Mother's Day Cards and Older Projects

Good evening everyone, 

I have been working on some Mother's Day cards. 

And as you know in England it comes earlier than in the states. 

I thought I would also post some older projects as well :) 

So I will start with the newer ones and work thru to the older projects.

The first projects are the Mother's Day cards I have been working on. 

I wanted something simple and pretty and had seen this sort of design

on cards. I like the honeycomb look :)

The flowers are cut out on my cricut expression machine, and 

I used a free SVG file from  Bird's Cards and you can find them here. 

I followed her directions on how to make them look more real.

I also used a free SVG file from Bird's Cards for the pennant.

You can find them at the link above.

To make the hexagons, I used my MTC software and 

sized them to fit inside one another.



Valentines Day cards

The stamp is from House Mouse designs. I used promarkers on the image. 

I love how it turned out. 

Other items used: 

Papers from My Minds Eye

Sentiment from: Whimsy Stamps and Dies

Gems and Ribbon from stash

Flower Punch

This is another Valentines day Card I made for another friend.  

Perfect Mailbox

This mailbox is a SVG file from My Scrap Chick you can find it here. 

It was super easy to put together. I have made a few for some friends birthdays. 

Side View

As you can see the mailbox does open. It can hold quite a bit of candy or other small items.

 Christmas Bag

 I made this Christmas bag for my daughters teacher. 

She really loved it, I put cookies in it for her along with 

some peppermint candy canes.

The bags I bought from a local store, and then used some SVG's that I 

got from SVG CUTS to spruce the bag up.  You can find the set here.



Beary Christmas

Here is a small Christmas card I made for a friend. It was really 

simple to make but turned out so super cute.

The stamp is from FizzyMoon

and I used Promarkers to colour it in. I then used some string glitter to 

add some dimension to the card.

Thanks for stopping by,

Get Someone Else To Make It (Emma Crafting 5yrs)

My daughter Emma loves to make cards with me.
I have a huge box of scraps , that she digs thru til she finds something she likes.
So when I seen this challenge, "Get Someone Else To Make it " over at http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/ I knew she would be happy !!

So here is her card !
She stamped the Magnolia stamp herself, and she cut it out and coloured it in herself. She picked the paper from my scrapbox, and she picked red cardstock.

Christmas Cards 2008

This is a selection of the Christmas Cards I made this year.

I used glitter, brads,bells, ribbon, and eyelets . The papers I believe came from a Papermania pack.
The cardstock came from the Papermill shop.

Some of the cards I made into shakers ..The snowmen cards. The hearts was the shaker piece.

Some of them have a Magnolia Christ Santa stamp on them. I used Sakura Glaze and Stardust pens on them .


On some of the cards I used Cuttlebug embossing folders, and then used glitter to highlight some of the snowflakes.

Some of the cards I made had vintage pictures that I have in a collection for old postcards. Some of them were 3-d decoupage.

I also made some cards with an Origami Christmas Tree.

Thanks for looking :)
