Poppy Get Well Card

This card is for hubby's cousin who sang in the church choir and is now battling cancer. Over the years I've purchased old hymnals in thrift shops that I can use in cards and crafts. I got four that were falling apart for about 50 cents each. I chose a hymn about God's miracles that I thought his cousin might know so that I could write my note inside about how I'm praying for a miracle in his healing. I added a poppy I colored with Copic markers and the sentiment from a Graciellie digital stamp set, Poppy Wishes. I used a paper cutter to cut the inside out of black cardstock to make a frame to pop up over the hymn background. If you'd like to hear this hymn and the story behind its creation, you can listen on youtube.

Thank you for visiting! I'm so glad you share your love with others through your cards. May God bless you with His love in return!

When Friends Are Sick

One of my friends scrapbooked with us last month. After she left she stopped by her elderly mother-in-law's apartment  a couple of blocks away to check on her and found she'd had a stroke. She was put in ICU in the hospital, then after a couple of days she was transferred to a nursing home. My friend was told she'd also had a heart attack, then was placed in a nursing home where she developed pneumonia . All of this meant she couldn't return to her apartment or live alone. So a few days ago my friend moved her things and brought her to live with her and her husband. When I see my friend this weekend I'm giving her this card for her mother-in-law. Because of her condition, I didn't want to simply say "GET WELL SOON."  But asking God to help her get through the problem with His Grace is always appropriate. I want her to know that God will strengthen and care for her during this difficult time.

I was thankful for the retro challenge at Southern Girls to use old punches. I used two scalloped squares for the sentiment. The stamp set is CTMH Sending Prayers  and retired papers from Gimme Some Sugar.

Thank you for visiting! May your cards encourage others who are ill or have lifelong conditions.

They brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.” (Matthew 8:16–17)

White Butterfly Get Well Card

The Heart 2 Heart challenge today is called Season of White.  I think that's appropriate because outside I've seen white snow everywhere for days. Usually that would make me create a card with everything white. But this time I think it influenced the pale colors of this card, white "snow" dotted background, and white butterfly. I also find that my eyes long for color, flowers and butterflies when all I see outside is WHITE!  I'm trying to make an entire set of get well cards because sub-freezing temperatures and the arrival of flu in our area reminds me that someone will need encouraging!

For the background I chose the Rustic Home Fundamentals kraft with white dots. All of the images were cut using CTMH Cricut cartridges. One thing I love to do with foliage, flowers, and butterflies is to only add some liquid glue in the centers and bend up many of the edges for more dimension. The leaves (Flower Market) and bamboo colored flower centers (Artistry) used Oh Deer papers and the pink flowers used the pink watercolored designer paper from Calypso.

The inside has one of my favorite verses of encouragement for strength:

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 1 Corinthians 12:9

I used photoshop to combine a digital sentiment from Sweet n Sassy Stamps, "Amazing Grace," and a butterfly from Bugaboo's "For You From Me Flower Block" that I got long ago. My technique was to use the Magnetic Lasso Tool to roughly outline the butterfly to copy it. I did have to resize the entire image by half  first (which increases the dpi)  and lower the resolution to 300 dpi by clicking on Resample Image in the Image Size screen in order to get the right fit for the 300 dpi sentiment. If the resolutions don't match, the butterfly would have been way too big.

Thank you for visiting! May God keep you warm and safe from flu and winter's ailments!

Get Well Sunflowers Card

I explained on my previous post how I needed to take my mind off of the pain and illness of auto-immune attacks this week. Here's my second card to take my mind off of how I feel and think about someone else who is ill. One of my crafty friends who moved away two years ago is just finishing radiation this week for lung cancer, so I'm thinking of her with this card.
I used Copics to color this image from Power Poppy stamps. You probably already know that coloring is therapeutic! It sure beats focusing on headaches, arthritis, etc.

