Caught A Bug?

Nov22

Today I’m sharing a Get Well card using KLM Digital Design – Sitting Gnome from the new November release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Don’t let the little things bug you” and “Feel better soon”. This is the time of year when a lot of people start catching colds. This little gnome card would definitely cheer me up if I wasn’t feeling well and I hope that it cheers up some others as well!

Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word, printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then die cut using My My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers. I coloured in the image with Copic markers listed below and then added Pink & Main – Touch of Gloss to the bottle. Lastly, I die cut 3 clouds using some scrap Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock with Lawn Fawn – Pivot Pop-Up dies. I added a touch of colour to them with the Copic markers and then popped up 2 of the clouds using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape and glue for the other cloud. The finished image was then attached directly to the base using double-sided tape.

Speedy Recovery!

Jul8

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Walker Walter – TLF013 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) from the new release for the main image and Speedy Recovery Background – U004 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. I have an older friend in the hospital right now waiting to have an operation and I thought this little card would definitely cheer him up.

To make my card this week, I used Recollections – Cape Cod cardstock for the base card which is 4.25″ x 5.5″. I stamped both the large background image and Walter using my Misti and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink.

Then I ran the background image through my Cuttlebug using Your Next Stamp – Stitched Rectangle Die Set to die cut it.

Both images were coloured using Copic Markers. I edged around the background image and card base with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Blueprint Sketch. I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around “Walker Walter” and then outlined the image with Copic Markers C3 and C1. Next, I ran the image through my Xyron Creative Station and adhered it to some Black cardstock. I again used the Scan and Cut to cut around the image. I thought the border was too large, so I just manually fussy cut around the image leaving a smaller black border around it.

To complete the card, I bumped up both the background and the main image with 3M VHB – 2 sided tape.
