More Mother's Day

This was my mom's Mother's Day card, I really wanted to try out all my new dies. The flower is one of the dies that embosses & cuts and I just love the leaf die! The whole card came together very quickly because I already had the flower/leaf layout in my head. I've also been having a lot of fun with my eyelet punch lately :)
Ingedients:
Rose Red, Old Olive, Cameo Coral, Whipser White, Raspberry Tart DSP - paper; Rose Red - ink; En Francais - stamp set; Eyelet punch, green rhinestone brads, Stampin' Up! Simple Flower Sissix die, Stampin' Up! Little Leaves Sissix die - accessories;

College Card

This was my first attempt at a College card. I'm sure there's a more technical description, but basically a college card is stamping as many background layers as you can with one focal image on top. I think I managed to use 6 different stamp sets and four types of embelishments for this one card . I think it turned out really cool.

Ingredients:


Baja Breeze, Confetti Cream, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip - paper; Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip - ink; Friends 24-7, Music Score (non-SU), En Francias, Aged to Perfection, Stamp of Authenticity, Winter Post - stamp sets; Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, mini library clips, linen thread, Button Boquet, Button Latte, Stampin' dimensionals, blender pen, Stampin' Pastels - accessories;

Mother's Day

As spring FINALLY stretches out her hand... (occasionally) it's time for that thoughtful day... Mother's Day! Time for me to get busy! Here's the cards I've been working on.

I love the colours of this first one! Celery & Guava. This card was a lot of cutting! After stamping and cutting out the frame, I cut the mat free hand. I think this one's going to be for my grandma.

Ingredients:

Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla - paper; Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Blush Blossom, Groovy Guava - ink; Bella Toile, Botanical Blooms (SAB), Frames with a Florish, All Holiday - stamp sets; cream half pearls (Pretties Kit), Certainly Celery marker, Stampin' Dimensionals - accessories;


This card was fun because I love office themed items and tags are so much fun. You can hardly tell in the photo, but there's a reinforcement on the circle punched in the tag. I think that's my favorite item on the whole card :)
I ripped the edges of my Pink Pirouette & then moistened them. After it was adhered, I rolled up the edges all the way around. The flowers on the tag were paper pieced, which means I stamped the image in green onto the tag & then stamped it again in Rose Red on Pink Pirouette paper. Next I cut out just the flower parts & glued them over the original stamped image.

Ingredients:

Old Olive, Rose Red, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla - paper; Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Old Olive - ink; Friends 24-7, All Holiday - stamp sets; piercing template, pink embroidery floss, Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, Crop-a-Dile, 1/2" circle punch, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, blender pen - accessories;
