Get Well Soon – a dozen mini cards

Every now and then it’s good to build up a bit of a stash of cards so that you can send them out quickly when you need to.  Given the crazy hot & cold weather we’ve had this winter, all I’m seeing is a Facebook newsfeed full of people who are sick … and boy have there been some full-on viruses doing the rounds this season!!!  So this week I made up this budget batch of mini ‘Get Well Soon’ cards using Lawn Fawn’s ‘Get Well Soon’ mini stamp set.

There are a few reasons I like this set so much.  It’s adorable, for starters … and it’s a really well priced stamp set!  It’s quick to colour, and the tiny stamps can also be used to create coordinating patterned cardstock.

This set of cards is seriously budget friendly … just take a look at the list of ingredients.

Stamps: Lawn Fawn ‘Get Well Soon’
Pattern Paper: Best of Pebbles 12×12 paper pad
3 x A4 white cardstock (each sheet cut into 4 = 12 card bases)
Black ink pads: Memento Tuxedo Black + Ranger Archival Jet Black
Distress Ink: Fosilized Amber
COPIC
Bird – Y21, Y23, Y17 (body), YR2 (beak), B0000, B000 (hat)
Bandaid – E31, E55, E23

Acrylic Block OR Misti Stamping Tool
White cardstock cut using stitched dies (rectangle 2″ x 3.25″, circle 2″) *Blending card is ideal

My new favourite thing is to stamp inside the card, in this case, just using the tiny heart stamp in a trio to left, and single lower right.  I also stamped the back of each card with a fun ‘handmade’ stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop, and topped it with a yellow heart.

If there is a Lawn Fawn stamp or die set that you desperately crave, but you can’t find it in the shop, I will be happy to order it in for you.

Note that I haven’t used any embellishments … these cards are just clean and simple!  Let’s go to the video to see how it’s done…
