Delaney Jane Cards was contacted by a dispatcher in Pasco County Florida because she was organizing some gifts of comfort for an officer who was injured in the line of duty. He was shot in the leg during a domestic violence call. The officer's femoral artery was cut and his fellow officers saved his life by applying a tourniquet to his leg to stop the bleeding. The officer was recovering after surgery when we were contacted. The dispatcher found a card in our store she really felt fit her needs but needed a card to be much larger and have additional space for 100+ department employees to sign as part of a get well gift.
I set out to create the listed card in a larger size and figure out how to add additional space for signatures and well wishes. The finished card size is 5" x 7" and we included a kraft envelope in the appropriate size.
I adore this Whimsy Stamp set because it has several images for Police and Fire cards.
The images were repeat stamped on the navy blue cardstock with Versafine onyx black ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I chose the four images the hat, badge, and two sizes of stars as well as the words Honor, Deputy and Police Officer.
A main image panel with the hat (peaked cap) and the single word HERO were stamped in the same Versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed in clear embossing powder. This panel was layered on black cardstock and then adhered to the right side of the card front panel. A simple card that we hope brings a lot of joy during this very scary time.
The back of the card is stamped with these three hashtag sentiment stamps which were custom made for Delaney Jane Cards by Unity Stamp Co.
The envelope flap was stamped with the definition of a Hero in a coordinating shade of blue. Normally, this sentiment is stamped inside this card design but being unsure of the quantity of sentiments which will be written inside, I chose to add this to the envelope flap.
You can see here there are several pages of inside for signatures and well wishes.
Delaney Jane Cards was honored to donate this card. It was a small act of kindness we are very blessed to be able to perform.
