BACK ON YOUR FEET

I am back today with another of my swap cards that I prepared for the Stampin Up On-Stage event being held in Atlanta, Georgia.  I am getting so excited to see all the new products being revealed.  But this card uses a really cute stamp set from the Stampin Up Annual Catalog called Back On Your Feet.  I love the adorable little animals in this stamp and the get-well sentiments are just perfect.

Isn’t this little turtle too cute?  Ok so for the card.  I started with a basic card base that was created from Whisper White cardstock that measured 5 ½ x 8 ½” and was scored at 4 ¼”.  I then added a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” (TIP:  cut your Granny Apple Green mat for your turtle and sentiment from this layer before adhering it to the card base.  No one can see where you cut it and it is a great way to save some paper).  Next I cut a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and embossed it with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder.  I use a sponge and added a little Crumb Cake ink across this layer to make the embossing show up even more. 

Next, I stamped my little turtle from the Back On Your Feet stamp set on to a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I then cut that out using the 4^th largest Square from the Layering Squares dies (I have to say these squares, the ovals and the circles from the Layering dies are some of my most used tools).  I then colored him in using the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers (I used the following combos:  Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Granny Apple Green) these markers make shading and blending a breeze.  I then layered this onto the Granny Apple Green mat that I cut out of the first layer using the 4^th largest of the scalloped squares (also from that Layering Squares dies).

Now for the sentiment, I stamped this cute sentiment (also from the Back On Your Feet set) onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Granny Apple Green ink and cut it out using the 2^nd smallest oval from the Layering Ovals dies.  I then matted that onto the scalloped oval that I cut from that second layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the 2^nd smallest of the scalloped dies (also from the Layering Ovals dies).

To finish off the card I simply added the turtle and sentiment to the front as shown in the photo (I wanted my turtle to be a little tipped) using dimensionals for height and interest.  There you have it, a simple get-well card that is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

As always you can find all of the products used to make this card and many more projects on my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog or the photo of the product below.  I hope you enjoyed this card.
