Crabby Get Well Soon

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  I know I have been gone for a couple of weeks!  My youngest daughter turned four and life had me very busy!  I've missed making cards so much!!!!  But thankfully I am back!  Today I'm going to show you how I made this "crabby" get well soon card.  I made this card for the get well soon Lawn Fawnatics Challenge!
 


So I wanted to do a unique get well card for this challenge as well as get into some of the new Lawn Fawn stamp sets and dies I had purchased, that I had not gotten to use yet.  I was inspired by a thank you card I had made for my daughter's birthday, which I will be blogging soon too.  I used the palm tree die set to make a cute island scene.  I just have to say the crab is so cute!!!!  I mean adorable!

I used the largest of the small stitched circle stackables from lawn fawn to create my Island.  I just cut one out of bazzil craft cardstock and then cut that in half with my trimmer.  My new trick when gluing down cardstock is to leave part of the image free to add dimension.  So in this scene I glued down the base of the palm trees and left the top parts free.  With the crab I glued down his body but left his claws free and even pointed them up so he could juggle the coconuts as seen below.

Next I used the plane and simple stamps and dies.  I used the clouds and put smiles on them too!  I colored them in with my Zig real brush markers (light blue) and used my cuddlebug to cut them out.

Next I used bannertastic and Sophie's sentiments to make my get well message.

Then when I was done with all of that I assembled my card and had a really cute get well card!  Hope you enjoyed this card tutorial.  Come back soon to see more!  Below you will find list of supplies and a plug for my favorite scrapbook store.  There you will be able to shop online, if you so choose, for most of the supplies I have used to make this card.
