Thinking of You Card | CraftyPaws

There are some friends who are always uplifting to your spirit, even if they are going through terrible times. I don’t mean they are Pollyanna’s; they are realistic and genuine, but they have a natural light that they spread by just being. That is my friend, Sarah. She’s been having a crazy year: let go from a job of over 15 years, selling her home, moving into a 200 year old home that has been “in the works” for almost 2 years and is barely livable, her breaking her arm and shoulder, her husband becoming terribly ill, a daughter who got married out of the blue. Yes, some of these things are blessings or blessings in disguise but many of these things are just plain bad. I wanted to just send her a quick note to let her know what she means to me and that I am thinking of her.

I used the My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies stamp set (which is one of my favorites and seems perfectly suited to craft thinking-of-you cards) to make this CAS (clean and simple) card. I stamped one of the bunnies and teddies off center and softly colored them with the following Copic markers:
Bunny: W0, W1 and R30
Bunny’s T: YR61, E95, Y11 and Y15
Teddy: E51, E21, E31 and R30
Shadow to ground them: C1

Then I die cut the card front panel with the largest of the My Favorite Things STAX Cross-Stitched Die-Namics Rectangle Die Set. That subtle texture around the panel I think adds a nice warm/cozy feel.

Lastly I took a scrap of black card stock and used VersaMark ink to stamp out the sentiment: Today I caught myself smiling. Then I realized I was thinking of you.” I first prepped the card stock with an EK Success anti-static Powder Tool and then used Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder over the stamping. A blast (front and back) with my heat tool, and I ended up with a nice, crisp sentiment to cut out and pop up on foam adhesive.  A yellow mat and then adhering to a yellow-orange card base, and voila!
