Get Well Card for On the CASE

get well cardNicole and I are back with another On the CASE. I am working my way through Stampin’ Up!® catalogs, breaking down samples step-by-step, in order to provide you with free tutorials so you can CASE your own. Nicole is using her investigative skills to solve CASES throughout the crafting universe. Let the fun begin!

Today I am CASEing a bright and cheery get well card from the Occasions Catalog. It features items from the Happiness Blooms Suite.

get well cardI will admit that when I first saw the Bloom by Bloom stamp set, I said, “This is not the set for me.”  But after using the set in a Make and Take at OnStage Live in Orlando, I absolutely fell in love with it!  It inks up fabulously, and stamps like a dream. I hope you like today’s get well card just as much as I do. It’s so bright and cheery, it’s sure to make the recipient feel better really soon!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

One of the fun things I like to do is mix patterns. Although I’m not brave enough to do it with my clothing, I love mixing designer paper patterns. One the keys is to watch the scale of the patterns and to tie them all together with color.  I LOVE the patterns in the Painted Season Designer Series Paper.  (This paper is part of the Painted Seasons bundle, which is available as a Sale-A-Bration item.)

layered thank you cardSometimes I get into a rut, always stamping an image onto Whisper White or Very Vanilla. However, the Poppy Parade blossom is so much softer when stamped onto Petal Pink.

layered thank you cardRather than a stamped sentiment, I went with a die cut Early Espresso “thanks”.  The Well Written framelit collection is awesome!
