Better Get Better

Ever need a Get Well Card?  I did...

I wanted something cheery, without being too cutesy.  So pulling out my beautiful Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper helped me choose a color palette that was just what I was looking for. 
A Crisp Cantaloupe card base was cut 5-1/4" x 8-1/2"  and scored on the long side at 4-1/4".  I then layered on a piece of Island Indigo which took a quick trip through the Big Shot with my Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  The Watercolor Wonder DSP came next, but was cut about an inch narrower than the Island Indigo, leaving a border on the left.  Before gluing this layer, I inserted a few Banner Blast images, punched with the Banner Punch (these are FREE through Monday, when Sale-A-Bration ends). 

And to highlight it all, I ran a strip of Island Indigo through the Big Shot with the Finishing Touches Edgelits.

The sentiment from Perfect Pennants was stamped in Island Indigo Ink on Cardstock Vellum and cut using the Banner Framelits dies; a second, larger one was also cut from Vellum and embossed with Perfect Polka Dots.  Some Island Indigo Bakers Twine was wrapped three times and tied in a bow,and this was all added to the card front.

I  jazzed up the envelope by adding matching DSP.

Wouldn't this brighten your day?

Get Whale Soon

Every now and again I find I'm in need of a Get Well card.  Last week my mom tripped and fell, breaking her hip.  She's doing well (transferred to rehab and should be released in about 10 days) but is feeling a bit sorry for herself right now.  She lives 3000 miles away from me, so I'm trying to send her some love every few days. 

I know this will brighten her day.  The adorable whale, from "Oh Whale", along with the clever sentiment, is added to the new Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards.  What an easy way to create!   These beautiful cards are pre-printed with five different designs on watercolor paper (you get 4 of each! for a total of 20 note cards) which come with Ivory envelopes. 

And did you catch the sneak peek?  Those cute tiny banners are cut from Designer Series Paper using the coming-soon Banner Punch!  So easy!  And what's even better?  You can get this punch for FREE! during Sale-A-Bration, starting January 28th!  With every $50 order, you get to choose one FREE item from the wonderful Sale-A-Bration catalog!
