MOTHER’S DAY

Hello and thank you for popping by. I’m pleased that you are here to check out my latest project.

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I thought that it was time for me to start making some more cards.

I was aware that not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day on the same day, so I did soe research. Countries that celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May include Australia, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey and Belgium. In Mexico and many parts of Latin America, Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 10th of each year. In Thailand, it is celebrated on August 12th, the birthday of the current Queen. (https://www.officeholidays.com/holidays/mothers-day)

I used the BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM STAMP SET and WELL SAID STAMP SET for this card. I also used the WORD WISHES DIES and STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.

The colours I chose for this project were Balmy Blue, Garden Green, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. For the card front, I used a simple masking technique to stamp the leaves.

This is actually the card I made during my Facebook Live yesterday. I used my Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon and the white twine from the SNAIL MAIL TWINE COMBP PACK for the double bow.

And, this was the sample card that I was able to show before I started to make the earlier card. I like to have a sample so that those people who watch the Live, or replay, can see what’s coming.

The final touch for both cards was to colour the PEARL BASIC JEWELS to coordinate.

I think that you also need to have a gift box so that you can pop something lovely in the box to give her!

I stamped my own Designer Series Paper and then cut it out to attach to the sides and lid of the box.

Let me share the instructions for the gift box so that you can make your mum one as well.

If you make a gift box of your own, make sure that you send me a message with a photo.

Happy stamping – and, 3D project making!

BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOMS

While I was planning this week’s projects, I glanced across my stamp sets and BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM jumped out as being a lttle neglectd of late. Of course, the MANY LAYERED BLOSSOMS DIES have been equally forgotten.

So, I made three cards.

The first one uses Whisper White card stock and ADHESIVE SHEETS. I die cut two of the large floral outlines. The first one was placed into the centre of the card front. Then I pressed parts of the second die cut around the outer areas to fill the space and trimmed it back.

I added a pop of colour by stamping the birthday greeting in Rococo Rose before die cutting it using my go to STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES.

The inside of the card and the front of the envelope were stamped with one of the single flowers.

For the second card I inked up the large floral stamp and spritzed it with some water, giving a water coloured effect.

I cut aother of the floral outline dies and positioned it over the stamped image. Then several of the single flowers were cut. the ADHESIVE SHEETS make it so easy secure the flowers without getting sticky fingers.

The inside of the card and the envelope front were stamped the same was as the first card.

The final card shares similarites with the first two, although definitely more colour this time.

The image was stamped using the Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad onto Rococo Rose card stock. The floral outline was die cut in the same colour. This time I only used one die cut flower, in Pretty Peacock.

I added some BUTTERFLY GEMS and stamped the greeting in Pretty Peacock. The final touch was to pop a piece of SCALLOPED LINEN RIBBON in the same gorgeous colour.

It was a nice way to spend the morning making these cards – using the same products in similar ways.

How do you enjoy your mornings?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

GIFT CARD HOLDER CARD

As I stand at the checkout, I often scan the array of gift cards that are available. And, then I think about how I could make coordinating gift card holding cards.

When I spotted the gift cards for the Apple Store I knew it would be perfect for using the APPLE BUILDER PUNCH.

I chose to use PACIFIC POINT because it is the closest colour match to the gift card.

As I was looking through my stamp sets, to find the right HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I rediscovered BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM. This was the first time I used the sentiment for a project.

The front of the envelope was stamped using Post It notes to mask the birthday greeting and split the sentiment across two rows.

The gift card pocket is under the left hand flap that has been stamped, with the same birthday greeting, several times.

Now it’s time to decide who to give a gift card for their birthday.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can buy any of them through me.
