You are for a fact Amazing: Mother

Good Day!

I hope your week has been going well as we are halfway through already!
I have another Mother's Day card to share. I had lighting issues as Mother Nature was not on my side. It's so much prettier in person!

I started with a Cameo Coral 5 x 5 card base onto which I added my patterned paper.  Lace trim was added to both sides of my stamped panel. I die-cut a circle from burlap and added two paper leaves and a beautiful cabbage rose flower to the center. A bow was added embellished with a button to complete the card.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello~

Are you getting spring where you are?  It's still down right chilly in my part of the world. I froze at my son's little league game last night.

So, I brought a little spring in this Mother's Day card.


I started by creating a 5 x 5 card base onto which I added my patterned papers. I tried to use up supplies I've had in my stash. A length of crochet trim was added to the card front along the transitioning paper patterns. I painted a chipboard butterfly and roughed it up for a vintage feel and added it to the center of a blue daisy embellishing further with a yellow rose to the center.

A seam binding bow was added and layered with raffia adding a silver button to the center. I stamped Happy Mother's Day in black ink in the lower right corner.  Lastly, a few sequins were scattered for a final finishing touch.

Thank You for a Teacher!

Hello again~

I am back and was happy I found the chance to make the second card I needed for my son's other teacher!

I am going to miss making these cards! Especially with the supplies sitting available in my crafting room. I am hoping maybe I can still make these cards in the future:)))


I used inspiration from a sketch! It's always fun to have a jumping point!
Sweet Sunday Sketch - I rotated the image.
I am also joining in the fun at Hiding in my Craft Room - Freestyle, D. L. Art - May Linky.

Using stamp and tag die from My Creative Time, papers from my scrap pile, and my Cricut Preserves cartridge. The Gold Star I've had, and I used an ABC embossing folder on the yellow background cardstock for the apple to tie the school theme together.  

I hope you have a Fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead!

Teacher Appreciation Thank You!

Hello~

Well, this will probably be the last year of making teacher cards as it's our final journey in elementary school.

Unfortunately, it has not been the best school year for my son. He has had a great experience for the most part at the elementary level. This year has not been one of the better ones.  It makes me sad for him.

Anyway, here is my share!
No new paper or card stock was harmed in the making of this card...ha! Every single piece on here was pulled from scraps!

I used the current Die Cuttin' Divas sketch for inspiration. I took a little creative liberty with it. :))) I am also joining at Hiding in my Craft Room - Freestyle and Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes. All dies and stamps are from Reverse Confetti.

Here is the sketch!
Well that's it for me!

I hope you have a Terrific Thursday!
