Get Well Spoon

Hello and welcome!  I've been a little absent from my blog the last week or so because I was down with the flu.  I wasn't feeling up to making cards but that sure didn't stop me from thinking about them.  Of course I started thinking about all my friends and family who were also sick and I came to the realization that I didn't have even one get well card to send out. I didn't own any stamps or dies that said "get well soon" either.   I decided to fix that with a little trip over to Papertrey Ink. My friend Kristie told me they had a great selection of stamps and dies over on their website and boy she was right.  I could go crazy over there....and I did!

I fell in love with this little stamp and die set.  A real feel better, chicken soup, ice cream scoop Comfort Food stamp set that I know will make some adorable cards to cheer up all those sickos out there.  

Here's a peek at the first of many "get well" cards I plan to make and keep on hand.  I started out stenciling the background to set the kitchen counter scene.  I diecut and then popped up the top white panel with some fun foam and that  gave a dimensional area to set up the soup can and bowl.

I wanted to give Paper Smooches "get well" diecut a little twist by hanging it from the little spoon.   I know it's a little punny but I just couldn't resist.  ;)

For this card I used the following supplies:

Stamps:  Comfort Food (Papertrey Ink), Mini Banner Day Alphabet (My Favorite Things).

Ink:  buter bar, pool, soft sand, red royal (Hero Arts Shadow ink), onyx black (Versafine), clear watermark (Versamark).

Paper:  black cardstock (Simon Says Stamp), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah Exact).

Accessories:  Tiny Tags die (Simon Says Stamp), Get Well Phrase die (Paper Smooches), Textile Rectangle Frame die, Blueprints #15 die, Grid stencil (My Favorite Things), Comfort Food dies (Papertrey Ink), wink of stella glitter pen (Zig), white embossing powder (WOW), Real Brush Watercolor Markers (Zig Kuratake), bakers twine (unknown).

That's it for today.  Thank you so much for stopping by!
