Happy Mothers Day

Good morning everyone, hope you are all having a lovely weekend. For those of us in the UK today is Mother's day, I think it is celebrated on different days elsewhere. 

So today we are all off out for a family meal, which means none of us mummies have to cook lol. So mummies, mums, moms, nans, nannies, grandma's, step moms, foster mums and all other mummy folk out there. Happy Mother's Day. I hope you all have a lovely day. 

I can't share the card that I have made for my Mum yet as she hasn't seen it, and I know she always logs on to the blog first thing in the morning. So I don't want her to see it here first lol.

So today's card is another that I have made for a special young man who is 20 tomorrow.

I used a Kraft card blank and blue Coredinations card for the base. Then I cut another piece of Kraft card to size and used a Spellbinders Labels Four to cut the aperture. 

I stamped the image from a Camden Town set using blue pigment ink, and then heat set it with clear embossing powder. 

I raised the image on two layers of sticky foam so that it really stood out.

To finish I used my little Kraft stickers to write the sentiment.

Hope you like it, see you soon.

Take care

Hi There

Good morning, hope all is well in your little part of the world today :o) I'm enjoying being back at work even though I am seriously tired lol, but better that than moping at home!

Anyway today's card is another I made for Chris's birthday at the weekend. This idea came from one of my latest craft mags. I just altered it slightly to suit what I had.

The tree is made from Coredinations card stock using a grey and two different shades of green.

I embossed the grey with a Tim Holtz bark embossing folder, and the green was embossed with a Cuttlebug one called Birds and Swirls.

I cut the tree trunk out by hand and then punched the leaves from a 1 inch circle punch and a 1 and a half inch scalloped circle punch.

I sanded all of the pieces to reveal a bit of the core colour and then added them all to a 7x5 white card blank.

I cut two little birds using Marianne dies and added them to the bottom. Then finished the card with my tiny Kraft stickers to spell the sentiment.

Hope you like it.

Take care, and I'll see you soon.
