I got the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for Christmas from Stampin’ Up and have opened Days 1 and 2 which gave me some great dies that go with the Stamp set that came with it and some beautiful paper, so I made this get well card with what I have received too far. The floral paper is just striking, along with the pink brushed paper.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar (Day 2) designer series paper (2025 Stampin’ Up)
- 12 Days of Crafting Advent Caledar stamp set and dies (Day 1) (2025 Stampin’ Up)
- Label die of choice about 3” in length
- 2024-26 In Color Resin Dots (2024-26 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- Flirty Flamingo ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From a piece of Old Olive cards stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card. With a piece of white card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar – Day 2 designer series paper, find the pink painted looking piece and the pink floral piece and cut one of each to 17/8” x 5” and then each at 2” to form your four block pieces.
Adhere one of your white pieces to the front of your card and then adhere your four block pieces to the white piece spacing evenly with the two small pieces to the top and the longer pieces to the bottom, staggering so that the florals are in opposite corners.
Take a spare piece of white cards stock on your Flirty Flamingo ink and stamp the large flower, first stamping off (stamp once) and then stamping your flower so that is is a lighter pink color. Use the die from the Day 1 dies to cut out the flower. Stamp the flower center in full Flirty Flamingo ink so it stands out. From scrap Old Olive use the leaf die from Day 1 to cut out three of the small leaves and adhere to the back of your flower. Now stamp the “Healing Hugs” greeting to the lower right side of your label on an angle. Then adhere your cut out flower with pop dots to the left side of your label. Use some of the 2024-26 Resin Dots to decorate the upper right side of your label. Now adhere your label to the front of your card evenly over the center point of your blocks.
For the inside of your card take the second piece of white card stock you cut and stamp the “Thinking of you” greeting in Flirty Flamingo ink in the upper center. Then stamp off the larger flower again and stamp slightly off of your paper sides three times. For those where the center is showing stamp in full ink the flower centers. Adhere this to the inside of your card.
This bright and cheery get well card would brighten anyone’s day who isn’t feeling their best.
