Sending Get Well Wishes

Hi, everyone! Today I'm over on the CDD Blog bringing you the Daily post featuring Wishful Thoughts Stamps and Flowers In Bloom Stamps. I decided that I wanted to create a Get Well card and thought this was the perfect time to use these beautiful Orchids.

I've been using my SVG Outlines a lot lately to build shaker cards, and I decided to run with that technique once again. I have to say I'm kind of loving the end result. This method is so easy, once your SVG Outlines merged into your designer software, size it accordingly. I change the size of my mat to 4.25in. X 5.5in., the same size as my card base. By doing this, you can determine exactly where you want your cutout. I usually center mine so that I can use a die-cut like the Fancy Frame Dies. You will be surprised how quickly this card comes together.

Here are the products I used:

Thinking Of You

challenge, Craftin Desert Divas, Distress Inks, Heat Embossing, Mood Board, Simon Says Stamp Friday, January 27, 2017

Hi, everyone and welcome! Today I'm sharing a little inspiration for the Craftin Desert Divas Monthly Mood Board Challenge. You still have a few days left to join in.

January Mood Board Challenge

I did a little heat embossing and distress ink blending to create this quick Thinking of You card.

I highly recommend the Finetec Watercolor Set - Golds, they are gorgeous, and it takes very little water to use them. I also recommend investing in a few high-quality paint brushes or you'll just keep replacing the cheap ones.
