Happy birthday and get well soon...

I made these two cards recently, using a wavy sentiment die that covers the seam of the two patterns of DSP. This time, however, I chose not to put a sentiment on the wavy die-cut, but to add it on a separate die-cut, instead.

The leafy sprigs were die-cut, glued directly to the card front and embellished with a twine bow.

The sentiments were stamped, die-cut, matted and popped up with foam squares.

This picture shows the sentiment I stamped on the inside with a leafy sprig embelishment.

You've probably noticed that these two cards have the opposite patterns at the top and bottom. That's because I cut a 4" X 5 1/4" panel of each pattern, stacked them, and then cut them together, having traced the wavy line onto the back of one of them. Then I did a little switcheroo so that each card had one piece of each pattern. And they fit together perfectly!

I stamped my favorite "get well" sentiment on the inside of this card. We all want restful recoveries, don't we?

Another tiny sprig was used as an embellishment.

This particular layout would be great for Christmas cards, too. I can see using a die-cut poinsettia or jingle bells or greenery with a pinecone in place of the leafy sprigs.

Thanks so much for stopping by and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
