Card bringing joy

This digistamp is called Blossoming Winnie and is available from Polkadoodles and she just fills me with joy! I have coloured her in various colourways, but this week matched the colouring to “Chloe’s Bumper papare pack” that came with a magazine, These coral colours are perfect for sending someone best wishes.

Happy Mothers’ Day

Dear Mothers – you are awesome. I am the oldest woman in my line now, so I no longer send cards for Mothering Sunday. However I make them for my children to send to their paternal grandmother and to their Godmother. This card is made from a Hunkydory kit called So Chic. I made the 3d flower by sticking peel-offs onto patterned paper, cutting them out and layering. The sentiment was printed from a home computer.

Creative Moments – DT Call

Today I’m sharing another of the Christmas cards that I made. This was a Hunkydory kit and made a delightfully pretty card. I found some gems in my stash to add some balance and finish it off. The photo doesn’t really do justice to the colours on this card.

Don’t forget that we are holding a DT call over at Creative Moments. If you are reading this and have thought that joining a challenge blog might be a fun challenge, please click through to enter 2 of your blog posts which demonstrate your style.

Mothering Sunday

I have used Papermaina’s Folk Floral range for today’s card, which was made for my dear Grandmother.  I printed the sentiment then used a frame from the range to mount it.  The flowers were die-cut as part of a decoupage sheet but were perfect as final embellishments on the card.

Challenges:

• Glitter n Sparkle – Mother’s Day
• Crafty Calendar – mum’s day /special female
• Crafty Friends Challenge –floral 
• Creative Knockouts – Flower Power
• Cute Card Thursday – Mother’s Day
