Fixing the "Get Well" Card

Hellooooo! As I had told you on the get well post I didn't like to much how did I wrote "Get Well" (Mejórate). I don't have stamps and I really liked my idea of writing it in onionskin paper so as to be able to make mistakes, I just didn't like my handwriting :P. That's why I decided to carefully remove the onionskin paper that said "Mejórate" (Get Well) and to remake it. I also added other things to the card, and this is how it turned out:

As I told you, I gently removed the onionskin paper that said "Mejórate". The bad thing was that when I wrote that paper I forgot to write the accent and the exclamation mark and then I wrote them directly to the patterned paper which was a big mistake :B!!! Because when I removed the onionskin paper the accent and the exclamation mark stayed in the paper, so I had to cut a rectangle in a green color paper to cover that mistake, because if not it would be seen through the new onionskin paper and it would look horrible.

I removed the phrase because I didn't liked how I had written it (because of my handwriting). So I figured out to write the new phrase in Word in a font I liked and then print it on onionskin paper. It turned out really well!! The truth is that I didn't like "Get Well" because I thought it was too impersonal so I decided to write "I'm glad everything turned out well!". I printed it and cut it; then I pasted it on top of the green rectangle and it looks fantastic :D!

I also did an extra flower and I pasted it next to the other one. I like it much better than the card before! What do you think? :)

Get Well Card!

Some weeks ago one of my aunts had to go on a surgery and I decided to make a "Get well" card for her. I think it turned out really well so I decided (again) to share it with you :)!

What I didn't liked about it is how did the "Mejórate" (Get well) turned out :B. I don't have stamps so I had to write with a marker. But anyway, I will explain you how to make it.

What you will need:

-Paper (for the card).
-Color papers.
-Patterned paper (try to make it match with the other papers).
-Ribbon.
- Raffia.
-Buttons.
-Adhesive.
If you do not have stamps: If you don't have stamps to write "Get Well" you can write directly into the paper, but what I did was to use onionskin paper and a marker and it looked really good!

Instructions:
1) Fold the card paper in three (take a look at the picture below).
2) Cut 2 patterned paper rectangles; a bigger one (that will go in the right side of the card, when looking at the front of it) and a thiner one (but with the same height that the other one) that will go in the left side.
3) Make a ribbon bow and attach it to the big rectangle. Then paste the 2 rectangles in the card.
4) Cut 3 ovals, one in patterned paper and the two others with color papers that match. Paste them as it is shown in the picture. Then paste them in the right side of the card (when looking at the front of it).
5) Make two holes in the ovals that also pass through the left side of the card, so as to be able to close it with raffia.
6) Pass the raffia through the holes of the left side of the card and then through the ovals. Close the card making a ribbon bow with the raffia.
7) Cut two flowers, a bigger one with in color paper and a smallest one in patterned paper. Paste the smallest one in the bigger one and then with a scissor or pen coil the petals.
8) Paste a big button in the center of the flower, and paste two small ones as shown in the picture.
9) If you don't have stamps write in onionskin paper something like "Get Well" with a marker (if you have stamps use them!). Then cut the paper and paste it as it is shown in the picture. Also, you can write directly into the card.

Done ;)!
