Get Well Soon

Today I'm the designer at Card A Day Blog and our weekly theme is "Get Well Soon".

I normally use a Cricut cut for the "Get well soon" sentiment but today I used my computer.  I printed out the sentiment onto plain paper until I got the size and position I wanted.  I then printed it onto white cardstock.  My pattern paper panels are each cut at 1 1/8" by 3 1/2" and are layered on the bottom of the white cardstock with white showing between the panels.  I added the ribbon then glued everything to the card, made the bow and added it.

For the inside I added a small strip to the top of the card leaving a little bit of white cardstock showing through. No I did not ink any of my pieces and realized that after I had the card put together. 

Tomorrow Debi Barber is the designer so be sure to stop in and see what she had to inspire you. Thanks for stopping by.

Get Well Soon

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining me from the Card A Day Blog.  I'm starting the week off with Get Well cards. 

I started with a brown base cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2, scored on the 8 1/2" side at 4 1/4". The polka dot and flower paper was cut to 4" x 5 1/4". I layered this with a piece of brown card stock cut at 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" and the green and white paper is cut at 1 1/4" x 4 1/4".  Then topped with a bow. I used the Paper Lace cartridge to cut my sentiment and it's shadow out. 

For the inside I inked my stamp with Melon Mambo and stamped it onto white card stock twice then onto my mat. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Tomorrow Shelley Bordeleau from Gardens Craft'n More will be your Card A Day Blog Designer.
