PAPER GARDEN's MOTHER's DAY CARDS 2018




*click on photos for close-up views

Welcome everyone to my blog!  
As part of the Paper-Garden's 2018 Mother's Day Cards Challenge I have
created a card using Paper-Garden's beautiful cardstock
 and a few of my favourite dies and techniques. 

To see how you can help determine the winners for the challenge, see below.

Choosing beautiful colours to celebrate Mother's Day was fairly 
easy as I always love the combo of pink, green and white!  
To make it more fabulous, Paper-Garden's soft shimmering cardstock 
really adds that lovely quality you'd want in a card for your Mom!
 Look for their Curious Metallics cardstock. The white base of 
my card is their sturdy cover weight in Ice Silver. I am a real fan now!

I chose to use my Fantasy Floral 3D Die Set from Altenew, and my 
Large Lace Faerie Queen (butterfly) die.  I wanted the title MOM
to be simple and in subtle contrast to the fussiness of the flowers
and butterfly!  White on white is always so clean and fresh!
The flowers were cut from Altenew's 3D type dies and I watercoloured
the flowers using watercolour pencils. 



Inside card
I fell in love with this gorgeous green cardstock immediately! 
It's called Stardream Fairway. 
It's shimmer is distinct and I am sorry if that is not easily seen in
my pictures, but trust me, you will love it. In expressing a sentiment
to one's Mom you can't go wrong with a simple visual of hearts!


close-up 
The butterfly is very detailed and requires attention to die-cut it well. 
But I used a cardstock that has a tone-on-tone satin-to-matte finish and when you 
sponge ink onto it, the pattern becomes more obvious. I layered the die so I
could fluff up the butterfly. The same goes for the hearts - everything helps
to add dimension and life to this card.  

I hope you've enjoyed my card, and thank you for visiting.

YNS Challenge #3 YNSC3

Hi folks, Having fun this week playing with my fav summer theme of sea creatures!  And to justify it even more, I am playing along with YOUR NEXT STAMP's CHALLENGE #3 "Anything Goes"!   You can see their challenge details HERE ! Deadline is Weds. midnight. I already was toying with ideas involving 3D projects lately and wanted to do something within a frame, and so I put two'n'two together and here is my entry....my " Mermaids Playing in the Sun Shadow Box ". The frame was one I had for awhile, maybe two years?  And my stamps from Your Next Stamp are the adorable mermaid set, Happy Birthday Mermaid which I acquired about two years ago also! Coincidence - I think not! LOL! Later I plan to embellish this even more once I find my darn box of tiny shells!  Maybe some charms? Heck who knows! :) I am going to write up a more detailed post about creating this by the week-end, so return here if you care for that.  Tomorrow I am going to be trainin...

Beautiful Birthday Card from my Daughter

I was ' speechless ' on my birthday when my daughter presented me with her own hand-made card for me! Reason is that when we got up that morning we were in each other's company and yet somehow she managed to sneak off into my craft room and pull this together without me knowing it - - I was totally caught off guard, lol -- and loved it!!! She has always impressed me with her creativity because she doesn't do hand-craft items very often - she is more of an 'online creator' - I have her to thank for all my web banners and general blog technical help :) I was happy to see the cute butterfly resting on the branch, that is something I would not of thought of! Anyways, it was a lovely gesture and a thoughtful card. Beverly SUPPLIES LIST  Stampin' Up!   Eastern Bloom and Kindred Spirit stamp sets. Bella Rose  Designer Paper Pink Pirouette cardstock.

Fun with Tags!

That is exactly what I had with this tag.....amongst all the oodles of cards I am making for a craft fair coming up, I am taking breaks by making projects that use all kinds of different elements.  Sort of like a cardstock 'stew', lol.                                                          Cute  Gift Tag or Notecard TAG BASE  1. First, I started with a small piece of cardstock of 3 x 6 inches, folded to create a square 3 x 3 inch tag. 2.  I layered a BAJA BREEZE cardstock square on top of the tag - I used my SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH to create the pretty corners! 3. To rev it up a bit, I glittered the bottom of the tag with some of Dazzling Diamonds. TAG DECORATION 4. I stamped  my lil' WALRUS  on a punched out '1-3/4 in.' Circle  of Whisper White cardstock  - then while I "maske...
