Friendship - Right as Rain

Hero Arts | Get Well Soon Card

Hello and happy December! I didn’t expect this card to be quite so fun to make but the Hero Arts Alphabet Soup die set, this month’s Hero Studio Die Set of the Month turned out to be one of those kits that invites you to play. As I built the little bowl of tomato soup, adding the spoon, crackers, and floating letters, I found myself enjoying the scene-building far more than I anticipated. And the black-and-white check patterned paper gave the whole card a warm, kitchen-table charm. And honestly, “Get Well Soon” cards are ones we reach for more often than we think. The card feels nurturing rather than saying, “oh woe, you’re sick.”

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Cut the Alphabet Soup pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and textures. Assemble as necessary and add to the card front.

Spellbinders | Shark Slippers

Hello! After recently creating a cow slipper card, I couldn’t resist returning to the Cozy Toes Friends die set at Spellbinders. For this design, I used the shark face dies and paired them with a sentiment from the Cozy Toes Friends stamp set: “Good friends are like well-loved slippers.” The heart envelope pajamas bring a cheerful pop that complements the shark slippers.

- Cut the shark faces with the Cozy Toes Friends set from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
- Cut the pajamas and slippers with the Cozy Toes Slippers set from cardstock and patterned paper.
- Stamp the Cozy Toes Friends sentiment and cut with a banner die.
- Add assembly to prepared card base.

Spellbinders | Brunch-Themed Friendship Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a playful friendship card created with the Spellbinders November Small Die of the Month set, which is all about brunch! The set includes the cutest breakfast items, each complete with arms, legs, and sweet expressions. I’ve used the waffle, a strip of bacon, and a sunny-side-up egg.
