Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Crafters,

Sharing a Mother's Day card I made for my Mother-In-Law.

FYI...Does not fit in an A2 envelope. 

I wanted it bright and cheery so I chose this warm yellow and plum.  

Here is it closed.   

Here it's open but on it's back.

Here it is standing up.   I love how it turned out.   

Found this subway are on the internet so I copied it into my Silhouette design studio software and placed it on the back piece after I flipped it horizontally and then did a print and cut.   Glued it to the yellow piece before gluing it into the basket. 

Card Recipe:

• Card from the Silhouette Store -- Box Card Mother's Day Violets Design #194401
• Paper from my stash
• Base inked with Stampin' Up Expresso ink
• Leaves accented with Wink of Stella glitter pen
• Yellow portion of flowers accented with purple Wink of Stella brush pen
• Flower centers are sticky dots I bought awhile ago at the dollar store.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!

TTFN,

Debby

Hello Crafters,

Yippee!!   Time for the new Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge.

For my project I used a sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps Countless Occasions set.

KaDoodle Bug Designs May 1st thru May 14h Mother's Day Challenge

Hello Crafters
Today starts the new challenge over at the KBD Challenges Facebook page. This challenge is any Mother's day project using a KaDoodle Bug Designs file.

I love paper piecing but with working full time I sometimes don't have time to cut and put them all together which is why I love it when KaDoodle Bug Designs files have jpgs as part of their file options.   

I'm in love with the new adorable KBD KaTootles files.   

For my project I used the beautiful Cutie KaToodles - Unicorn because my MIL loves them and thought it would make a cute Mother's Day card for her. 

I pulled the KaTootle Unicorn jpg into my Silhouette Studio Designer Software, traced it, cropped it to remove the white area around it, and then placed it on a scallop circle that I filled in with lavender.   Once I got that done, I printed it and then put it through my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out.    

I have been seeing a lot of crafters make shaker cards and love how they look and decided to try and make one.  I shouldn't have used a scallop circle for my first shaker project but I like the way it turned out.  I need to watch some more youtube videos before I make my next one.  

Below are pictures of the final project. 

I came up with this saying for the other side of the flip it card because my MIL is magical to us.

Not a very good picture but alas I'm not a photographer. :) 

Card Recipe: 

• Image is from KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Unicorn file
• Sentiment from Craftin Dessert Divas Happy Celebrations stamp set
• 3D Flip Swing Card Scalloped from the Silhouette Store Design #28759
• Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle to the unicorn.  (Hard to see it on the picture)
• Also entered this in the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge: For Mom or a Girl! 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.   I hope you enjoyed my Mother's Day card All comments are welcomed and cherished.
