Happy Mother's Day

In honour of mother's day, here are a selection of mom-inspired cards.

Happy Mother's Day!

 

Cupcakes, Brides & Cutie Pies

Wow...life has been busy! I did manage to get a few card creations in these past few weeks though :)  Guess I have been influenced by my friends having kids and the royal wedding lol.  May I present Cupcakes, Brides & Cutie Pies!

Cupcakes

These were made with the Create A Cupcake stamp set and coordinating punch that was in the Occasions Mini that was finished last month.  Fingers crossed that it's in next year's catalogue because I just LOVE it. I will admit that I borrowed the idea for these from my friend Dawn, The Inked Stamper. Go check out her site! She is an amazing scrapbooker who has been featured in Canadian Scrapbooker and is about to open her own scrapbooking store here in St. Albert.

Brides

 


Ok so the yellow one is just a "love" one, but I made it with weddings in mind. On the Bride to Be card I embossed the stamp with gold and then coloured it in with a gold metalic marker, you know, the kind you have to shake before using. I remember these from elementary school!

Cutie Pies

In honour of my friends who are about to give birth I created these two cards.  The Welcome Baby one reminds me of vintage cards for some reason. I used Crystal Effects on the diaper shirt to make it shiny.

Just Moved

I'm on a mission to make a card for each stamp set... today's card & postcard set is based on the Loads of Love & Loads of Love Accessories sets. Well lookie at that - they're both still available from SU! lol

I was having fun adding layers to the card but when it was done I realized that it may not be the most practical card to mail since there are so many 3-D details on it, so I created a postcard to go along with that would be much less expensive to send in the mail.

Monochromatic Elegance

Sometimes less is more.  I simply LOVE the effect of the brushed silver light grey, accented with a stamp embossed in silver. Truly elegant!

I was also messing around with a camera app for my iPhone  :)

Friends & Butterflies

I'm so excited about this card! It was created as a birthday party invitation for my daughter, but by leaving the inside message blank it could be used for many different occasions. Glitter, embossing, pastels... it's all in there.

Card Of The Day

Today's creation is an all-purpose baby card!  By all-purpose I mean it could be used as a "happy new baby" card, or it could be a baby shower invitation or a birth announcement.

I've had the hand and feet wheels hanging around for ages and finally got to use them.  Hooray for patience and creativity!  This card was fairly quick to assemble even though it looks as if there is a lot of detail.  I used crystal effects to cover the "sweet one" punch-out to add a bit of shine.
