Mother's Day

 Good morning crafty friends!




Card size:  6 X 6”

Use the Simple Centerpiece largest die to cut card base, making sure fold is just inside the cutting edge at the top so that it will not cut.  Cut a card front and the inside of card with the same die on decorative green and purple paper, then glue them to card front and inside.

Cut the large decorative die of Elegant Hearts Centerpiece from gold cardstock and from white cardstock, glue them together slightly off-set.  Cut an octagon frame size 3 X 3” using 2 Simple Centerpiece smaller dies together (One 3” and the other 2 1/2") from gold and from white, glue them together again slightly off-set.  Glue the 2 frames onto card front, centering.

Stamp the sentiment using Deep Purple Ink onto white, die cut it with a Simple Centerpiece die 2” then cut a gold 2” as well, glue them together as before, off-set.  Glue the sentiment to the center of card front.

Stamp Feathery Florals, Floral Feathers and the butterfly from Petite Feathery Florals using black ink onto white, die cut all then color with chosen method (Copic Markers used for this sample).  Form slightly from the back using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit with the largest stylist ball.  Glue the butterfly body (pop up wings) to the left side of the octagon frame and glue and pop up the Feathery Florals, Floral Feathers to the right side of card.

Stamp Small Wild Roses using Deep Purple on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper, sponge with Deep Purple, die cut then sponge edges again.  Form in the Shaping Mold then squeeze tips together for a ruffled look. Make one small flower a bud. Punch a small flower from green to make a sepal for the rose bud and glue it in place.  Fill flower centers with Prills then glue them in place on/around Feathery Florals.

Glitter the butterfly and the flowers using the Crystal Clear and Dries Clear Adhesive with a sponge.



My next card uses the decorative vase with flowers, feathers and butterflies.






 Card size:  3 7/8 X 8 3/4”

Cut shaped card using the outer die of the Slim Eyelet Heart Rectangle Die, (see video). Cut 2 coordinating panels from decorative paper using the same die. Glue 1 to the inside.  Using the Curvy Decorative Border die cut a curved border on the front side of card.  Cut the second decorative paper panel with the same plain edge curvy die as was used for the card front.  Glue decorative paper panel to front of card.  Cut a decorative curvy border from white cardstock then glue it to the card front.

Stamp feathers using Rose Madder, die cut and color.  Stamp sentiment using Rose Madder and Electric Green, sponge Electric Green images with Pink Peony.

Stamp Lilies using Rose Madder, sponge with Pink Peony and some with Rose Madder. Die cut, shape in mold, insert yellow Petite Pollen Stamen.

Stamp leaves using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and shape in mold.

Stamp vase using black on decorative paper and stamp butterfly using black, on white cardstock, die cut and color. Cut the decorative die from Vases from white.

Add pop ups to the back of vase parts of feathers and butterfly wings.  Add greenery and feathers to vase then glue/pop up vase and filler. Glue decorative white vase decoration to vase.

Use hot glue to add lilies to arrangement, insert leaves here and there.

Glue butterfly to top left of card above arrangement.  Add glitter to flowers and butterfly wings.
