Where or theme for the month has been

Little People

I have a card to share that I made for my favourite littlest person - my Granddaughter Eva who was a whole one year old at the beginning of April - where did that year go!

I used the little Angels range from Crafter's Companion and lots of little embellies from

 Crafty Purple Frog


to make this card, together with a few extra dies - I was really pleased with the whole effect when I was finished - it was just so pretty and girly

there's a £10 prize to spend in store up for grabs!!

and here is Eva in full birthday pose!!
a little biased but i think she's gorgeous!!

Here's what I did .....

Giraffe die, Baby Accessoies dies, papers, ribbon and from Sara Davies Little Angels signature collection

Dovecraft Doily, buttons and clothes pegs from Crafty Purple Frog

Stitched banner dies from Mama Elephant

Circle and scalloped dies - Die'sire essentials form Crafter's Companion

A traditional Mother's Day card

Good morning all

I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone that Mother's Day is fast approaching

If your mother is anything like mine - she likes a traditional card

flowers, pretty, pink - you get the picture.

So I've made this card as a little inspiration for a traditional pretty

Mothers Day card

the inside

I made the shape of the card by simply folding the square 7 inch card back at just above the half way mark and decorated with pretty papers, and die cuts.  I used collall 3d glue gel to glue it (after adding the papers) as I didn't want it to lie flat, but instead created a slightly dimensional fold

My main inspiration was the Die'sire word dies, I find them so useful, you can make them the central focus of any card really then just add embellishments.

What I did.....

Papers,- Little Angels and Sara's country garden from Sara's Signature collections from Crafter's Companion

Embossing folder - Floral swirls from Sara's signature Floral delights by Crafter's companion

Dies  Words Die'sire essentials female words and words of emdearment sets from Crafter's Companion

           Flowers - Heartfelt Creations from Butterfly Medley collection (dies and stamps)

           Frame  - Spellbinders nestabilities Majesty

           leaves - Memory box fabulous phlox

flower centres - floral punch from woodware
Glues used, Collall 3d glue gel and all purpose glue

Flowers embossed with white detail embossing powder and washed over with Ranger Perfect Pearls in pink gumball

I hope I've given you some inspiration for Mother's Day cards - I'm sure most mums  love flowers for Mothers's Day
