Stampin’ Up! Healing Hugs and Angled Plaid Tidings

Good morning!  As you read this, I’m hopefully not even up yet!  ROFL!

Like THAT’LL happen!  I’ll be waking up on the beach on Pawley’s Island – and getting ready for the rehearsal dinner tonight.  Then tomorrow is the Big Day!

Like anyone would, I brought my Mealthy Multi-pot so we can have breakfast at the house – I have plans for steel cut oatmeal today with all the extras and Stuffed French Toast with Blueberries tomorrow!  Yum!!

Oh – in case you’re wondering – this is a calories-don’t-count weekend.  I enacted an Executive Order…

So – card!  I used the Healing Hugs stamp set to make a pretty Get Well card – and I combined it with some Plaid Tidings!  Take a look-see:

This kind of unusual color palette comes from the As You See It challenge this week.

I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock that I embossed in the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and adhered to the front of my Basic Gray card base with Liquid Glue.  Tip: remember that embossing a panel that’s the same size as your card front is a great way to get the look – without actually embossing the front of your card base (which can distort the card stock).  🙂

I matted two pieces of Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ DSP on Flirty Flamingo and adhered them to the front of the card at a jaunty angle with Liquid Glue.

I adhered a Gold Hoop Embellishment to the card front with a couple of Glue Dots.

For the bows – I cut two lengths of the black and white baker’s twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack.  I used my Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend to color one of the pieces.

I tied each piece into a bow and adhered them to the card front with Glue Dots – I offset them a little!

I stamped the Healing Hugs sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Whisper White.  Over top, I stamped the floral image in Petal Pink.  Then I cut it with a Tasteful Labels die.

I popped the sentiment over the bows and hoop with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a single Champagne Rhinestone to the sentiment and a few more here and there around the card front and the card was done!

On the inside, I added a second Healing Hugs sentiment in Tuxedo Black on a Whisper White panel and added the Petal Pink flower over top.  Then I added a Champagne Rhinestone!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat and into the Basic Gray card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Healing Hugs flower in Petal Pink on the front…

… and I added another piece of Plaid Tidings to the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Healing Hugs is such a pretty card with perfect sentiments and sweet images for cards that we have to make – even if we’d rather not need them, right?

I hope you like and that you’ve got this handy set in your stash (AND some Plaid Tidings DSP!!) – if not…get on that, okay?!
