Category: 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.

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!
