Mother's Day, one more for the road...

MOTHER'S DAY...

... one more for the road

Off to the Craft fair, I am (11 to 2, today May 12, down on Bellevue Av in Bird Rock... hope to see you there), but wait!

One more for the road....

Another of those flowers pot, on a wooden table, with a beautiful sentiment framed in a Label #10 Nestability.

The opening under the table is made with a label #19 Nestability.

Until next time....

Mother's Day Heart

Mother's Day...

...Heart

As I was having coffee with my good friend this morning, and she began to talk about her plans for Mother's Day, it suddenly hit me, do I have enough Mother's Day cards? 

I know I was all decked up with my graduation cards but Mother's day cards? I think not.

Three more days, I can do it....

Here my first twin try, one in Tiffany's Blue and one in Kraft, the two colors I am the most comfortable working with.

And what do you know? I found in my stash baker's twine to match.

Here is a close up so you can see the two different embossing folder that were used.

This one is called "Rings"

That one, "Retro Squares".

I cut the heart with a Spellbinder Nestabilities, and propped the plain white card stock with some dimensionals.

The sentiment was printed before hand.

Until next time...

Thank Heaven for little girls

Thank Heaven for little...

... girls.

This Papertrey Ink stamps set is just adorable. I just had to use the sentiment... for little girls today, next time will be for little boys.

Below are two versions of the same card.

The baby footprints stamps is a Recollections one carried by Michael's.

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the heart embossed background is achieved through a Cuttlebug embossing folder,

The frames are made with Nestability.

Until next time...

Now... How cute and versatile is that quote? 

It is perfect for so many occasions: you could make it a wedding card, a new baby card, a graduation card, etc,  etc...

Below are two of my takes, a wedding card and a new baby card. I am sure I will use this again in a near future.

Just in case you want to do the same, I added the image below.

Let me know if it is easy to download and use.

For my first card, I had a craving for flowers and dragonflies. This is what came out!

Here is a close up of the printed sentiment...

 I love the flying  birds in an infinite sign pattern.

The dragonflies are printed in white on silver card stock and I added some dimensional glittery paint on top of the body.

The flowers are punched paper and the centers are made with a Paper-Pen from Viva, in 3D paint Sunny yellow. Any dimensional paint would work there.

I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the flowers stems, and a Martha Stewart edger punch for the bottom of the silver panel.

The finish touch was a simple bow in clear ribbon.

And now, for a totally different use of this sentiment, a new baby card.

I just can't get enough of this little Recollections baby footprints stamp. I used Nestability to cut a simple circle and a scalloped one to frame the printed image.

 It is then propped up with some foam stickies.

Et voila!!!!

Until next time...

Just For You

LAST OCTOBER...

... I went to Sacramento to attend the Scrap Fair there, and I stumbled upon an exhibitor who was showing how to make those beautiful glass pendants.

You need a special glue, some glass square, some bells to hang the pendant... then comes the fun part.

You need nice pictures, and the internet has plenty of those!

Below are a few cards I made to hold these pendants.

The windows are made with the Nestability, those are the perfect tool to make a window and a bigger window in a different color top card stock, giving the feeling you are looking at a frame.

 The top paper is tiffany Blue in color, and as most of the card stocks, envelopes or plain paper I use, comes from this wonderful company Paperandmore.com.

They have the best customer service, the price are competitive and they are fast to ship!

I run that paper in a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The banner was printed on the computer.

I just added a few dot of green with my copic marker.

Until next time...

Happy Birthday in a Window

SPELLBiNDERS...
... Nestability.

Whoever thought of making dies in concentric shapes had to be a genius.


The blue card-stock was scored every 1/2 inch to give it a little special something...

I like the end result.

-230-

I used two consecutive Spellbinder Nestability for the window, and the blue top card stock.

The sentiment was printed on my computer, and I glued a flower punched in the same blue card-stock.

The heart of the flower and the three little pearls were made out of 3D Tulip metallic paint.

Until next time...
