Challenge: Mother's Day

Dates: May 6-May 11, 2013

Hello this is Tammy again with another Mother's Day card. I have two moms and so this challenge was great to get me in gear and get the cards done.

I started with a sketch from a CAS class I took from Jennifer McGuire and some of the other techniques I learned in the class to create this card.

I embossed the front page with a cuttlebug folder and used clear powder over the top and heat set it. Then I used a Tattered Angels silver sparkle mist to add some color. The rose and sentiment is from a Paper Smooches stamp set.

Hope you are ready for Mother's Day. Is you are, stop by and enter your creation in this weeks challenge.

Challenge: Mother's Day

Dates: May 6 - May 11, 2013

As it turns out, many of us have moms far away. And remember, cards for Mother's Day aren't just for our mom... it's for other moms in our lives like grandmothers, mothers-in-law, and so forth. I am lucky to say that I won the mother-in-law lottery. She's gracious and supportive and a bundle of energy. I wish she lived closer. Here's a card I sent to her.

I'm a big fan of the very pretty, soft floral patterns from this BoBunny collection. The clear button was tied first with silk ribbon and then adhered with a generous dollop of Glossy Accents (any tape or glue dot would show through). The faux stitching was done with a white Signo gel pen.

As much as I like the faux stitching technique, I'm happy to say that I don't need to go faux anymore. I took a sewing class on Sunday and am no longer afraid of my untouched sewing machine. Yeay! I'll definitely be sewing on cards in the future. I even brought some cardstock with me to class and tried sewing on it.

Challenge: Mother's Day

Dates: May 6-May 11, 2013

Hello everyone. Tammy here with a card for MOM. I started with a sketch from Close to My Heart.

The original dimensions had the card 5 X 7 and I cut it down to 5 X 6. I created the tag 2 X 3.5

I inked some flowers and layered them for the top of the tag. I used the die cut from Jaded Blossom to to create the medallions for the banner and then another die cut in the set for the medallions down the edge.

I added some buttons and inked flowers to down the side.

Mother's Day will be here soon. Get your cards done early and enter them in for your chance to win.

Challenge: Mother's Day

Dates: May 6-May 11, 2013

Hello! Mother's Day is the theme this week! If you're a Mother, let me wish you Happy Mother's Day! Mine has been gone since 1995 and not a day goes by that I wish I could just pick up the phone and call her or go see her. If you're a daughter, please know that while Moms can be a pain, they just have your back! I hope you appreciate yours. Give her a hug for me!! I made a card today, and this was a challenge for me, since Mom is gone, but I'm going to give it to someone who has "adopted" me since she passed away and is always there for me! Take a look!

The sentiment is from a Close To My Heart set, titled Spring, and I used the bird, flowers, and butterflies from a package of K and Company die cuts. I stamped the sentiment in green, layered on a green cardstock, added two yellow brads, and put it all on a yellow card base. It does look like Spring is finally here! My special friend invited me to a Mother/Daughter Tea later this week, so I'm going to put a note inside thanking her for the invitation and give to her at the event. I know she'll cry! She used to own a flower shop, so I know she's gonna love the flowers! Now it's your turn! Get your Mom or special someone's card ready and enter it in the challenge!!

Weekly CHallenge # 17 - Saturday

Dates: April 30, 2013 to May 6, 2013

Happy Birthday!! Janet here and today I made a birthday card for a child. A grandson that is turning 4 this month! I think he'll like it! Take a look then I'll tell you all about it!

Isn't this tiger the cutest? He wobbles! I think he'll like this card when he opens his present. This card was one from a Kanban Wobble Kit. There are almost 20 cards in this kit. The base pieces, a stabilizer between the front and back so it stands up nice, then all the pieces to make a variety of animals, and extra pieces such as the leaf and stars. They also make great accents on a scrapbook layout as well. I purchased it some time ago from HSN and came across the box recently.. my name is Janet and I'm a hoarder... LOL Anyway, now that we have 3 small grandchildren they're going to get used as cards or scrapbook embellishments. I stamped Happy Birthday inside and wrote a message to him. I hope you'll link up your birthday cards this week! Stop by my blog to see this or other projects! http://janetscreativeworld.blogspot.com.
