A Get Well card for a wounded policeman

 Since the war has begun, 11 days ago, I'm in a creative block. Just can't create.

But yesterday I went the hospital to visit a wounded policeman, who bravery fought Hamas terrorists, and saved another policman's live.

So I made this very CAS card for him. The stamp, whit the saluting soldeir image,  says 'We salute you', and the sentiment on the bottom says 'Quick Recovery'.

I'm really not in a mood for crafting. This card was already made last night, and I'm posting it only now.

It was inspired by the colors in The Color Throwdown:

And by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches:

Addicted to stamps and more - die cut and/or stencil:

Thank you for all you do - a card with scalloped banners

 

This 'Thank You' card is the 3rd 'pay it forward' card I've made (you can see the 1st and the 2nd), this time in yellow tones, with some kraft.

I die cut nesting scalloped banners and adhered them on the pp (which had a big white banner in the middle).

I really love the 'Thank You' font! so whimsical (Doodlebug design 'many thanks' stamps).

A heart full of thanks card

This is my 2nd card today, and also 2nd in the 'pay it forward' cards I'm making (you can see the 1st one HERE).

The pp had a big white heart, and I die cut a smaller heart in the middle of that white heart, and matted the pp with a mango cardstock.

From the die cut heart, I die cut a smaller heart, and inked it with distress oxide ink (saltwater taffy), and stamped the sentiment in the middle (it says Thank You! in Hebrew).

I adhered the small heart to the middle of the bigger heart with foam tape, and added some mat enamel dots in mango color, to match the inside of the heart.

I followed, loosely, the sketch from My Favorite Things challenge, replacing the hexagon with the heart:

A 'pay it forward' thank you card

 Along with my latest purchase, the dear shop owner gifted me with some 12x12 journaling cards pages.

I felt so grateful for this lovely gift, and decided to 'pay it forward'. The shop owner operates a 'happy cards' donation to a hospital. The cards can be with any sentiment, and they'll be given to both patients and staff. Isn't it just a lovely thing to do?

For the first card, I stamped some leaves in dark bluish gray (weathered wood distress oxied ink), and other with dried marigold distress oxide. I then stamped tiny leaves here and there, with aged mahogany distress ink, and used the same ink for the sentiment (Thanks in Hebrew).

I then distressed the edges with this redish ink and placed the panel on a white basis.
