Well. It’s happened again. It’s Friday! Whoo-hooo!! Hope you’ve got a good weekend coming up.
Just a PSA – today is the LAST DAY to “cash” in on my Double Peppermints Ordering Special. Don’t miss out, okay? That is all.
A friend of mine recently took a spill and, in a split-second decision, opted to land on her knee instead of her noggin. Which – while a good plan in the big scheme of things, still HURT like crazy! So – I needed a good-for-a-smile get well card. I think the images in Back on Your Feet are just the thing, don’t you? And I put my guy in the Tropics – courtesy of the new Tropical Oasis Suite. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge – although I cheated the sentiment placement…
I started with some Tropical Oasis DSP – I think this one is leading the pack for my fave new DSP!! – that I matted on Terracotta Tile for the card front. Then I took a second design and matted it on Terracotta Tile to create the DSP strip.
For the art, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the too-cute sloth in Soft Suede ink on Whisper White. I colored the image with my Soft Suede and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combos. I used a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the lid of my Terracotta Tile ink pad to color the bandage.
I added “ouch” in Terracotta TIle, then matted the panel and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used some SNAIL to adhere two pieces of Terracotta Tile 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon.
On Whisper White, I stamped the small flower and the leaf from Timeless Tropical in Soft Suede. I colored the flower with my Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Combo – and my Blender Pen with Terracotta TIle. The leaf is colored with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo. I cut them with their dies in the Timeless Tropical Dies.
I sponged some Old Olive on a piece of Pear Pizzazz and then cut three of the leaves in the Timeless Tropical dies.
Then I built the collage.
I popped the large leaf on with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Next, I made a double-loop with some Linen Thread – twisted it into a figure-8 and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Then I added the flower with a Dimensional. I tucked the leaves in here and there with Liquid Glue.
I finished with a Terracotta Tile Faceted Gem (annual catalog) in the middle of the flower and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second Back on Your Feet sentiment in Terracotta Tile on a Whisper White panel. In the corner, I stamped the small flower in Soft Suede. I also stamped the image on a sticky note and fussy cut it to create a mask. I covered the flower on the panel with the mask and added the leaf a few times. The images are colored just like I did on the front – and I added another Terracotta Tile Faceted Dot.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Terracotta Tile mat and into my Soft Suede card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another flower and leaves on the front…
…and a little more Tropical Oasis DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I feel pretty sure this will bring a smile, which is always the point of a get-well card, right? The cute images and sweet sentiments in Back on Your Feet are punny-ly fun and yet convey that we care! And Tropical Oasis – the Timeless Tropical stamp set, In the Tropics dies and Tropical Oasis DSP…well. This is fast becoming my favorite suite in the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog! I hope you like!

HOST CODE FOR 1 JAN – 15 JAN: B3JD39GG

The free gift is your choice of any item valued up to $10.00 in any active Catalog! That includes some of the Host Exclusive stamp sets! See my Rewards page for full details.
**Please note: Due to an increased number of orders that I’ve recently been receiving that have been in the $10-$20 range, I’ve had to change my host code reward to include only orders of $50+. Unfortunately, it’s not fair to those who are ordering $50+ and there are not enough host $$ generated from orders under $50 to cover the $10 gifts. Therefore, I won’t be able to continue to offer that bonus on every order. Thanks for your understanding!

Finn Fan Fix
Finn has a bit of a…Licker….problem. In that – he can’t hold his licker. 😉
He has no control when it comes to anything that might contain a whiff, trace or smidge of food.
He doesn’t even care what that food is…steak…salmon…broccoli…
But – every licker-holic needs an enabler.
I present…the Deatherage Enabler.

Sweet card! Love the pretty background paper and flower. I’m sure that neither Wayne nor Finn has any idea what you’re talking about or who you might be referring to. 😉
No – they’re totally innocent of any and all wrong-doing! Thanks much, Amy! 🙂
What a fantastic card. It will bring a big smile. Your design is great and it’s a winner in my book! Love the moment you captured with two guilty parties.
Yep – red hand/pawed! Thanks very much, Karen! 🙂
Mary, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card!! I was already loving the stamp set but the Tropical paper is perfect with it. Adding the flower…. also perfect.
Hope you don’t mind, I will be CASEing this one.
Isn’t it fun how well that Tropical Oasis paper works!?? Thanks much, Gerri – CASE at will! 🙂
Oh Mary!
How I love the Finn tales! I always look for the latest antics at the end of your blog posts.
Thanks for being you!
