I wanted to create a special card as a thank you to my sister, Susan (a gift card is tucked inside). When I recently traveled to Madison, I was still recovering from the flu. Susan graciously nursed me back to health with lots of HGTV, herbal tea and “cheesy potatoes.” Wonderful medicine!

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- I cropped about 3/4″ of an inch off the front right of the card base to expose the Very Vanilla card stock behind.

- The Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder left a sweet cross stitch pattern on the exposed edge.
- A 3/16″ Corner Punch adds a quick and simple detail.

- A punched heart and pearl are a charming way to bring the coffee “steam” to life.

Were these your famous cheesy potatoes? That will do the trick to make you better. I have been down with the nasty flu for 6 days now and just starting to feel better. I wish your sis was here to nurse me back to health. Glad you’re feeling better.
Beautiful card, I’m sure your sister will love it. The embossed cross stitching adds that extra little something that makes it stand out as unique and very special.
Love the spring colors….and anything that hints at coffee. hahaha
Whoohoo for Madison! 🙂
