Feel Better Soon..... please

Have you ever been working so intensely on a card and it's just not coming together at all?  Well, today after coloring in 15 little coffee cups, cutting, embossing and stamping and it STILL wasn't doing anything for me, I picked up one of the pieces I had embossed and thought "this would make the cutest little bandaid!

So, I present to you a get well card  that just makes me feel better already! It fits perfectly into the Small Open-Ended Envelopes #107286 which are 6-3/4" x 3-1/2". It's a great little envelope, too!

Supplies:

Pool Party card stock            6-1/2" x 6-1/2" round all four corners with a 3/16" Corner punch

Crumb Cake card stock        1-1/4" x 5"  emboss with Adorning Accents heart folder

                                                 1" x 1-1/4"   de-boss with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Whisper White card stock     2" x 2" 

Word Play stamp set #120651

Itty Bitty Bits stamp set #120060

Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Adorning Accents embossing folder

Big Shot Machine

Marina Mist ink

Crumb Cake ink

Basic Gray ink

Sponge

Stampin' Dimensionals

Glue Dots

Post-it Note

1) Fold card in half. Stamp hearts onto card front using Marina Mist ink. Sponge edges of card with Marina Mist ink also.

2)Round edges of embossed "band-aid" using the 3/16" Corner punch and sponge edges  with Crumb Cake ink. Adhere center piece of "band aid" using Glue Dots and then entire "band-aid" to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

3) Using Basic Gray ink, stamp sentiment to lower right hand corner of card. Also stamp sentiment onto Whisper white card stock. I used a label punch that I didn't realize was discontinued until writing this - however, you can cut out just the "ick" into a square that fits inside the saying and use the circle from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to add the little bit of cuteness to the corners. Adhere to card front with a Glue Dot.

Whenever I have to punch something this little I just adhere it to a Post-it note so you have something to hold onto while punching. Perhaps this picture will help...

       

The medicine bottle holds Jelly Bellys. I adorned it using a tag from the Lots of Tags Die set #114508, stamped it the same as the card front and used part of the same sentiment. I cut a piece of Marina Mist seam binding in half lengthwise (I like how it starts to fray!) to tie around the bottle (which I just happened to have from who knows where!)  A good source for the Jelly Bellys is Winco  - I love their bulk section!

Happy I Do!

A special card for a very special couple! Congratulations you two!

The "tux" and bodice of the wedding dress were created using the Round Tab punch #119864
For the tux: Using Basic Black c/s, punch only half the punch, slit it in the center and fold both sides back to create the lapels.
For the bodice: Use Whisper White c/s, punch the entire tab and then center the tab back into the punch and punch again to create the neckline.  You only need half the punch but I punched the entire piece so I had something to hold onto while I punched it the second time - then I trimmed it. (Was that enough punch, punch? Wheww!)
The Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder #120175 adds dimension to the dress.
"Happy I Do" is from the wonderful Word Play stamp set # 120651 - I use this set so..... often. It's a great investment.
Flowers are created using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack #118309 - centers are pearls
Flirtatious Specialty DSP #122360 was used with matching textured cardstock Wisteria Wonder

Do you have as many pearls and diamonds floating around your house as I do? Yesterday I found four pearls on the bottom of my flip-flops and diamonds on my daughter's ears!
