Get Well Soon, a Slimline Card

 Get Well Soon, a Slimline Card

Hello Dear Friends,

I hope that the weeks' heat hasn't got you down. Keep cool, you guys!

Today's card is another slimline card. This time it is a Get Well Soon card.  It's always good to keep at least one to hand just in case I need it.

This is a standard size slimline card made with white cardstock and layered in black cardstock.
I added the patterned mirror card (Crafters Companion - I believe it's one of their luxury cardstocks for every day.) to my card. 

I cut the banner above from holographic card using a Diamond Press die.
I have a grass die which I cut several times. I added some green ink to the front layer and left the back layer of grass alone.
I mounted the back layer first, then added the flowers, then added the front layer of grass. I alternated the height for the flowers, cutting the stems short for the yellow flowers.

I have this cute little flower die which is part of a slimline die set by Diamond Press. I cut 9 sets of the flowers from green cardstock. Then I cut flowers from yellow cardstock and pink pearl card. 

I cut the flower tops off and glued them to the green base. Then I mounted these flowers to the card onto the back layer of grass. Then I added the front layer of grass. 

I added red and yellow gems to the flowers.

I added a sentiment (Paper Wishes) to the center of my card. 

I love the Paper Wishes Dazzles and sentiments lines.  The sentiments are so varied, and I get a lot on a single sheet.  They sell them in multi-colored sets (usually black, white, silver and gold). They've recently come out with pastel shades.

The Thin Lines and Jewel Border Dazzles are another thing I often use to outline my cards or add a decorative touch.

(Note: I haven't been paid or given free merchandise to say this.  I just love their product.)

Thankful for You Rose Card

Thankful for You Rose Card

Hi everyone,

I hope that your June has been a good one.  We haven't gotten to the summer heat in California just yet.  The weather has been so nice with warm sunshine and cool breezes.

Today's card is reflective of my thoughts these days.  I am thankful. I am thankful for you, that I have enough to eat, a place to sleep. 

My card base is a standard A2 size (5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches) and is made from white cardstock (probably 250 gsm or greater).  

• I matted some coral pink pearlescent cardstock onto my card base followed by patterned paper.
• I usually cut my mats 1/8 inch smaller than the previous mat. Therefore, my card base being 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches - my first mat is 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches.
• The patterned paper is from Craft Consortium.
• I pulled out an older Crafters Companion die and cut the oval from a pale green pearlescent cardstock (I thought it was white, but it wasn't LOL.)
• I used a rose die from an Anna Griffin die set (Pop Up Bouquet Die Set) to cut my die. (I really like this die. It's got little thorns on the stem making it more realistic.)
• First, from dark green specialty paper.
• Second, from hot pink pearl card
• I layered the pink rose onto the green.
• I also cut out a flourish (from same die set) and layered it onto my card. 
• I added the rose on top of the flourish.
• I added an AG sentiment to finish.

 

I hope that you enjoyed today's card.  Please leave feedback. I'm always interested in what you might want to see!

Thanks for stopping by,
