Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope all of you are enjoyed your Mother’s Day. I’m spent my Mother’s Day weekend with my husband and friends in Moab, Utah running the Red Rock Relay. I did it last year and had so much fun. Once again we had a great time.

I wanted to share with you real quick the project we made last month for our monthly club.

Each club member was able to make this adorable mother’s day gift box perfect for that special gift for mom. The box was made using the envelope punch board. Yes this board is great for so much more then just making envelopes.

To make the box I started with an 8×8 piece of paper. I used the punch board and lined my paper at the 5 then punched and scored. Afterwards I moved it to the 3 and punched and scored again. I repeated this on each side of the paper. Once I was done with that I used the corner rounder on the top to round all my edges. Last you will want to flip the paper over and use your score board to score the center marks on each of the corners. This is the part that you can see folded in. This is also where I placed the glue to hold the box together. You don’t need to do this only if you want the box to stay together withouth the belly band. In the picture below I’ve drawn in the score lines so you can see them.

I finished the box off with a fun belly band. You’ll notice that our box matches the cute card that was available to make in the card buffet.

Here’s a close up of the cute belly band and the flowers that pop. I finished the flowers off with a little pearl in the middle. I love how they look. Remember to use your bond folder to curl your flowers and give them more dimension.

I hope you had fun sharing projects with your mother this mother’s day. I love sharing handcrafted projects with my Mom as well as family and friends.

Hoppy Easter Carrot Treat

I hope you all have an enjoyable Easter no matter what way you spend it. I enjoy spending the day at church with my family reflecting on the beautiful gift of forgiveness the savior has given me. I also enjoyed watching my children hunt for eggs and jumping on the new tramp followed by time with the extended family and yummy food.

Easter Carrot

Today I thought I would share with you a fun little Easter treat. This one is so easy to may. It’s created with the scallop circle die. You could also use the circle fram-lits as the also have a large scallop circle. After cutting the scallop circle emboss it with your favorite texture folder. Next roll it into a cone shape an hold together with a little ribbon. To finish it off I added some great paper that I cut just the edge in strips (the new fringe scissors would work perfect for this, but I don’t have them yet.) Last I added a little bit of candy. This treat is quick any easy and so fun to make as a cute gift. It’s even easy enough that you can make it with the kids as a fun Easter craft.

Flowers for Mother

Mothers love to get flowers for Mother’s day so this card is perfect. She’ll get a special note from you and beautiful flowers that won’t die.

Mother's Day Flower Card

This card is extra special because it has a fun hidden note behind the flowers. The pot is actually folded in 1/2 and you can pull the top flowers out to revel a hidden message just for Mom.

Mother's Day Flower Card with tag out

I absolutely love the detail and dimension in this card don’t you? It’s so easy to achieve with the bone folder. Simply hold the edge of the bone folder on the center of the inside of flower. Press your finger on the other side of the flower against the bone folder and pull. This will help to softly curl the paper much like you curl ribbon with scissors for a balloon. This is also a great effect for curling tags. They are finished off with a tiny pearl in the center.

Be watching for the cute matching box that we made for club. Just a quick reminder two of the colors on this project are the retiring in-colors: Primrose Petals & Raspberry Ripple. They will be gone soon so be sure to get yours before they are gone.

Easter Bunny Punch Card

Did you notice this cute little card in my Stampin’ Buffet this month?

I’m a huge fan of punch art so when I was trying to decide on a fun idea for an Easter card I couldn’t resit making a punch art bunny. The fun spring colors of the Sale-a-bration paper works perfect with this card along with the sale-a-bration embossing folder.

Do you send Easter cards? I never have, but I think it would be fun to get this little guy in the mail. Of course you could change the sentiment to Thank You or Happy Birthday because this little guy is sure to make anyone’s day.

Whole Lot of love cards

Whole Lot of Love promotions ends tomorrow. Here’s a couple of fun samples I’ve made. I’d thought I’d share them with you so you can be inspired and grab some up before they are gone.

I’ve enjoyed playing with some of the fun products featured in the Whole Lot Of Love promotion. First off is a card I made using the the Monster Valentines. I bought them for my son to make for his class. I couldn’t decide between the boy ones and the girls ones so I bought a package of each and figured he could make girls for the girls and boys for the boys. I also know it means there will be extra’s so I could have a little fun with them. I think it turned out supper cute. I’m so in love with the Decorative Dots Embossing folder that you can earn for Free during Sale-a-Bration’s starting on Tuesday.

The second card features the Follow your Heart stamp set. The clear is sold out already, but last I heard they still have it available in wood. This set is so cute, you will want it for sure. I added some of the fun gold product from the occasions catalog and of course the Decorative Dots Embossing folder. It’s been fun working with the gold baker’s twine. It’s a bit thicker than the normal baker’s twine and it’s cream colored instead of white, but love the accent.

So hopefully you’ve been inspired and want to order these before they are gone. You can order Order online 24/7 use hostess code S4P3TRBA.

Love Cards

Here’s yet another card that was inspired by Pinterest. I saw this card and thought I think I can create that using Stampin’ Up! products. So here’s a link to the original card and of course here’s mine. Tell me what you think.

Yes I know I used the retired expressions Framelit again. Sorry I just love this die and can’t let it go. I hope Stampin’ Up! considers adding it to the main catalog. Just a note I hand drew the U and cut it out since I didn’t have anything that would make that shape U.

I also loved the reverse impression that you get when you cut out the Framelit so I decided to start playing with it a bit and see what I could come up with for a card using it. Here’s my design. Tell me what you think. I personally love both of them.
