Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, my sweet friend Claire is hosting our Clean-and-Simple (CAS) Challenge.
Our theme for this challenge is “Get Well” and I’m so happy Claire chose this theme. These are the cards I never seem to have on hand when I need them. We all need a little day brightener, especially when we are not feeling our best, that’s for sure. I sure hope you will get crafty and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create with this fun Theme Challenge!
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
To get started on creating a project for this challenge I had to flip through my stamp sets to first find a sentiment that I liked. I settled on the “Sending Well Wishes” sentiment from the A Fish & A Wish stamp set in the Annual Catalog. I just wasn’t feeling the fish images for my card through. Maybe it’s that I’m ready for Spring to arrive, but I really wanted a bright and cheery bouquet of flowers for this card. The Warm Welcome Bundle from the Mini Catalog was the perfect fit! I just love this set, it’s simple and versatile for so many occasions. Plus the sentiment I wanted to use fit on the label die, so that was an added bonus!
I added one layer to the card base so I could pop on some texture…I know, I can’t believe it’s only ONE layer either. Who AM I? Haha! The rest of the card came together pretty easily with the die-cut images. That itty bitty kitty has to be my favorite part of the scene. She reminds me of my girl Sophie Beatrice with that sweet expression on her little face.

No photo of the inside of the card this week…because I forgot to snap one. Haha! I kept it pretty simple with a Basic White Layer, a little strip of DSP and of course one more stamped kitty. Cats are like potato chips, you can’t just have one. There’s lots of room to write a handwritten note. I actually whipped up a few of these to have on hand, I think they are super-cute and hopefully will brighten the day of the recipient.
