Happy Mother's Day!

Good evening,

On Friday, I shared some cards that my friend Nettie made (you can see the post here), and I really liked the layout of one of them especially so I decided to CASE it for my mum's mothers day card. I saw her this morning to give her the card so I know it's safe to show you now.

I went with the neutral Mocha Morning DSP, it's my mums favourite so I knew I was onto a winner with this one. I have used all the same elements as Nettie did in her original card expect I have stamped that in Chocolate Chip. I added Champagne shimmer paint to the little leaves die cuts, and another of the Antique tags.I also coloured some pearls with a gold pen and added them to the stamped image.

I was very glad when my mum opened her card and smiled, it's the best feeling when you're giving a card, and I'm happy to report that Julie my boyfriend's mum also loved her card (you can see it here).

Happy mother's day!! xx

Simply Stampin' Theme Week

Good morning crafters,

You all did such a good job with those colours last week, that this week we thought you needed a little more of a challenge, so this weeks Simply Stampin theme is Totally Tags.Whether you use them on a card, scrapbook page, or you just want to make up a stash of them we want to see multiple tags!

I decided to make a tag card, the tags are tucked into a pocket and can be re-used, as a tag or a bookmark.

This card is for my boyfriends mum for Mother's day, so I wanted to make it special, I've added all my favourite things, ribbon, crochet trim, paper flower, antique brad, and if you look closely you'll spot a cute little Antique Tag dangling from the flower, there are so sweet, and I think they'll be popping up a lot in the future!

I don't think you can see but the centre of the flower (made with the scallop circle punch) is an Antique Brad, here is a close up of the tags,

I have left the other side blank so they can re-used if Julie wants too.

If you need more inspiration for your take on the challenge then head over and see what the rest of the team has come up with, xx
