I have needed more than a normal amount of get well cards in the past few weeks. OOF.
Easy Peasy.
Supplies: Stamps – Essentials by Ellen, Stampin’ Up!, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Bay, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Oxide Inks Peacock Feather, Salty Ocean, VersaFine Clair Twilight, die – Simon Says Stamp, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear.
Since spring is blooming here, I pulled out my tulips stamp. I am waiting rather impatiently for my tulips to bloom – maybe it will be TODAY.
When I stamped the tulips, the ink would not dry…I ultimately had to pull out my heat gun to dry it. I didn’t realize until I was photographing that the paper I thought was Neenah white card stock was Bristol card stock – OOPS. Not what I intended. (And it bothers me that the whites don’t match – but that is a personal problem! 🙂 )

This is an old The Cat’s Pajamas stamp (Poochie the dog).
I needed a card for someone who recently broke a hip & had surgery. Poochie’s injured paw actually fits the occasion pretty well!
Supplies: Stamps – Stampin’ Up!, The Cat’s Pajamas, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Pacific Point, Real Red, inks – Copic B06, C3, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Lawn Fawn (stitched rectangle), Simon Says Stamp (banner), Spellbinders (circles), embossing folder – Stampin’ Up!, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear.
This card is related to a previously mentioned conversation with Cousin Pati. The two larger buttons were purchased as crafting accessories. The smallest button came from a blouse I owned back in my Software Engineer/Mathematician days.
The stems were all cut with the same die, and I embossed them with an embossing folder. Then, I trimmed them by hand to make them unique.
This cannot be sent through the mail in a regular envelope.

I had a few extra pieces left from yesterday’s card (dinosaur, cloud blended sky), and needed an easy card to mail for personal use.

Mellow Moss (retired), Tangerine Tango (retired), Wild Wasabi, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Tumbled Glass, VersaFine Vintage Sepia, VersaMark, dies – Lawn Fawn (dinosaur, hillside, leaves), Reverse Confetti (quilted tag), Simon Says Stamp (banner), embossing folder – Taylored Expressions, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear.
This dinosaur family may be brachiosaurus, but I think of Littlefoot in the animated movie “The Land Before Time” – he was a Long Neck.
One of my cousins just welcomed a new grandbaby, and she requested another dinosaur baby card. (The original dinosaur baby card is HERE .) I couldn’t make the cards the same…it took me a fair amount of time to have my epiphany.
I blended the sky with a cloud stencil, then built the scene on top of that with my die cut pieces. I struggled with where to place the “new baby” sentiment and finally decided to put it on Soft Sky paper so it blended with the sky.
