Today I wanted to share a way to send some love and hugs to someone who isn't feeling their best. It could be a temporary illness or a serious illness, it doesn't really matter. People like to know that they are in your thoughts when they are at their lowest. There's a new stamp set in the Annual Catalog that makes this easy and pretty. I recently played with the set, "Healing Hugs" (page 110 in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog). I combined it with a pretty new Designer Series Paper set called "Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper".
For this first one, I added a wonderfully detailed framelit that is also new this year, called "Delicate Lace Edgelit". There are three different edgelits to choose from.
Don't you love the rose stamp? Stampin'Up! is creating more and more of these that stamp at different ink saturations to give a more realistic effect of how a rose would really look.
The next one features some beautiful butterfly thinlits from the "Springtime Expressions" set.
For the next one, I cut out a circle from my background cardstock and placed the DSP behind it. This would be even more dramatic if I had popped up the background piece with dimensionals to create a shadowbox effect.
Don't forget to stamp on Designer Series Paper! It isn't just for looking at! The last card features the wonderful new embossing folder "Tufted". I did all my stamping before I embossed and it worked out perfectly!
I hope I've given you some inspiration for some "Get Well" cards. This is a category of card that I tend to overlook and with these new ideas, I'll beef up my supply again. Thanks #stampinup!
And thanks to you for stopping by and seeing what I'm up to! I have a slew of new cards coming in the next few days and weeks. I have several ready to photograph and get ready to show you. I'm also doing some classes so check out my calendar if you are in the Bozeman area. It's on my SU website, link located to the right ===>>
Happy Stampin'!
