I created two cards that capture the warmth and playfulness of this release!

Feel Better Fast – Card Kit of the Month

For my first card, I used the You’re Souper Stamp Set from the Card Kit of the Month. I stamped the soup pot, lid, and vegetables with Intens-ified Black Ink and added color to the soup with Pale Tomato and Pumpkin Core Ink. The pot’s accent stripes are also stamped in Pumpkin for a cohesive look.

Once the images were colored with alcohol markers, I die cut everything using the coordinating dies. I cut the hands from Fawn Cardstock using the Big Squishy Hugs Dies, then added a strip of Saffron Cardstock along the bottom of my card to create a table surface.

I arranged the scene, popping up the pot and a few vegetables with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment “feel better fast” (from the same set) was stamped in Intens-ified Black Ink just below the pot to tie it all together. This card has such a sweet, nurturing feel—perfect for sending a little comfort to someone who needs it.

Sending a Cup of Love – Stamp & Cut and Cling of the Month

For my second card, I paired the Cup of Love Stamp & Cut with the Dotty Cling background. I stamped the noodle cup, lid, chopsticks, and sentiment in Intens-ified Black Ink and used Cherry Core Ink for the circular accent on the cup. The noodles and chopsticks were colored with alcohol markers before die cutting everything with the coordinating dies.

For the background, I stamped the Dotty Cling in Cherry Core Ink onto a white A2 card base for a fun, playful look. Then I die cut two hearts—one from Saffron Cardstock and one from Cinnamon Cardstock—using the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies.

I layered the hearts in the center, adhered the cup with foam squares, and finished with the sentiment “Sending a Cup of Love.” This card came together so easily and adds a cheerful twist to a classic get-well or encouragement card.
