World Cardmaking Day + a Giveaway...

Happy World Card Making Day!!!! Yay for this fluffy made-up holiday! Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the fun of today, I just laugh at how seriously we all take card making, right? :) 


I don't know about you and yours, but we have already been introduced to the cold and flu season. While I was down & out I thought I'd take the time to pre-make some get-well/better cards. I know how nice it is to receive such a little lovely when I'm under the weather. So this little collection was born. I wanted them all to be "mailable", you know, not too "bumpy". I adore them. I used a retired SU! stamp set for these, sorry! But be sure to scroll to the bottom for a chance to get a piece of this paper crafted goodness...
Three happy get-well cards, served on a silver platter...
I adore paper piecing, I once called it "coloring with card stock".
I added a tiny punched hear to this stamped image, feelin' the love? :)

The bandaid is stamped on patterned paper, then embossed. And there's that tiny heart again!

Now for the giveaway.....
I have a set of these cards and envelopes I'd LOVE to send you in celebration of today.

Just leave a comment on this post telling me how you
cheer yourself-up when you get the sickies in your house.
I need all the ideas I can get!
p.s. if you aren't already a follower of my blog, and you'd like to be...
follow me and then add that tidbit to your comment and I'll enter you twice!

  2. I have this photo saved in my FAV File--LOVE LOVE LOVE this card set! You are super clever! Happy WCMD:)

    As for when we are sick....actually...I'm the only one who gets sick in our house! I am always with a migraine or falling over or with 30 mosquito bites/etc....and my husband lays with me on the couch and rubs my back to help me feel better. He is so sweet:)

  4. We just spoil the "sickie" and buy them comfort foods (saltines, 7-Up, homemade chicken noodle soup), and let them have complete access to the remote. LOL

  5. Your cards are SO adorable! Hate that you are feeling under the weather. Hopefully by now you are on the mend. When I get sick, I indulge in sweet hot tea and cinnamon toast. Something my mom always made for us when we were kids. Feel better soon!!

  6. Hi. Lovely cards! Your blog is a big inspiration for me:)
    When I have a bad mood I make hot chocolate and try to read book or some magazine (if my little daughter let me:)
