Valentine Defined Get Well Card

This was our fourth project from our March Play Day.  I fell in love with a beautiful card created by Michele Reynolds and used the same stamp sets and colors but changed the layout a good bit!  I especially liked the way this card used a Valentine stamp set for a different purpose, so we can get more from this set!  Here is a picture of my card:

STAMPS:  Valentine Defined, Sincere Salutations
CARDSTOCK:
     Old Olive:  5-1/2 x 6-1/4, scored at 2
     Cherry Cobbler:  3-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 2-3/4
     Daffodil Delight:  2-1/2 x 3-1/4
     Whisper White:  2-3/8 x 3-1/8
     Old Olive:  2-1/2 x 3
     Daffodil Delight:  2 x 2-7/8
     Whisper White:  1-7/8 x 2-3/4
     Scraps:  Whisper White and Daffodil Delight
INK:  Cherry Cobbler
MARKERS:  Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight
ACCESSORIES:  Dotted Ribbon Border Punch, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Sweet Buttons Embosslit, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Dimensionals

We made our "button" with the Sweet Buttons Embosslit by cutting out three buttons and gluing them together to give it more depth to look like a real button.  We used the paper piercer to poke two holes and threaded white thread thru it with a dental floss threader and knotted it. 

Thanks for looking!

Happy stampin and scrappin,

March Play Day Project

We made four cards at our March Play Day, all of which were Sympathy, Thinking of You type cards.  I almost totally CASED this card from Ruth Norton (whose card can be found at http://ruthsstampincorner.blogspot.com/2011/02/easter-wishes.html).  Her card is a CASE of Brandi Wiggins-Cote.  Here is my card:

I love the simplicity of this card, which could easily be any other type of card (Birthday, Get Well, etc.).  I think it would make a good card set to make as a gift for someone.  Here is my card recipe:

STAMPS:  Awash with Flowers, Thoughts and Prayers
CARDSTOCK: 
     Pretty in Pink:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
     Rose Red:  3-3/4 x 5
     Whisper White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8
     Scraps:  Whisper White, Miscellaneous (to punch circle template out of)
INK:  Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Basic Black, Rose Red
ACCESSORIES:  Sponge, 2-3/8 Circle Punch, Dimensionals