 

The sunflowers at Just Us Girls this week helped inspire this cards. Fall colors with golds, oranges and browns were perfect for this variety of flowers. The photo inspiration at Time Out Challenge inspired me to make the vase gray and use a lined dark gray paper background like the wall around their fall window view.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you with ways to get your mind off of yourself when you don't feel well. Cardmakers have a special way to make their craft a double blessing - for themselves and others!

Get Well Card with Black-Eyed Susans

We are having such wonderful weather this week! We've known for a week that we would have no rain, low humidity, and perfect temperatures, high around 70 degrees F.. My auto-immune disease decided to flare up and make me miserable instead of letting me work outside in the garden as I'd planned. I decided to take my mind off of misery by coloring some beautiful flower stamps from Power Poppy. Thinking about making Get Well cards for others took the focus off of myself. It's amazing how well that works! Coloring does, too! Here's the first one I colored with Copics and designed using a sketch from the Cheerful Sketches Challenge and sunflower and colors from the inspiration photos at Use Your Stuff. 

The background paper is old Basic Grey Nook and Pantry and the black pattern is from the Paper Studio Harper's Boutique. I used Spellbinders dies and the sentiment is cut using Cricut Paper Lace. I used a gauzy ribbon across the bottom that I've had forever and so glad to use up!.

 

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you in times of pain or illness and show you ways to get your mind off of your distress! Cardmakers and crafters have a special outlet for blessing others, too! (Check out my 2nd get well card, later.)

Floral Get Well Wishes

I wanted to make a bright floral get well card that was still flat enough to mail. The lovely inspiration at NordSalten Hobbyklubb challenge and the colors at Sunday Stamps Challenge #131:

I used Scotch tape to mask most of the sentiment from the embossed sentiment on front, just leaving the Get Well Soon portion. Then I included the entire part on the inside. Both inside sentiments are from Our Daily Bread Designs. The encouraging verse says: "For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying 'Fear not, I will help you.' Isaiah 41:13" and "May His healing presence be with you. Get Well Soon!"

Mojo Monday 440 Get Well Soon

My box of Get Well cards is nearly empty and I want to make a priority of encouraging my friends who are sick or recovering from surgery.

The Mojo Monday sketch this week was perfect for the scraps I was putting away. I cut a CTMH Picture My Life card in half, then I paired it with one of the Verve sentiments and flowers that I colored with Copics and mounted on a chipboard ring wrapped with cocoa grosgrain ribbon. The center of the flower is made by putting a glob of liquid glass and sprinkling on some dark brown granules I saved from a dessicant pack that came in my vitamins.

I'm keeping posts short until I can get my computer fixed!  So thanks for visiting!

Get Well with Butterfly Swirls

Each week our new pastor emails us with updates about illnesses, hospitalizations, and surgeries. I truly need to make a lot more get well cards!  Here's one inspired by this lovely photo at Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge #251:

 

The peacock and colors inspired me to find a dark blue scrap of "peacock feather designer paper" from an old CTMH packet called Magnifique and a lighter swirled pattern paper I've had a long time. To continue that blue and peacock theme, I stamped the words and images using my new CTMH "Peacock" ink!    Both the image and th e verse from Jeremiah 30:17 are from an Our Daily Bread Designs stamp set, "Get Well." The Spellbinder's Nestabilities die is "Labels 25."

I love the first half of this verse. God loves us and wants the best for us. It's a precious promise to claim:

¹⁷ ‘For I will restore you to health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,  Jeremiah 30:17a  (NASB)

May this verse also encourage you at times you need healing.

Going Green for Get Well Card

I've been absent more than a week thanks to a construction crew being at our house repairing our basement. I spent time moving most of my bulbs, but the perennials are now buried in many inches of clay. Amid all of the disruptions, I also made decorations and enlarged her two scrapbooks for my mother-in-law's 90th birthday party Sunday. Her birthday was March 16th and my grandmother's birthday was March 17th, today, if she was still living. She was born 101 years ago today. 

