Masculine Get Well Card

Today’s project is a masculine get well card. The men in our lives get sick as well and sometimes you need a quick card to send to someone who has been under the weather.

My intention for this card was to use it as a sympathy card but then I read the greeting again and I reconsidered. I’ll recreate the card using a more fitting greeting on the outside.

Measurements:

• Crumb Cake: 4 ¼” x 11” scored at 5 ½” – this will be your card base; 3 ¾” x 5”
• Early Espresso: 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”
• Very Vanilla: 4” x 5 ¼” (for inside) and scrap for stamping the greeting
• Pear Pizzazz: scrap for die cutting leaves
• Old Olive: scrap for die cutting leaves

Instructions:

1. Run the 3 ¾” x 5” piece of crumb cake cardstock through the big shot using the layered leaves embossing folder.
2. Run it through again, this time cutting out the center of the cardstock with the second largest label shape from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
3. Sponge around the edges of the crumb cake cardstock using early espresso ink.
4. Add this layer to the early espresso cardstock and that to the card front.
5. Stamp the ‘sending healing hugs’ greeting on the scrap of vanilla cardstock using early espresso ink.
6. Die cut it using the second smallest label shape from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
7. Sponge around the edges with espresso.
8. Using dimensionals, add the greeting to the center of the card front.
9. Die cut the leaves from old olive cardstock using the double leaf die from the Birthday Dies.
10. Die cut the berries from the pear pizzazz cardstock using the double berry die from the Birthday Dies.
11. Tuck one of each of these in behind the greeting, in the upper left and lower right part of the greeting.
12. Tie a bow from bakers twine and add it to the card front.
13. Sponge around the edges of the vanilla inside layer and add it to the inside of the card.

Have a creative day!
