Mother's Day Bouquet

Mother's Day Bouquet...

I guess I was lying to myself yesterday when I said I was done making cards for a while.

My craft fair is tomorrow and I keep wanting to add new models to my already overflowing  baskets.

This time I think I am done. The sun is shining bright outside and I am going to move on to oiling my teak furniture so I will be able to enjoy laying around without guilt this weekend.

OK, one more Mother's day card, same stamp, same circular sentiment, same baker's twine just a different color....

And a lone button to tie up the baker's twine..

Here you go:

Until next time....

Happy Mother's day

Happy Mother's Day...

They always come in three, right? So, here is my third Mother's day card of the day.

I found that beautiful used stamp at the Craft Fair last week end: as soon as I saw that potted plant I had an idea of a card in my mind.

I used once again those wonderful circular sentiments you can download here:

I first stamped the image on a silver card stock and kept the pot, then on a white card stock for the flowers bouquet.

I used my Copics on the flowers, and tie a baker's twine around the pot.

The pot is propped with dimensionals on a white card stock, then matted on a yellow one.

Until next time....

Graduation... a last hick-up....

GRADUATION...

... a last hick-up.

Well just for this week at least. I can't say the Graduation virus won't strike again but for now, this is it.

Two more little simple cards, with popped up graduation classics (a cap and a diploma), inside a circular sentiment, you can download below:

It doesn't get any simpler than that.

I chose silver and black, but this card could be customized to any high school or college colors.

Looking at the pictures below, I just realized I forgot to highlight the tassel and the cord on the diploma in gold... just close your eyes and imagine.

I am still using that $1 stamp set, my favorite when we talk graduation.

Until next time...

Pile of Gifts

GIFTS...

... and a whole pile of them!

This is another of the Stamps by Judith i found at the Scrap Fair in Anaheim last month. This is the place where I did the most damage.

It seemed to me that every single stamps of that lady was a "I NEED IT" stamp.
I left with a few and haven't regretted any just yet.

The other exhibitor that impressed me was "A Cut Above". They had all kind of flip card, stair cards, that would make an easy base for an OH MY! card.

I began using the flip cards, and am on my way to the stairs ones.
To be continued...

The flip card is from A Cut Above.

The pile of gifts is from Stamps by Judith, and  the cupcake in the middle of the circular sentiment is also one of their Stubbies.

You can download the circular sentiment at:

All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, except for the silver bow, I just used a sharpie there.

Until next time....

Mother's Day Card

MOTHER'S DAY...

... it will be here before you know it.

Better be prepared than sorry.

Between you and me, this was just an excuse for me. I had to find a way to feature this beautiful Rubber Cafe stamp, and this new Cuttlebug Heart embossing folder.

The cherry on top of the cake was that little hanging heart... look closer to the right of the pot, see it? It is a different little stamp that was made to hang there.

 Don't you think so?

The flip card is from A Cut Above. 

The pot of flowers is from The Rubber Cafe. 

The little hanging heart on the right of the flower pot is a Stick from Stamps by Judith, as well as the branch in the top circle.

The white background is embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I printed the sentiment in a circle from the internet. Check out this site:

Then the Copic markers worked their magic all around...

Until next time....
