Get Well Wishes card – Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where we have a colour combo to inspire us. I have a made a get-well card for a poorly friend.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the get well wishes card using the following supplies:

Pretty In Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Azure Afternoon – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the two birds with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I also stamped the birds on Post It Notes, cut them out and placed them over the stamped birds to act as masks,

With the masks in place, I stamped the branches with Pecan Pie ink. The masks were then removed and the leaves added in Granny Apple Green ink.

The sentiment, from the Friendly Foliage stamp set was stamped at the bottom of the panel with Azure Afternoon ink. I added the same ink around the image using a Blending Brush. The whole panel was then glued to the Azure Afternoon panel. The whole piece was then mounted onto the Pretty In Pink card front on Dimensionals.

A perching parrot card made using the Pretty Birds and Framed Occasions stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Perching Parrot card

I am loving all the birds, butterflies, dragonflies and bees in my garden at the moment and have made another bird themed card to share with you today featuring a perching parrot.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the perching parrot card, you will need:

Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Tahitian Tide card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”
Scrap Basic White & Tahitian Tide

 

I stamped the sentiment, from the Framed Occasions stamp set, in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card. Using the same ink I stamped the hexagonal frame, from the same stamp set around the sentiment and die cut it using the Beautiful Shapes Dies.

I placed the die cut hexagon onto one of the Basic White panels and drew around the edges lightly with a pencil.

The spay of larger leaves were stamped in Soft Sea Foam ink on either side of the pencilled in hexagon. I added the sprig using Pear Pizzazz ink. The pencil marks were then rubbed out and the sentiment added on Dimensionals. The whole panel was then glued to the Tahitian Tide layer and then to the Pear Pizzazz card front using liquid glue.

The parrot from the Pretty Birds stamp set was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured using Blends Pens. I used Soft Succulent for the head, Parakeet Party for the chest and back and Tahitian Tide for the wing and tail feather. The beak was coloured with Pale Papaya and the little bit above the beak and the feet in Crumb Cake. I used the Birdhouse Dies to die cut the bird and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

From scrap Tahitian Tide card, I die cut a trio of feathers using the Birdhouse Dies and tucked them under the sentiment.

To complete the card I added a trio of 2022-2024 In Color Dots and a bow made using the 2022-2024 In Color Twine.

I absolutely love how this card turned out. So pretty.
