You Are a Blessing Mom

Hello Friends 

I have one more Mother's Day card to share with you today.  I am featuring the Stitched Tulip and Daisy die.  I used the two daises on this card.  It was a fairly fast card to put together and I just love all the stitching.

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Stitched Tulip and Daisy die cut out the following colors of card stock: rust, yellow, peach, and green.  Use coordinating ink colors to give them some shading

2.  Use an A2 white card base and then cut a piece of white card stock 4 x 5 1/4 I ran it through an embossing folder which had a cute little border 

3.  Take the embossed card stock and stamp the sentiment to the lower right hand corner as shown.  Begin to glue the flower pot pieces to the white card stock as shown

4.  When your finished glueing the flower pot to the embossed retangle glue that panel to the front of the white card base.  I added some white ink highlights to the finished card. I used a white ink pen from Gelly Roll Sakura

Easter Church

 Hello Friends

As we approach Easter I need to finish up my cards.  I am using a little church and doing some ink blending for the background.  I really love the simplicity of this card using just one die called the Wedding Chapel.  I hope you and your family have a wonderful time celebrating Easter.

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Wedding Chapel die cut out the following colors of card stock: light gray, dark gray and yellow

2.  Cut a piece of white card stock 4 x 5 1/4 and using a yellow ink to blend a background on the card stock (see above)

3.  Use an A2 white card base, cut a piece of yellow 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  Glue the church onto the inked piece of white card stock and stamp the sentiment.  Glue the church panel to the yellow piece of card stock then glue to the card base.  Your card is complete

Risen

 Hello Friends

Easter is early this year so I have started my cards.  I just love using the soft colors for spring and Easter.  So that was my color palette for this card.  The dies I am featuring are: Spring Vine Wreath, Hilltop with Crosses and He is Risen wth Empty Tomb. (I used the word Risen) 

Designer Steps:

1.  Use the Hilltop with Crosses die and cut out green and brown cardstock.  Use the Spring Vine Wreath die and cut out green, yellow, dark yellow, purple, dark purple, pink, and dark pink

2.  Glue the flowers to the green wreath as shown above

3.  Cut a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch square out of sky DP.  Glue down the hill with the crosses first and then add the flower wreath.  Cut the word Risen in white using the He is Risen w/Tomb die

4.  Use a white A2 card base cut a piece of purple card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and a piece of checked DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue the DP to the purple card stock.  Do not glue to base yet.  You are going to add ribbon first

5.  Add a layer of purple to the back of the blue DP square.  Then pop the square up onto the checked DP as shown above 

6.  Add the ribbon and the sentiment to the card as shown.  Place small pearls, rhinestones and glitter pen inside each flower and your card is complete
