Friendly Foliage, Everyday Arches, Get Well Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I just loved the layout and I had the set so I thought I'd give it a try. You can see the original card by clicking here.  Please read on to see how the card was made. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Perennial Lavender" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the front of the card.

Using a piece of Basic White card stock and the 4th largest die from the "Everyday Arches" set I cut the piece and taped it on top of the DSP.

The framed flower image is from the "Friendly Foliage" bundle. I stamped the image using Lost Lagoon ink. I also stamped the small leaf image from the set on a separate piece of Basic White card stock. On the larger piece, I affixed it to a piece from the "Foam Adhesive Sheets" package. I trimmed off any excess sticky parts showing so it doesn't mess up my embossing machine.  The bundle has two dies that go on top of this image. One to cut the outside part and the other to cut the inside. I used post it tape to hold down the piece to cut it out.  Terri has a video on how to cut the piece nicely.  You can see that video by clicking  here. And by the way, her card is stunning.  It's so popular that when you look for "Friendly Foliage" on Pinterest, her card pops up! She gives some great tips on how to cut this out.

Once cut out I removed the backing and set the piece in place about 1/4" from the bottom of the arched piece.

The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink. I cut them out using the smallest arched die in the set. I used glue on the left side and a Dimensional on the right side and set the piece in place.

I added glue to the bottom area of the little leaf piece and set it in place on the small arched piece. 

I had some retired "Faceted Dots" and added them to the front of the card and the card was done. 

I'm pleased with the way this card turned out and I really like this layout.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's get well card,
