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

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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 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
