Watts of Get Well

Before you see today's card, I want to share something with you that I've been doing to keep from fighting with the new stamp pad design.  I know the pads are supposed to get easier to slide open with use, but I'm tired of getting extra inky in the meantime.  This works perfectly!  Just open your inkpad (the new style only) and lay down the inkpad side onto your work surface.  It's nice and flat and works perfectly for inking up your stamps.

Then, simply close the ink pad and you're done!  Just be sure it clicks when you close it so it is closed tight.



My Uncle Lou in Maryland has come down with a bug or something that has him feeling really under the weather, so I thought it would be fun to send him a cute get well card.  When looking through my stamps, I came across "Watts of Occasions" and immediately knew this was the one I wanted to use.


Recipe:
Lemon Lime Twist - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Basic Black - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" (run through embossing folder - Softly Falling)
Basic Black - 4 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper - 4 1/8" x 3 1/8"
Basic Black - 3 3/4" x 2 1/4"
Whisper White - 3 5/8" x 2 1/8"

Ink:  Memento Black, Lemon Lime Twist

Don't forget to decorate your envelope!  I added more of the Animal Expedition DSP.

Fun Fold Outing

I know I've posted this fun fold before, but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere!  When I saw this one on Saturday by Dawn Olchefske, it reminded me of it and so I had to make a card similar to hers because I love this paper so much!

Here is my version:



Recipe:
Smoky Slate - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4" and then, cut off 1 1/2" off the front of the card
Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" (outside)
Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper 5 1/4" x 1" (inside strip)
Pool Party - 5" x 3", scored at 1 1/4"
Melon Mambo - 3" x 2 1/2"
Whisper White - 2 3/4" x 2 1/4"
Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4" (inside)
Whisper White Scrap for sentiment
Pool Party Scrap for Scallop

Before you place the inside Whisper White panel, glue down the 1 1/4" portion of the Pool Party paper, then glue down the White panel.  Decorate the left side with the 1" strip (which happens to be the other side of the DSP from the front).


Instead of stamping and coloring the Rhino again, I used one that I had cut out using the framelits that come with the Animal Outing Bundle and popped it up with Dimensionals.


Thank you for looking in today.  Have a Blessed Sunday!
