Cheerful Get Well Card

Here’s the second Get Well card in the series of three that I need to make.
This card started with the orange patterned paper, I wanted to use something cheerful but not overwhelming. The orange is Pumpkin Pie so I then picked Rose Red for the flower and base of card because I’ve found in the past that I like the look of Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red together. I stamped the flower then cut it out and added a felt flower to the centre and then a half pearl in the centre. You can’t tell in this photo but the flower is mounted using Stampin’ Dimensionals so that it sits up on the card rather than flat. Same with the greeting, that’s mounted so that it ‘pops’. Also the whole centre part of the card (everything stuck onto the white cardstock) is mounted onto the Rose Red card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Seriously, I buy those Stampin’ Dimensionals in bulk I go through so much of them but I just like the effect they give. Oh and on the left of the card is some patterned paper which I punched out using a Square Scallop punch and I just folded the square in half and sandwhiched the card into it. I could have been frugal and cut the shape in half and stuck that on top and saved the other side for another card but I just like the finish it gives to the side of the card when it’s folded over the back. So that’s it… I hope it cheers up the lady I’m going to send it to.
If you’d like to know exactly what I used to make this card the list is at the end of this post. All the products I’ve used are by Stampin’ Up! and are available for purchase through me at angelasargeant@gmail.com. Please feel free to leave a comment and maybe let me know what you usually like to put on a Get Well card, is it flowers? a bandaid? animals? I always like to hear what other fellow papercrafts like creating.
Products used:
Sincere Salutations stamp set
Eastern Blooms stamp set (from the 2008-2009 Summer Mini catalogue)
Bali Breeze Designer Series Paper (both the orange and green paper is from this series of paper)
Ribbon Originals – Fairy Tale (the green ribbon is one of 5 ribbons in a pack)
Flower Fusion Accents & Elements (the small green felt flower)
Pretties Kit (pearls)
Rose Red cardstock
Rose Red inkpad
Old Olive inkpad
Sponge Dauber (to sponge Rose Red ink around the greeting)
Whisper White cardstock
SNAIL adhesive
Stampin’ Dimensionals (foam dots)
Glue Dots (to stick down the pearls)
) and I realised that I used all the things that are real staple items for me. Things like gold embossing powder, a set of sentiment stamps and some pretty embellishments that are for all occasions and of course some ribbon in a colour that goes with everything. This is a simple card and yet I just love it’s elegance. Okay, I feel weird praising my own card… but since I’m so over-critical with my cards usually, I’ll let this one slip by!
