Hey everybody! Can you believe this year is on it’s way out?! Seems like it just got here! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #12 – Topaz & Turquoise + optional Get Well! This was a fun one for me because I just love these two colors together! I created a CAS-ish get well card featuring two awesome stamp sets and a flatback fish embellishment that I just love!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from 80# Solar White. Using the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set, I stamped water and seaweed in Catherine Pooler Fiesta Blue and Shea Butter inks, then splattered the background with the Fiesta Blue ink mixed with a little water on a fan brush. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and popped the panel up on a piece of blue craft foam. The finishing touch was adding a fish from the Buttons Galore & More Aquarium Flatbackz Embellishments.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips DTP-inked with the Fiesta Blue and Shea Butter inks. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Get Well sentiments stamp set and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! I shaking my head at how fast this year has flown by… so hard to believe we’re in the first week of October already! I’m delighted to share that I’m guest designing once again for Cut It Up Challenges, and the theme for Challenge #288 is Favorite Color(s)! Green has always been my favorite color (although I have several others that rank right up there with it) so I went with several shades of green and several different patterned papers for this diorama get well card.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from several green papers in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nested Dies, I cut a square into the inside flap and retained it for use on the front.

Using the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set, Catherine Pooler Deck the Halls, Sage, Spruce, and Eucalyptus inks, and the coordinating Fish Builder Punch, I created two fish for the front and two for the inside. I adhered two of the fish on the die cut square, popping one up on a foam strip, and stamped a sentiment (from the same stamp set) in the bottom center of the square. The finishing touch was adding several light green gemstones.

I cut the background seascape panel from a scrap in the Hot Off The Press Seascapes & Sand 6×6 double-sided paper pack and added the other two fish (one popped up on a foam strip) and several more light green gemstones. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, I cut a rectangle from a lighter green paper in the Keep It Simple Jade Collection Pack and adhered it beneath the aperture. I stamped another sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set, leaving room for a signature.
