Love You Mom

Hello Friends

I am making a few Mother's Day cards for our church's annual boutique sale.  I decided to go with a slimline design to best display all of the fun dies I used.  The dies for this card are Pumps Mini, Elegant Hat Box and Love You Mom Phrase.  

Design Steps:

1.  Using the following dies Pumps Mini, Love You Mom Phrase and Elegant Hat Box cut out the following colors of card stock: Pink, black, white, green and silver.  Assemble with a fine time glue.  I cut out 5 additional large pink flowers, 2 additional small flowers and one additional white flower for decoration

2.  The card base is white 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 folded, use the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline die and cut out the black layer glue to the card base.  Use the Windows Slimline  die and cut out a piece of white card stock.  Cut out a piece of polka dot pink DP 2 7/8 x 7 7/8 and glue it to the back of the windows slimline.  Then glue to the black scallop rectangle as shown above

3.  To the top window glue down the hat stand and then glue on the hat 

4.  Glue the sentiment plus a flower to the center window as shown above

5.  On the bottom window glue the shoes to the top of the hat box as shown above

6.  Add some additional flowers and rhinestones and your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Card and Ferrero Rocher Treat Box DIY Template Set

Hello crafty friends,

Melinda here with you and today I am sharing a pretty card and box set I created.The beautiful flowers and foliage are from CottageCutz.com. Here is a look at my set.

The set features a top folding A4 sized card and a matching box. The box will fit 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates and measures 3" square by 1.5" high.

Here's a look at the finished box.

Here's a template of the measurements, Your base piece of paper is 9.75 x 6.

You can follow the template above to make your score lines. You will cut away the parts indicated by the green squares. You will also cut up to the green lines.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to score at .75", 1.5", 4.5" and 5.25" along the 6" side. See the measurements in white boxes. 

Here is what your box base should look like once you have scored and trimmed it. You see that I snipped a little angle piece off the "tabs". This is so assembly will be easier.

After cutting out my template, I created the patterned paper and printed it out. I then cut the pieces into mats. I then put adhesive on all the tabs and assembled the box. 

This is a photo of what the box looks like when assembled and closed. The lid simply flaps over the base piece.

Here is what the box looks like opened. Super simple but a perfect fit for the 4 pieces of candy. There is even enough room if you wanted to put a little sentiment on the inside of the lid flap.

Here is a closer look at my box. I added a scallop stitched square die cut from the set. I then created and printed out my diagonal plaid paper and cut it out for a mat. I then cut out several of the flower 3 dies in white cardstock along with the leafy branch 2 in white cardstock. I used my markers to color them in. I cut out an oval from the wood grain patterned paper I made and a smaller one from white cardstock. I cut one the same size as the white one from the patterned paper. I trimmed off the stitches to make it a mat. I then die cut the Love You Mom Die from White cardstock and then colored that in as well. I added three little flat back pearls for an extra touch. I also used my Nuvo Drops Clear for the centers of all my flowers.

Following are a few more photos of the finished card. It is a top folding A2 sized card base. To that I added a mat of some plaid paper I created. I also created the wood paper. I created a border of that and added some pretty organza yellow ribbon to it. For the sentiment, I used a scallop stitched rectangle die cut in white cardstock. I then created a mat from the same diagonal plaid paper I created and printed out. Then I glued the sentiment onto that. I used foam tape to give it all a lot of lift and dimension.

Here is one last look at my set. I think it turned out super cute and am excited to give it away.

Love You Mom

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made a card for mom today. I used combination of new and older dies to make a card, full of spring flowers. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Spring Flowers in Pot, Love You Mom Phrase, Rounded Rectangles Slimline),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (10x23 cm),

- water spritzer,

-scissors,

- heat gun,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored all the little pieces for the flowers. I cut the vase three times to give it a bit more dimension. 

Next I cut and colored the sentiment.

Then I started on the background. I used the smooching technique. When the paper was dry I colored around the edges with green ink.

I used all the left flowers to decorate the inside. First I cut the rectangle and colored it around the edges. Then I glued the flowers and greenery around the edges. I used the scissors to cut the parts that overlapped the edge of the paper.

I arranged all the parts together. I adhered the bouquet with the adhesive foam pads. And my card was done.

And that's all form me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again on Tuesday for my next post. 

Anja Z.
