A Quick Get Well Soon Gift
Did you see the video I recently did about my All Around Sentiments stamps? You can take a look at it HERE. The reason I ask is because you might have thought I was crazy when I suggested using the “Yum Yum Yum” and “Get Well Soon” stamps together. THIS is what I had in mind. Let’s say you have a sick friend/neighbor. You might want to do something nice, but not have time to boil a whole chicken, you know what I mean? You can simply wrap a can of soup in some nice paper and add these sentiments. Then you’re ready to run to your neighbors door and push the soup toward them with a broomstick so you don’t catch whatever they have let them know you hope they feel better.
In the video that I made, I showed you different ways these stamps can be used. Here I’ve punched out the center of one stamp and interchanged it with another stamp. I used one of the “big, fat pop dots” that I love, to pop up the center. (I’m sure that’s not their technical name, but it IS accurate.) Remember, all you need to make the most of these stamps is a 1″ and a 1-1/2″ circle punch. You can certainly use the All Around Sentiments stamps without the punches too.
You can dress the can up as much as you’d like, but since this is a quick gift of ready made soup I decided to keep it simple. 😉 Another idea is to create a whole get well basket including crackers, lip balm, tissues and a fun movie.
P.S. Don’t forget to either tell the person or make a little note stating what kind of soup it is, or you’ll experience what I did when Benjamin didn’t know what the hot chocolate directions were in this gift. 😉
This is such a great idea!
We have so many “sickies” in our family right now…we are all “sharing” a bad head & chest cold.
This would be so cool to give out to friends and family in that situation.
You always inspire me Joy!
Have a great day!
Oh…btw…I just ordered these stamps and I am SO excited, cuz I want to make one of these “Get Well Soon” gifts.

This is such a great idea and your stamps are perfect for this project!
You did a Soup-er job on this project 🙂
Your ideas for using All Around Sentiments stamps with round punches are brilliant!
