew it would make the perfect get well card. {I have more ideas in the works for this set for sure}
I started by stamping some of the sentiments from the same set around the edge of the card base.
I embossed a few of the layers with the dot folder.
I stamped and cut out the tissue box.
The stamp comes with tissue peeking out but I thought real tissue would add a cute 3D effect.

*Card base cut at 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Sentiment and tissue box from the On the Mend stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
*Tissue piece cut from a piece of Kleenex.
*Ribbon from Offray (Michaels)

Get Well Card ~ Fall Colors (post #1)

Fall is coming very quickly and very soon the leaves will be falling from the trees.
Of course along with fall comes a not so welcome season... the cold season.
I made this card in hopes that it would cheer someone with this feel better soon sentiment.
I added two types of ribbon one right on top of the other to give it a two-tone feel.
Then added a button with a twine bow.

Get Well Card ~ Floral Frenzy (post #2)

I dug into my large scrapbook paper stash to find some paper I haven't used yet.
Like a lot of crafters I have an obsession with collecting pretty paper... so much so that I have put myself on a paper buying time out.
Starting my blog and getting inspiration from the blogs I follow and the challenges I enter has helped me start shopping from my own stash.
The picture doesn't even come close to showing the extent of my obsession stash.
I literally have years worth of paper.
I really love how all these products came together to create my card.

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Card front design paper panels cut from the Colorbok Spring Morning 12 x 12 paper pad.
