One of my all time favorite stamps to send when someone is recovering from an illness or a surgery is an old wooden stamp by Memory Box. I think I picked it up at Impress Stamps in Seattle on my first trip to Seattle over 20 years ago. Sadly, Impress Stamps now exists only online, but I managed to visit their remaining store a year ago in September and brought home a little stash of great stamps and tons of inspiration from all the cards they displayed around the store.
When I saw the challenge at Inkspirational: Frame It, I knew just what I wanted to do.
This is a more feminine version of the get well card than I usually create. This makes a great masculine card done on kraft paper with a plaid chair cover.
Although I could have chosen a floral pattern for the paper piecing I really liked the simple stripes with the bright red cup of tea.
The white frame is Papertrey Ink’s “Pierced Frames.” I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the red cup. The sentiment is also from a Papertrey Ink set, “On My Couch: Additions” and the inside reads “Hoping you’re fully ‘Re-covered” soon!”
Who wouldn’t be thrilled to receive that classy card with such a lovely message.
Clever puns and love the paper piecing!
That chair stamp would have so many uses in all kinds of good wishes. A very nice card.
Love this.
Very striking and stylish – love it. Thanks for joining in at Inkspirational Challenges.
Very neat – how stylish and clever! It would surely make me smile if it popped through my letterbox. The little pop of red is perfect.
