For my Mum

Hello! 

Today hasn't been a great day - feeling a bit rubbish and didn't have the best day at work. I'm completely shattered so this will just be a super speedy post as I really need my bed. 

I've got a card for the Paper Players' challenge this week. The challenge this week is to make a "mother" card - seeing as American mother's day is this Sunday it fits well although British mother's day was back in March. Anyway I haven't actually shared either mother's day cards I made for mum or mother-in-law so I thought I'd share one I did for my dear mummy!

Stamp Set: Something to Celebrate (retired), Beautifully Baroque

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Versamark

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe

Punch: Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Butterfly

Big Shot: Beautiful Butterflies

Accessories: Subtles Buttons, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Pearls

Other: White Embossing Powder

My mum likes butterflies so I thought a pretty card with lots of layered butterflies would be perfect. The baroque stamp just adds a really elegant touch to this card. 

A multitude of pearls, white embossed sentiment and button in the centre just make this a wow card. 

Sorry to be so brief, I'm off to bed, have a nice evening, I'll be back tomorrow! 

Happy Stampin',

50 anniversary - card 6

I thought I'd show you yet another of the anniversary cards I made recently. Are you getting bored yet?!

Polka Dot 50 Bow

Stamp Set: 

Ink: Versa Mark

Cardstock: Very Vanilla

Big Shot: Alphabet Simple Numbers, Perfect Polka Dots

Ribbon: Very Vanilla Satin

Extras: Gold Emboss Powder

So I embossed the card with the polka dot embossing folder and then added some of the lovely satin ribbon to the card. I wanted to keep everything very clean and monochrome so the textures and gold 50 and sentiment would really stand out!

Hope you enjoyed seeing another anniversary card today! Hope you are all having a great day! 

Thanks for stopping by,

just add cake

Another of the new Designer Papers is called Just Add Cake. A collection of brightly coloured stripes, dots numbers, letters in really scrummy cake and icing like colours. It really is a very yummy pack! 

Just Add Top Note

Stamp Set: Something to Celebrate (Hostess - Retired)

Ink: Wild Wasabi

Cardstock: Whisper White, So Saffron, Baja Breeze, Wild Wasabi

Punches: Modern Label, 5 Petal, 1" Circle, Itty Bitty

Big Shot: Fun Flowers, Top Note

So I cut squares of the DSP and adhered it in a patchwork style to the cardstock then ran it though the Big Shot. I assembled a flower out of cardstock in the same colours contained in the DSP. I finally stamped and punched out the sentiment and then ran my Wild Wasabi marker around the top note to give a very little extra definition against the Whisper White background.

I hope you liked today's share using some more new products! I have more Just Add Cake projects coming up over the next few days so please do stay tuned! 

Let me know what you think and leave a comment. 

Happy Stampin',

pearl wedding

Last month was my mother-in-law and father-in-law's Pearl Wedding Anniversary and today I just wanted to share with you the special card I made for them. 

Pearl Wedding 

Stamp Set: Something to Celebrate (Hostess - retired)

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand

Ink: Crumb Cake

Punch: Bird, Boho Blossoms, Itty Bitty

Accessories: Pearls, Frost White Shimmer Mist

A very simple card in very neutral colours and then spritzed with lots of shimmer mist to make it EXTRA extra glimmery and special. Finally I added some pearls to finish off the card and also because its a Pearl wedding - a just cause for pearls! 

Come back tomorrow for another creation! 

Hugs,

Amanda xoxo
