Finally

It’s been a busy few months and unfortunately this has kept me away from my blog – but I’m back and hopefully, I will be around a bit more.

Now, where to begin – Mother’s day I think.

This is one that I made for my MIL.  Once again, I have made a parchment outer and stitched it to a lovely peach card blank.

This is another card that I made, this time with a parchment parasol and hand made paper roses.

Mother’s Day

Made especially for my MIL – I had to use the boy with the tulips stamp (‘cos we live in the land of tulips!).  The daffodils are made using my new flower punch and the centres are made from paper rolled around a cocktail stick. MIL loved it (phew!)

A handbag

As regular readers know, my MIL keeps all the cards that I make for her and my FIL in a handbag.  Occasionally, I try to get a handbag somewhere into the theme of the cards that I make for her. (Mother’s Day 2010)

This year, I made a handbag to use as the gift wrap for her present.

Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to those celebrating today (our Mother’s day isn’t until May here).

Here is the card that I made for my MIL

I made each rose – time consuming but well worth the effort.

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mums in the UK.

This year I wanted to make Mum a different sort of Mother’s Day card.  After some thought I came up with the idea of making an easel style card.  I wanted the design to be personal and this is what I came up with.

I embellished the card with handbags (MIL keeps all the cards I have made her in a handbag).

Until the next time.

More flowers, but this time for Mum

With Mother's Day fast approaching, I had to get down to work and design a card for the occassion. As I am still so much in love with the robo I wanted to design something that I could cut with the robo. The lattice is cut in one piece and stuck to the back face of an oval aperture card. The scalloped frame is cut separately and stuck to the front of the aperture, making a nice neat finish. The "Mum" was cut from pink card and stuck to the lattice. To finish off, I dug out my favourite flower punches and made two large daisies and 3 small. The centres are tiny gemstones.

Now available from our shop

Would also make a great birthday card.