I made this card with my grandmother in mind. Although she had gotten tired of getting everything green on her birthday, it was complementary to her sometimes auburn hair. She was amazingly creative and had to constantly be making things, especially our clothes and quilts. She loved to cook, can foods from the garden, and play the piano. She was an avid reader. She was very down-to-earth and loved doing things for neighbors and family. I could say much more, but the last factor helped inspire the subject of this card - her health was very poor and she died much too early in her sixties.

I used the Cricut Pagoda cartridge to cut the bamboo and sentiment. The colors are Sweet Leaf and New England Ivy with black mats. The ribbon is my really old hoarded CTMH Ponderosa Pine organdy. The white background was embossed with a 5" x 7" Cuttlebug folder of bamboo.

Thank you for visiting. May God bless you and yours with good health!

Happy Healing Card with Boo-Boo Birdie

Tomorrow our scrapbook club is meeting at the church. One of my friends had foot surgery two weeks ago and plans on coming. Here's a card I made for her. The image was perfect for foot and crutches. This image is from Doodle Pantry and is called Boo-Boo Birdie & Ants.

Inside:

The sentiments and papers were also part of this digi set.

 

Both of the oval dies used are from Spellbinders Nestabilities. The brads were from CTMH and the flowers were Recollections. I pop dotted the sentiment on top of an organdy ribbon that was knotted.

I used this lovely sketch at Hanna and Friends.

Doodle Pantry's St. Bernard Buddy Get Well Card

Happy New Year! Today is a day to celebrate, make resolutions, eat black-eyed peas, and make new plans. May God bless you and yours with love, health, joy, peace, and prosperity in 2014!

It's also the day of a new release of images at Doodle Pantry! I chose to use St. Bernard Buddy to create a get well card. Our area has finally been hit by the flu - mostly swine flu. I may need lots of get well cards! This set had such a fun nurse-looking dog and appropriate sentiment that it was perfect. I used the matching red patterned paper that came with the set.

I used two Spellbinders Nestabilities dies for the scalloped and lacy ovals and the design from A Die for a Sketch challenge.  Sadly, it's their last sketch, so you may want to join in to show your support and say farewell:

Since one of our daughters is a nurse, I can see birthday cards using this same image. Here are the rest of the images included in this set.

PSC68 - CAS Get Well Card

We've been experiencing a blizzard since last night. Since we live in the country, surrounded by pastures, the wind has blown some of our snow into five foot drifts. The power has been off for a while, so I'm keeping this post short in case it goes off again. The best part about blizzards is that I get to stay inside and watch large numbers of different birds huddling in my wisteria and feeding at our patio bird feeders.

The worst aspect of this huge snowstorm is that people will still become ill and need to go to the hospital when the roads are sometimes impassable. This morning I awoke praying for the ambulance drivers and others who are gravely ill. One of our daughters is a nurse at a dialysis facility. People go there all day and all night to get life-saving dialysis, blizzard or not. So "get well" thoughts and prayers have really been on my mind today. This card perfectly fits my thoughts today.

Our challenge at The Perfect Sentiment Challenge 68:

CREATE A CARD WITH A SENTIMENT OF GET WELL (THESE EXACT WORDS DO NOT HAVE TO BE USED) AND MAKE IT CLEAN AND SIMPLE.

Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps, who is providing a generous $10 voucher for one lucky winner.

The stamp I used is Stitchy Bear's "Under the Weather." I embossed most of the card front with raindrops, colored the printed image with Copics and die cut it off center with a Spellbinder's Nestabilities label, slicing off the left side. I stippled a little Indian Corn Blue ink on the image before pop dotting it on the card. I typed my sentiment in Word and attached it on the bottom with the gingham ribbon between the sentiment and the image. All very simple.

Some Get Well Humor

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Proverbs 17:22

 

 

Here's a card I made for someone in the hospital this weekend. I used a Clear Dollar Stamps digi set that had so many cute sentiments. It's called "Happy Healing."  I started with this fun sketch from Sketch Saturday, Week 240.

