The theme challenges at The Challenge and Fantabulous Cricut (Celebrate Mom) were calling me with its simplicity.

I wasn't in the mood to stamp so I took out one of my favorite Cricut Cartridges, Love You a Latte, and created a Mother's Day card.  This is one of my favorite cartridges because it's filled with coffee themed images such as espresso machines, teacups and mugs.

Mother's Day Card

Happy Saturday!

 

Today, I'm playing along with this week's The Card Concept Challenge.  I was inspired by the beautiful bold colors. 

 

                                             

 

I'd say my card fits in the category of classy and elegant:

 

 

 

I decided to use a color I have not used in a while -Rose Red, which I think goes well with grey. 

 

Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Rose Red, Basic Grey, Stamps: Stippled Blossoms, Wonderful Mother; Ink: Rose Red, Smokey Slate, Early Espresso; Tools: Lacy Brocade EF; Other: Pretty Pink Posh sequins, small pearls

 

I was additionally inspired by the Just Add Ink Challenge - "Just Add Sequins"

FMS134 .. Happy Mother's Day

Happy Saturday,

The weekend is finally here!  I have a card to share with you for this week's Freshly Made Sketches. 

 

The card base is Crushed Curry, and the pretty patterned papers are from Pink Paislee.  I stamped the leaves from the Fabulous Florets stamp set in Smokey Slate ink, and stamped the flowers in Crushed Curry ink, fussy cut them and adhered them to the oval layer.  The patterned paper is broken up a bit with a piece of gray card stock.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I added a pearl to each flower to finish off the details.

 

Thanks for taking a peek,



PP193...Happy Mother's Day

Happy Monday Everyone,

Today's card was made using this week's Sketch Challenge from The Paper Players.  Like Sandy, I was also drawn to use the Blossom Party Die.  By far, this is my all-time favorite flower die.

 

 

 

 

I started out with Whisper White card base, and used DCWV La Crème Paper Pad for the long strip patterned paper.  I used some washi tape for the little square, which I thought was the perfect combination.  I then die-cut the pretty flower using Real Red card stock.  I liked the idea how Sandy curled up the petals with a bone folder, as a matter of fact, I liked it so much, I curled the petals the same way too ( thanks Sandy, for the brilliant idea!).  The sentiment is from SU! Wonderful Mother, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  The final details are three pearls on the right hand corner and a big pearl in the center of the flower.

Freshly Made Sketches #85 & Dynamic Duos One Year Anniversary

Happy Sunday,

I would like to wish all the Mom's a Happy Mother's Day!  I'm having company coming over today, so I wanted to post my card before they arrive!  The fabulous sketch is from Narelle over at Freshly Made Sketches, and I picked a past Dynamic Duos color combo, Regal Rose and Basic Grey, since they are celebrating their One Year Anniversary!  YAY!

My card:

The base is Whisper White, followed by Basic Grey cardstock.  The only grey patterned paper I had was this polka dot by Echo Park.  I embossed the strip of Regal Rose cardstock that is on top of the card with Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.  This is one of my favorite folders..so elegant and perfect for a Mother's Day card.  I stamped the leaves with Memento London Fog ink.  The gorgeous flowers were stamped with Regal Rose ink.  I stamped the flower once on a piece of paper, and the 2nd time onto the card, to give it a lighter shade.  I also used pink polka dot patterned paper for the 3 flags.  The sentiment is from SU! Wonderful Mother. To finish off my card, I added 2 small pearls to the flowers. 

This card is for my mother-in-law.. I hope she likes it.

The Kraft Journal: Just For Her Challenge

Hello everyone!

I'm here to share with a card for this week's The Kraft Journal: Just for Her Challenge.  Mother's Day is in the air, so I've been busy making Mother's Day cards.  I CASED this beautiful card by Vicki over at It's a Stamp Thing, but I changed the card and added my own touches to make it my own.

My card:

The base of the card is Crumb Cake, followed by Blushing Bride and a pretty pink polka dot cardstock that I found in my stash.  In the middle of the card, I embossed another piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, using the Perfect Polka dots Folder, and adhered the beautful flowers from SU! Stippled Blossoms.  I'm not sure how I ended up with the 2 flowers with different shades of pink, so I decided to use them because I liked the way it came out...what the heck, right?  Two small pearls were added to the big flowers an 1 pearl to the small flower.  The sentiment is computer generated.
