Hot Dog Get Well

Here is another card using Hot Dog, this week's SOTW. The "cone of shame" just cracks me up, and I hope whoever gets this card will get a laugh from it, as long as laughing doesn't hurt!

I tried to keep this a CAS card, but ended up using retired bling on it because I just couldn't leave well enough alone. (More is more, right?)

It's been ages since I added score lines to give texture to a card. The Simply Scored Scoring Tool really helps me get the lines straight, and the measurements on the side showed me exactly where to start and stop scoring.

Masculine Get Well

The husband of one of my friends fell and broke his leg last week - right above where he had a knee replaced (I don't now how long ago). So I made him a get well card, because that's all I can do. His surgery was yesterday and involved rods and screws. I can't even imagine how much that must hurt.

I already had the embossed Brass Foil die cut in my box of useful bits, so it was a simple matter to stamp and die cut the sentiment, and then choose a nice DSP background. I really like the way this turned out!

The Pretty Peacock background highlights the Pretty Peacock in the Plaid Tidings DSP beautifully. The white mat really makes it pop, too. I did use some ribbon, which I generally don't on guy cards, but I just cut banner ends and didn't put any frou-frou bows on it.

I hope he feels the warm healing wishes that I'm sending with it. I know my friend will. 😊

Measurements

Plaid Tidings 3-1/4" x 4-1/2"
Whisper White mat 3-7/16" x 4-11/16"

OKC Thunder Get Well

One of my stamping sisters recently broke her ankle, and it was severe enough that it required a hospital stay and surgery. Yikes! 😧

She's a big fan of the OKC Thunder basketball team, so I made her a card using the team colors of light blue, navy blue, yellow, and orange. That was a real challenge for me!

I figured the yellow and orange would be good using the Love of Leaves stamp set - autumn colors, dontcha know. 😉 But I wasn't too sure about the blues. After playing around with different combinations of elements, this is what I settle on. I think it worked, and she was appreciative! The greeting is from Healing Hugs.
