What a lovely pinterest board to look at today for the IC - Happy Wall!
I was looking in the flower section as I have tons of flower dies and stamps from Altenew that I've purchased and never used - but then I came upon this Floral Happy Wall: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a3/5b/fb/a...3f66d7ccb2.jpg and it made me think of the Alluring Blooms Paper Pad I have from Altenew. It is a thicker paper with a slight gloss to it and I haven't used it much but it was perfect for the inspiration!
I simply cut a piece using the largest Nordic Frame die from the Greetery - the open dots on the frame add a nice subtle interest to the edge. Then I added a die cut hello to the corner.
I ended up making 8 cards using several different pieces from the paper pad.
I'm leaving them blank inside and sending them to my older cousin who is quarantined in an assisted living/nursing home in NH.
She is a bit confused and her children cannot visit. I send her cards and she responded recently with a note to me on white lined paper - she had lost her pen so used a pencil and she didn't have an envelope so she 'borrowed' one from a 'girl' down the hall.
I'll send her the note cards with envelopes, stamps, a pen and address labels for me, her daughter, her sister and her sister-in-law so it will hopefully be easier for her to write to people when she wants to!

That open work framing is so perfect with your DP and the die cut sentiment looks fabulous - cool to be able to make a whole packet of cards so quickly.

Easy peasy and Oh So Pretty, Julia! I feel sorry for all the residents in assisted living facilities. One of my aunts is in one and she is 90 but has her mind. The only ones who visit are her son and his family. They still can't eat in the dining hall, so they can't see anyone at all. How sad...
