For Judi

My mom's friend, Judy, slipped on some ice in her garage and went down hard. The poor woman broke her femur. Can you even imagine? Here is the same design I used for the other 'get well' card I sent to my friend having back surgery. I may wait until she begins to heal a little before sending it. I don't want it to seem too Flippant.

Used Rococo Rose as the card base and a lighter wood design from 'In Good Taste' DSP to give this card a feminine look. I usually need to adapt to make a card more masculine- this is the first time I had to make a card more feminine

Other:

Alcohol Markers: light and dark Crumb Cake

Techniques:

Score card at 4.25 and then cut the front panel in half.

Keep the panel you cut out and that is what makes the base for the panel on the front.

Layered panels on top of one another to create a barn door look.

Tip

Another way to dress up the envelope is to use leftover paper and adhere to the envelope flap.

Cut a strip of DSP paper 6 in. x 2.5 in. You will have a little overhang, just cut along the envelop flap to remove excess.

Kickin' Donkey

We have a custodial staff member who had back surgery earlier this week. I saw this posted somewhere else and CASED it. So cute and I think it also fits the challenge this week for the Global Design Project #269 This week's challenge was a theme challenge. The theme- 'animals'. Only a week left of Sale-A-Bration and this is one of my favorites- can you believe you can get this FREE?!??!

The sentiment on the bottom come from the SU! set Back on Your Feet

The base of the card is created and scored then the front panel is cut in half and off of the card to create half panel, which really lends itself to the cute donkey theme.

I backed the front with white card stock in order to have a space to write a message.

As always, I don't like a naked envelope so I added the same DSP to the flap of the envelope. I am just addicted to dressing up envelopes. It just makes the recipient of the card that much more excited to open it up and see what's inside.

It's That Time- Get Well Cards Needed

CTS #156

I have been enjoying playing along with Case This Sketch and the Muse Challenges over the past month. I've really been able to stick with my resolution of submitting cards to weekly design challenges. This week's CAS(E) sketch is pretty straight forward. Emily is the guest designer this week; her blog is so fun to look through. I wanted to create a few of these. Each one turned out a little different. I need some get well cards and thought floral was a perfect focal point for this type of card.

Case This Sketch

This also fits the criteria for Muse challenge this week. For the Muse challenge, I took inspiration from the tiny butterfly, the floral, and the layout.
