Feel Better Soon

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this "get well" card.  Since we are in the middle of winter and flu season, this card is perfect for cheering up anyone who is under the weather.

I went with an embossed background for my card and then cut out my pieces from the Ouch With Tooth and the Chicken Noodle Soup die sets.  The napkin is triangle cut with my paper trimmer.

Once I matted the embossed card stock on a blue background, I added the triangle napkin at the base of my card.

Next, each of the die cuts were adhered on top of the napkin with the extra spoon resting on top.

The "feel better soon" sentiment was stretched along the top of my card fitting perfectly across the background.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Bowl of Flowers

Hi!

This is Anja. How was you week? I've been busy at work. Lots of projects to finish, before the school year ends. When I manage to get some free time, I've been crafting. Flowers are still one of my favourites dies to work with. An because I'm still waiting for the new dies to come, I used flowers again an made a flower arrangement.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Flowers for Mom, Hat Box with Flowers, Mom's Garden Bouquet, Chicken Noodle Soup, Made w/ Love Phrase, Nested Stitched Doily Set),
- Distress Inks (Black Soot, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Barn Door, Mustard Seed, Shabby Shutters, Stormy Sky),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- white card base (10,5x21 cm),
- patterned paper (2,5x21 cm),
- scissors,
- adhesive tape,
- paper glue.

First I die cut the flowers. I used Distress Inks to color it.

Then I die cut and colored the bowl.

I cut the flowers in pieces and arranged in the bowl. I used adhesive tape in the back to hold it together.

Then I cut the doily, to look like a tablecloth.

I also cut the sentiment and colored it with Distress Ink.

When I had all the pieces cut and colored I arranged it on the card base. I also cut a strip from patterned paper, so it looks like a wooden table.

This is all about my card for today. I hope next week I start wit more masculine cards. New "Just for Guys" release is still on sale. You should check it out.

Enjoy your Sunday and see you gain in a week.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Hi, Lois here today with another card made with one of the Black Friday release Get Well dies. There are 12 dies in the release, and all of them are really cute and sure to cheer up anyone who is under the weather!  The entire bundle can be purchased at a special price, plus you can buy individual dies at a discount also.  Some up to 80% off!  That is a great deal!!!   My card today uses two of the new Get Well sets, Chicken Noodle Soup and Get Well Phrase.

To begin my card I cut cardstock for the base:

Red - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Black - 4" x 5 1/4"
White - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Gingham patterned paper - 3 7/8" x 1 1/2"

I have found that sometimes it is much easier to cut all the various pieces of a die from white cardstock and then color them.  That is what I did with the Chicken Noodle Soup die.  The sentiment die was cut from black cardstock, which I had backed with a double-sided adhesive sheet.

Using the illustration on the packaging, I colored the various die-cut pieces with Copic markers -- with the exception of the soup can and the spoon.  These I colored with a silver Wink of Stella brush.  I didn't think it was necessary to color the entire soup can because only the top and bottom would eventually show.

Then I constructed the chicken, soup bowl, and soup can.

After I put my card together, I decided that the "CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP" didn't show up very well; so I used an XS Faber-Castell black pen to go over the words.  I was much happier with this.  I then added the three enamel dots.

I was  really impressed with all the parts of this die -- down to the steam and the noodles!  Be sure to check out these very cute Get Well dies, as well as all the others that are on sale.
