Mum's the Word

Here is the Mother's Day card I made for my Mum using paper from the lovely Cheerful Treat DSP. I don't think there's a single design in this pack that I don't like, which is a bit awkward because it means I struggle to decide which side of the paper to use. Good job there are two of each design in a pack eh? ;)

I cut out heart shapes from the patterned paper and stuck them onto Concord Crush CS. I then ran the panel through the Big Shot with the square lattice embossing folder.  I stuck this onto a piece of Pool Party CS - I seriously NEED some more of this colour. I didn't think I used much blue until this colour came out! I then added the word Mum, cut using my Timeless Type Alphabet dies and run through the lattice embossing folder, and popped the whole lot onto a summery Melon Mambo base card. The ribbon was from my stash.

As well as a lovely card from my little girl for Mother's Day I also received a gorgeous card and bouquet of flowers from my wonderful Sister. I was so touched and I feel very lucky to have such a lovely Sister. I her a thank you card using one of my favourite stamp 'characters, Nikki from Ladybug Crafts Ink. To tie in with the bouquet, I used 'Flower For You Nikki!.

 

Once again, I chose paper from the Cheerful Treat set and, as it's quite a busy design, I chose to keep everything else simple. Therefore, I just added some colour to the image with my Lucky Limeade marker (so a perfect match with the paper!) and cut it out using a frame die and my Big Shot.
