Thankful for Mom

Hello Friends

I am making a few Mother's Day cards for our church craft sale.  I decided to use the Spring Potted Flowers with Bird.  I didn't use the bird for this card.  I am saving it for a future project!

Designer Steps:

1.  Use the Spring Potted Flower die and cut out the following colors of card stock: gray, light pink, medium pink, dark pink, light green and a dark green

2.  Cut a white square using the second from the largest Pierced Scallop Square die.  Arrange the flowers onto the square and glue down

3.  Cut a light green retangle using the largest Pierced Scallop Rectangle die.  Glue the white square to the green retangle as shown on the first picture

4.  Use an A2 white card base, cut a piece of pink card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut a piece of polka dot DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue the pink to the polka dot DP.  Set the card base aside

5.  Glue the green rectangle to the polka dot DP as shown.  Stamp the sentiment to the lower right hand corner on the scalloped green retangle.  Add your ribbon just below the white scalloped square.  Your card is complete

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

Leprechaun Gnome and His Gold

 Hello Friends 

I am making a few St Patrick's Day cards.  So again I am using some of the dies from my stash and repurposing them.  The dies I used for this card are Gnome Sleeping in Hammock, Warlock Gnome w/Cauldron (I just used the cauldron) and the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie (I used the Shamrock)

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Gnome Sleeping in the Hammock cut out the following colors of card stock: orange, green, tan, brown, flesh and a striped green and white DP.  Assemble with a fine tip glue

2.  Use a white A2 card base and cut a piece of green card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (TIP:  I used the inside of the green piece for another project knowing it was going to be covered up away) Glue the green to the card base

3.  Use the largest Pierced Wide Retangle Frame and cut out a piece of kraft card stock.  Cut a piece of sky DP 4 x 5 1/4 and a piece of green card stock 1 x 5.  Glue the green to the bottom of the sky as shown.  Arrange the gnome on the DP

4.  Using the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie cut about 10 clover and glue to the grass.  Glue the frame around your scene

5.  Glue the framed scene to the card front.  Use the Warlock Gnome W/Cauldron and cut the cauldron in black card stock.  I used a 1/4 inch hole punch and cut out the gold.  Glue the black pot and the gold to the lower right corner add your sentiment and your card is complete
