Sketch- Mother's Day Card

Oh goodness, I think this is my 4th post today. I am tired. So I'll be quick in sharing this card. I used my Cricut Imagine to print all the papers used (my machine is running out of ink, so the colors looked distorted). I added some ink and stamped background stamps on some of the flowers. The sentiment if from My Creative Time. The flowers are cut from Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet.

The sentiment continues in the inside of the card to say "Mother's Day"

I inked some vellum and cut the butterfly with a Martha punch then added some Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

This card will be entered into these challenges:
1. The Pink Elephant- All about Mom
2. Little Scrap Pieces- Mother's Day
3. More Than Favors- Mother's Day
4. Docerela Creations- Mother's Day
5. My Creative Time- Sketch challenge
6. Celebrate the Occasion- Mother's Day

Forever Young Mother's Day Card

Yeah, I got one more Mother's Day card out the way. Next year I really think I'm going to mass produce something super quick and simple. But I always enjoy making a unique card for each unique person. So hard to break habits like that.

Anyway, I made this card base on two challenges. Sketches By Carly required me to follow a sketch and the other challenge at Scrappy Moms Stamps wanted you to cut an image off Forever Young.

The flowers were cut from Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet, the circle border is from Cricut Art Philosophy, the lady is from Cricut Forever Young. I added some Viva Decor Pearl Pen drops to the center of the flowers. I also made my own print paper (the light pink paper) with a script stamps from MCT.

Here is my card. I will be giving this to one of my aunts. I hope she likes it.

Lovely Layout

Hello Crafty friends, 


Today is a special post as I am submitting this Mother's Day layout I made to a Design Team Call at Bitten By the Bug 2. 

I just love how this turned out and the colors look fantastic together. I will be putting this into a white shadow box frame and giving it to my mom for Mother's Day. 


Here are some details:
-Dress form cut from Cricut Nifty Fifties at 9". The dress is actually made of fabric (there is a cute fabric paper stack from DCWV)!!! I jazzed it up with some ribbons, ruffle lace and pearls. 
-The 3D butterfly is from Recollections.
-The layered flowers are from the Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge at various sizes. 
-The square shape doilies are cut at 3.5" from Cricut Art Philosophy (CTMH) and the two different scrolls are cut at 2.25 and 1.63.
-The stickers that say LOVELY are from the dollar bins at Target.
-The circle under the 5x7 photo mat was cut from Plantin at 7".
-The papers are from my stash. Many of them are glittery, iridescent or metallic which the camera doesn't do justice on their beauty. 

Have a Crafty day!

Flower Pot Card

OMG, this card is ADORABLE!!! I hand cut the flower pot and used a Martha Stewart Border punch on the pot. The flowers were cut from Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet (various flowers were used). I layered the flowers and put brads in the center. I added some ribbon around the pot. The bunch of flowers can be pull out to reveal a card with a sentiment stamped on it that says "If friends were flowers, I'd pick you."
