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 MiniElegant Hat Box and Love You Mom Phrase.  

Design Steps:
1.  Using the following dies Pumps MiniLove 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

Easter Critters

Hello Friends

Just finishing up my Easter cards.  This one will probably go to my great niece and nephew.  I am using several dies for this card.  The dies are Spring Bunny with Giant Carrot, Hatching Bunny Chick and Spring Chickee in Basket.  I decided to make it a slimline using the Windows Slimline and Pinking Shear Edge Slimline.


Design Steps:

1.  Use a white card base measuring 9 x 4, cut a piece of blue 8 7/8 x 3 7/8, cut a piece of white using the Pinking Shear Edge slimline die, cut a piece of checked DP 2 7/8 x 8 and using the Window Slimline cut a piece of blue.  Glue the blue to the card base and then glue down the white piece with the pinking shear edge
2.  Using the following dies Spring Bunny with Giant Carrot, Hatching Bunny Chick and Spring Chickee in Basket and cut these colors of card stock: green, light yellow, bright yellow, orange, light pink, dark pink, white and blue.  Assemble with fine tip glue
3. Using the Window slimline glue the animals in place as shown above.  Then glue the plaid DP to the back of the window and glue to the card front as shown below 
4.  Decorate with added flowers, leaves and ladybugs.  Add the sentiment and rhinestones and your card is complete

He is Risen!!

Hello Friends

I have started making my Easter card for my family and friends.  I just love the 2 dies I used for this card.  They are Hill Top w/Crosses and He is Risen w/Empty Tomb.  These 2 dies together really display the meaning of Easter.  I just love how this card turned out.

 Design Steps:

1.  Using the Hill Top w/Crosses and He is Risen w/Empty Tomb cut the following colors of card stock: gray, brown, green, white and black.  In the pieces with coordinating colors for depth and shading.  Glue the tomb together 
2.  Cut a black piece of card stock 6 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Then draw the shape of the hills you would like and cut.  Cut a piece of white card stock 6 1/8 x 4 1/8.  Ink the sun using a mask in yellow orange.  Ink around the edges of the sun in yellow.  Ink behind the sun in purple
3.  In the He is Risen white was cut in white the bottom yellow orange and the top yellow as shown above
4.  Glue the hill to the sky piece leaving the top unglued so you can tuck in the crosses.  Add the tomb to the bottom of the hill and then glue down the He is Risen
5.  Glue the panel to a 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 white card base.  Stamp a few birds in the distance and your card is complete
