Mother's Day

Here's some cards I made for my mother-in-law and mother for Mother's Day earlier this year, around the time we were arranging moving home.

The first card is made using a Mother's Day kit from Papermania, die cuts, basic pink paper roses and prima flowers.

Papermania die cut letters have been embellished using some old odd gems (round and heart shaped pearls, gems) and glitter using Anita's 3D glossy accents as an adhesive and gloss to give the letters a raised look.

Lime green patterned ribbon is by Chatterbox.

The inside is decorated using the remnant paper strips from the kit.

The second card was made for my mother for Mother's day. Magnolia Tilda stamp used called 'Well Dressed Tilda' and coloured with Ciao Copic pens. Tights pattern accentuated by using white 3d liquid applique and then when dry coated with iridescent glitter glue. Papers by K& Co except pink glitter card which was bought in an independent stationers called 'Lorimers' (sold as single sheets). Card has been embellished using basic pink paper roses, prima flowers, pearl hearts and white Papermania self-adhesive pearls. The sentiment is a die cut from the Papermania Mother's Day kit.

The inside of the card has been decorated using a sheet for green polka dot paper from Craft Creatives Decorative Paper Stack (available from Tesco Superstores - Acid&lignin free!), pink glitter card, remnant strip of K&Co striped paper, white organza ribbon .

Kind regards,

Acetate Magnolia Tilda Christmas Card

Blooming Marvellous Birthday Blooms

Last night I decided I would christen my new cuttlebug and what better reason than to make my mother's birthday card. Given I only started the card late at night it invoed some quick thinking, so I decided to use a 'patchwork' sheet of paper from Papermania's Exquisite Paper Collection, embossed a piece of scrap peach pearlescent card with the Cuttlebug embossing folder, attached and layered two prima flowers in beige and pastel pink with sticky dots to the centre. I then stamped Magnolia's Tilda with Magnolia flowers onto cream cardstock, several times to create layers (head and shoes) and watercoloured the image with W H Smiths Watercolour pencils. I decided against using prisma/ gamsol tecnique as I was extremely short of time (aren't we all! LOL) and would have had to wait for it to dry before glueing. Once dry, I stuck Tilda with sticky dots and then layered the pieces. Finally I thought I would add an epoxy/ dome Papermania Heart and embossed the 'love' heart using my new bug friend on antique gold pearlescent card and cutting it into shape. Inside the card, I stamped a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment (All Night Media Stamp which I love dearly!) with a Whispers Port Wine ink pad. A simple but effective card! Now its posted I hope she loves it just as much as I do!
