Mother’s Day ~ The Cards. The Hat.

Following are the two Mother’s Day cards I created for my mom and my mom-in-law.

I had a thing for flowers this year! On the first I sponged a small paper doily with moss green ink  to use as the background for the flowers. On the second card, I embossed the background with the Cottage Floral embossing folder from Craft Concepts then colored it with chalk.

And finally, here is the hat I wore for Hat Day at church. Lace, ribbon and a vintage pearl button!       

Wearing hats is not the norm in my church, so this is a fun way to include all women in the the celebration.

I was blessed with a day full of sunshine, love and laughter.

 

 

 

 

A Happy Hello! Card

I enjoy looking at the intricate cards created by design teams and talented stampers. Seeing the beautiful cards makes me aspire to one day being able to create my own elaborate designs. But in the meantime, simple seems to be  what I come up with when I play at my craft table.

I used the Funky Flowers embossing folder by Craft Concepts to emboss the turquoise card stock for this card. The daisy is by Petaloo. The stamp – ‘A Happy Hello’ – is by Stampin’ Up! and the hot pink ribbon is from my stash.

Quick, easy and fun to make!
