You know how the saying goes…"Accidents can happen"…well this is exactly what has happened to my dear hubbie! In advance, if my posts do not have the Susan regular flair…I am going to have my hands full…but the BEST news is he is doing great and will be just fine…just a long road to recovery!
I thought that this card would be appropriate to let him know…I love him and hope the recovery is fast…he is a super fit person and he will be back to himself in no time! You might be getting tired of seeing "hope you feel better soon" cards….but I promise they will be cute!
Do you notice a "FUN" factor of this card…it's a strange size…you know I love odd size cards and now that we have the Envelope Punch Board….wowzers – what a time saver!!! The simple instructions that are right on the plate make it super fast….ZOOM!!!
Here is some quick and easy scoop for you….I say – CASE away on this one…as we never know when we need a cute card like this! It simply can't get an easier card than this…as I say – "It's a keeper"
- The card size is 3" X 7", therefore you paper size is 6" X 7" and scored at the 3" mark! The color is Very Vanilla.
- The "Band-Aid" was made from Crumb Cake…4 1/2" X 1 1/4" – run it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing folder! I sponged the edges in Soft Suede to give it some dimension! TIP ALERT – use the corner rounder on the Envelope Punch Board!!!
- The sentiment came from the Tag It Stamp Set…remember when you purchase this stamp set, Stampin' Up! will donate $3.00 to the Ronald McDonald House. A win-win for both of us! Did you notice the brackets around the stamp are not there? I simple masked them, then inked up the image…peeled the masking off and presto!
- The teeny tiny heart came from the Owl Builder Punch…I really thought that this was a silly punch but I am amazed at how often I use it…I found a super cute Owl card to CASE later this week!
- The piece of very vanilla that the band aid is on is 2 3/4" X 6 3/4" and then did you notice the difference a simple score line adds…simple, fast yet effective! This is using the Simply Scored Tool.
- The matting of the Early Espresso is just a "smidge" larger just to let the WOW factor happen!
- WOOT-WOOT….it's envelope time! I get sooo darn tootin' excited to make my own envelope! Following the guide for a 3 X 7 card…it told me to start with a 8 1/4" square piece of paper and punch at 2 3/4" and score…..all the way around! Love this Envelope Punch Board!
- TIP ALERT! You will need to use a ruler to cut off some of the excess…it's the "type A" in me that likes things nice and tidy!
- I lined the outside of the envelope with the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper…perfect finishing touch! This is a beautiful paper collection!
This card came together by the time I came home….fed the dogs….let them out….and back to the hospital! It really is super fast and a sweet card!
Unfortunately there are times that we need a boo-boo card….I hope this inspires you! Let me know how you like it!
In my opinion, having an odd size card creates and interest even before they open up to see the card…it's like the feeling you get when you see a strange size box at Christmas!
Have a fabulous day….thanks for popping by and tomorrow is a Pals Paper Art Challenge….how about playing along this week!
Until tomorrow!
Such a creative card while you were dealing with the stress of an injured husband! I’m doubly impressed! The bandaid is super cute and the scoring along the edges of the white paper really is a nice touch!

This Band-Aid is just awesome!!! I loved the little band-aid in the Sale-a-bration set and was hoping it would stick around, but this is so much better, it will never retire!
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery!
Thank you for sharing.
My hubby also has a big BOO-BOO! He tore his Achilles Tendon. I will be CASE-ing this card for sure! Best wishes for a speedy RECOVERY!
Great card! Love all the details. O.k. I gotta ask – what happened to your husband? I hope all will be well soon. I think his nurses etc will get a kick out of the card as well. I know I love it! Hugs to you if your husband is anything like mine when in the hospital!
I hope your husband is on the mend! I may CASE your card for a friend who is having major surgery this morning. He would enjoy this! TFS
