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'.

One of the Weekly Fav

at Color Throwdown

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).

I was inspired both by the sketch and by the colors.

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.

Challenges:

I used orange, apricot, dark red and dark bluish gray.

Retro Rubber Challenge #216 - tic tac toe:

I used the middle vertical row - patterned paper, leaves (as my choise) and circles. I have the sentiment stamp I think for more than 5 years, and the leaves stamps are about 2 years old.

Scraps of scraps of scraps cas cards

The pile of scraps is overloaded, and I had to reduce it.

For the 1st card, I trimmed stripes, 1/4" each, in blue and green tones, and adhered them to a white cardstock. 

I trimmed the excess (which provided a nice colored stripes for the 2nd card), and double matted it with black and gold cardstocks.

I die cut the leaves from a white cardstock scrap, leaving some of the inside die cuts, to make it more interesting, and adhered it to the colored panel.

I used more scraps on the back of the panel, for some dimension,  instead of using foam tape, and adhered it to the white basis.

I wanted to keep it as flat as possible, so I didn't add any other embellishment.

I adhered the sentiment sticker (which says, in Hebrew 'Quick Recovery').

As I mentioned before, I was left with colored stripes, so I cut the edges to form a banner stripes, adhered them to a kraft panel, and then matted it with a black cardstock.

Again I used a sticker for my sentiment, and added some star stickers too.

I think the pile of scraped is just slightly reduced, so more work need to be done with those scraps...

Get Well, We Love you - a cas pink card

 I made this card using only solid cardstocks, in pink tones and white.

It's a 'Get Well' card, and the sentiment, a sticker, says, in Hebrew: 'Speedy Recovery, We love you!'.

I really like the bandais I've created, using embossing folder and punches.

It goes for the following challenges:

Speedy Recovery card - CTD meets FMS

 A card I made for two challenges:

Color Throwdown #717 - pink, mustard and green:

At first, this color combination was quite a challenge for me, but then I went for a flowery theme, and it came very easily. In the photo, the 3 small flowers looks a little orange, but IRL thery're much more yellowish than in the photo.

Freshly Made Sektches #560 - a lovely sketch. The circle can be replaced by any shape:

I added the thin strip of mustrad plaid between the two rectangles, as I felt that on my card, the gap really needed it.

The sentiment is a sticker, and it says, in Hebrew: "Always keep your smile, Speedy recovery".

A 'Get Well Soon' card, in warm colors

Honorable Mention at Fusion

On a local FB group, we make and donate cards for a hospital. Usually, there's no limitaion on the sentiment, but this time we were asked to make 'Get Well' cards. 

I used the sketch, only the sketch, from Fusion Card Challenges:

I wanted my card to be with a warm scene, so I stamped the brush strokes in an orange palette. I then stamped over the brush strokes a sketched flower, tied a twine and added a few golden sequins. The sentiment is a sticker.

I was also inspired by the orange/brown cupcakes photo at Cupcake Inspiration:
