How to Make a Speedy Recovery Card - finished card, ready to sign and give You don't really find cards relating to surgery or have a speedy recovery, in the card aisle. Common cards are the general get well, feel better soon. Regardless - making a card (or any card) is much more thoughtful and sentimental!

You can apply this same concept (with the Bandaid) on a different area on the person having surgery, but I do hope no one will have to have surgery and are well!

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 1 card

Supplies:

cardstock paper
Sharpie
printable image
glue stick
heart sticker
magazines
scissors

Steps:

I went on the internet and searched "hip outline" because that is the surgery my dad will be having (hip replacement). Then, I printed a photo out.
Since I printed with "draft" mode to save ink, I went ahead and went over the outline with a sharpie.

Ready to write on the card. You can write with your handwriting, use stickers, stamps, print out or for me I individually searched and clipped letters from old magazines.

Glue down the letters individually and for finishing touches, I added a heart cardboard sticker. Then, I will pass the card out for my family to all sign.
