Get Well Soon

Some CAS (Clean and Simple) cards for illness.  I need to stock up on them as much as I need to go ahead and make holiday cards...lol

I need to do more "makin'" than "lookin'" because I think this is a case of a Lawn Fawn card.  I enjoy using this little set Get Well.  It's cute, yet I can make a little masculine when needed.  I've gotten my money's worth out of this set.

A2, acrylic bubbles, flower punch, stitching, pop-ups for dimension, glossy Accents
I doubled the sentiment for extra thickness

I was suppose to put "white" sentiment" and goofed...oh well
Yup, I made 4 but all with different backgrounds.

Congratulations Bryan

Bryan, our oldest son, graduated from the Citadel some years past.  Since then, he has married a wonderful young lady, has a 14 month old little girl, and is now graduating  tomorrow from Clemson Univsersity with another degree...this time in nursing, a BSN.  He will work in Critical Care (some type of ICU) for one year and then enter Anesthesiology School. (Well, he's hoping to be accepted.) He wants to become a Nurse Anesthetist.  Shannon, his wife, is a nurse anesthetist.  I hope that means I get good care in my old age....haha

So...here is my card.  I think he will like this fun card over a more serious one I first had in mine. I left the images "just as they are"....no coloring.  The rest of the card is pretty much self explanatory.  All the images are AKV Male Nurses from Bugaboo Stamps...precious!

A2, stitching, Clemson colors

The Perfect Shot (Warning: Racy!)

My "in-law" is a huge camera buff.  During the next 6 weeks I continue creating fun, uplifting cards for him.  I used Bugaboo Stamps "Sassy Gal Nurse" image.  I used a Silhouette Store camera file and added my own embellishments to it. I made a strap from leather strips. It has silver buttons, but looks black in the photo. ( I checked with his daughter and wife regarding the image before starting and they loved it..so it's a go..haha)

A2 size, SU window punch, leather strap

stethoscope  embellishment, copics

OBG (Oldie But Goodie) Day

Raggedy Nurse was the perfect image for my project.  I have a friend who's a nurse and she herself has been "under the weather".  I enclosed all types of wonderful aromatic teas, a small container of honey, and some Biscotti cookies.  I figured she could pass it on to a sick friend, being she's a nurse.

With my wonderful Cameo, I cut out my 3D teapot from Silhouette.  This one is rather large so there was lots of room inside for goodies.

I accidentally forgot to color hair for photo, so I have also included the touch-up on raggedy nurse.  Head over to Catch The Bug and see other fun "oldie but goodies".

You number is up....next!

Yup....here's your ticket to get your mammogram.  Actually, I don't think the gowns are quite this cute and you don't actually get to wear ALL of it at once.  Ladies...you know what I'm talking about.  I would rather get a mammogram than go to the dentist.  Anyhoooo, here's Stella Nurse from Bugaboo Stamps handing you the gown.

Nurse Angel (+ freebie svg)

        I couldn't resist the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge for the chance to win some Bugaboo images, working with a fun template, getting so much inspiration from the DT members and the Bugaboo image was perfect to create a card for my future DIL who's a nurse anesthetist....she could send it to a friend or family member. I added diamond glaze to the medicine bag after I took the picture. ( Also entering the Do you Stack Up and Sew Many Cards challenge.)

5x5, stitching, nestabilities, copics

Silly simple medicine bag

(I made 3 tiny ones to put where the three circles are on the card for something different.)

Sew Many Cards:  Green with Envy

Moms Wear Many Hats

         The card was made for a Mother's Day card swap at Svgcuts.com.  My theme: "The many hats that moms wear".   I attempted to give it a foyer appearance.  I made all the svgs in Inkscape except for the purse (Paula's Boutique) and the flower (My Happy Garden Hideaway) collections purchased from Svgcuts.com and the wonderful table is by Paulo at Scale-Files. (You can't see the gold handles in the picture.) Download HERE (hat rack), the nurse's cap HERE, and the chef's hat  HERE.  There is some embossing and glitter on the purse and hat, but it's hard to see in the picture.  I hope you enjoyed looking.
