Hugs & Healing Get Well Card

There is a new get well soon stamp set on the scene, and it incorporates two of my favorite things! Dogs and cats! Yay!! We created this card in my June Stamp Club. I love it and I’ve already sent it to a someone dear who recently had surgery. If you like to color or want to trying coloring with Stampin’ Blends, this is a good stamp set for you to try out. I don’t color much, I tend to highlight rather than color. But, I love this set!

I used Lost Lagoon CS as my card base and my layering base. Basic white for my stamped later and base layer for the Everyday Happiness DSP triangles. I stamped the dogs/cat in Gray Granite and added color highlights with light Lost Lagoon and light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends. I added a little simmer to the ice pack, thermometer, and dog tag with a bit of Wink of Stella. I added Wink of Stella to the animal noses after I colord them with the stampin blend. I had some retired Lost Lagoon ribbon and coordinating retird gems from the Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels collection to add a little pop to the front of the card.

Multi-purpose Multi-pillar Card

Hi everyone!!! I know, I know, it’s been like forever since I have posted. I’ve mostly been posting on my Donna’s Love at First Stamp Facebook page. I thought I’d better make it over to my blog before I lose all of my followers.

Anyways, enough of that…on to the important stuff. 😊 I made a card yesterday for my cousin. She retired from her job on 1 July and yesterday (12 July) was her birthday. She had a combo Happy Retirement and Happy Birthday party. Since I delivered this card in person I decided to “enlarge” it. Boy did I! It’s 5″ x 7″, but it is thick, thick, thick!! I didn’t add any extra gems, which is really surprising for me…I love my gems. 💎 The gold in the card adds enough umph to the card, without needing to add more.

I truly hope you enjoy it. If you would like the measurements, please let me know.

I used the following Stampin’ Up! supplies:

Wildflower Birthday DSP, #164591; Birthday Celebration Photopolymer Stamp Set, #164592; Birthday Celebration Dies, #164598; Everyday Arches Dies, #164629; Pool Party CS, #122924; Blueberry Buchel Classic Stampin’ Pad, #147148; and retired stamp sets – Gone Fishing, #161535 and Happy Birthday Gorgeous, #143662.

I loved creating this card! I flew by the seat of my pants on a few of the measurements, but in the end I think it worked out beautifully. My cousin really liked it and that is what mattered the most ❤️

Happy Stamping Everyone!!! 💕 Donna