 

 

 

 

I cut a heart freehand from one of the glittery pineapples on the paper that had lots of fruit. I matted it on a red cardstock, matted that on pink, then another red, cutting around each freehand again.

 

 

I signed the card saying that I'm sending her hugs, smiles, and prayers that she'll soon be better. I'm a firm believer that it takes all three!

Our Daily Bread Designs Get Well

This week the challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs for Shining the Light is a color challenge. Pink and black/gray can be such an elegant color combination, maybe too elegant for my get well card, but maybe not if it's also a wish that God bless you. I've become a firm believer that we should bless our children and family members as well as our friends. Great men of the Bible blessed others which serves as an example for us. Here's a great article from Focus on the Family about blessing your children.

I think it's like a prayer for God's blessing for them.  I like to handwrite blessings inside my cards when I give them. I don't worry about the fact that I hate my handwriting. I've finally come to the conclusion that it's part of me so that makes it even more personal. (Of course I never told my students that messy was OK when I was teaching handwriting!)

I used the elegant sketch from the Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge 67. 

I used the stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs in the Get Well set. I stamped the butterfly corner swirls/flourishes twice, in opposite corners.  I stamped again on a scrap of the Baby Pink cardstock in black to cut out a butterfly to put on the corner flower embellishment. The fun part was tracing over the dotted swirls and end point dots with a glitter gel pen and adding bitty pearls to the bodies of the butterflies. The white background was embossed to go with the black patterned paper.

May God bless you as you bless others with words of encouragement!

Here are the challenges I used for this card:
Crafty Calender Challenge - Things with Wings
Deep Ocean Challenge #26 - Swirls

Building Up Others with Kind Words

One of my goals in making cards is to encourage or build up others. When I hear of a prayer request they have, I've always tried to pray for them, but I've become even more concerned that the individual, not just God, hears my words to build them up. This morning my son called before work with a request for prayer about a job that their new company needed that seemed to be in limbo. I shared Jeremiah 29:11 with him that God knows the plans He has for them, plans to prosper them, not to harm them. I told him to go in to work today, look up the scripture on his computer and share it with the other young guys in his company. He called later to thank me that the job came through and that he had shared it with two other young men. God's Word is so powerful for building up others!

For my card I used the Colour Create Challenge #96 to use green, brown, white, and a touch of lavendar and purple. When I read that I envisioned flowering trees that recently bloomed in our area. The challenge this week at Stampin' Sisters in Christ used this verse with a wonderful devotional:

Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

The card challenge was to build up our card using layers, paper tole,  paper piecing, or stacking flowers, etc.  I made a get well card by using an embossing folder to make branches, embossing it again on brown and green to cut out branches and a few of the leaves to stack for even more dimension. I even overlapped two of those leaves over the ribbon. I stacked brown velvet ric rac on top of brown gingham ribbon. I stacked flowers putting white punched flowers on top of a lavendar ones and putting a lavendar brad in the middle. My verse from Jeremiah 30:17 was stamped with pansy purple ink and double matted with brown and lavendar. With the embossing, paper piecing, stacking and pop dots, my card also fits the challenge at Creative Card Crew for using Dimension, one of my favorite things to do.

 May God build you up and bless your heart each time you hear or read His word and may He use you to encourage others the same way!

Feel Better Soon

Here's a bright, cheery get well card inspired by the following three challenges. Perfect Sentiments Challenge today wants us to make a get well card using words other than "get well." DYSU Challenge is "Circles," so I used the paper from Lime Rickey and made some circle embossed paper, too. The wonderful sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, #34, incorporates a circle so it was the perfect choice.

I inked a brayer with Cranberry Ink and rolled it over the side of the Cuttlebug folder that has writing. (I call it the top.) Then I embossed the Sunflower paper as usual, being careful not to shift the paper against the ink. The rest of the papers and the row of stickers come from the Basic Grey Lime Rickey collection. The flower is from CTMH. The stamp is from Verve. Thanks for looking!
