Mother's Day card



I know this is kinda early but when making his card I thought I would make my mom's card early and get it out of the way this way I have it done. I seen on this other girls blog about a small square pocket card tutorial and I had to print to it out and make this card. So while my paint was drying for another priject that i am doing I made this. I am showing you the outside and the inside and the card for that will be inside also. This is so easy to make. I could not believe it. WOW!! I am going to be making another for my mother-in-law for mother's day.

Here is a layout for a recipe that I did a while back. I stamped my own background for it and the images on it are also stamped. I added glitter , just a touch not much for a little bit of glitz.

Quilled easter card and Envy


Her is a quilled card and envy that I did for a circle journal swap that I am in. The card is on top and the envy on the bottom. I stamped the background first on the card then I quilled all that I needed and put it all together. To make the ears pink I used a bright pink marker and colored so much of the inside circle of the ears bright pink. the envy I just stamped the flower in different colors of markers, than I put some 3-D stickers on the front.

Valentine Heart Flower

I made this card with heart punch that I have. Then to make the stem of the flower I cut a heart in half to get the stem. Then I put a mini rhinestone in the center.

Making Valentines


I thought this was a very good title for this card. I used a Fiskars corners rounder on the card and a paper trimmer also from Fiskars. I used a glitter pen around the 2 hearts just to add a bit of glitz. The ribbon I have had for a couple of years. I think it makes one nice card.

Layout -My Brother


I did this layout of my brother which is a rare picture that is taken of him. The first letters of the title are chipboard letters and the rest are miss matched letters of eyelets letters and so forth. I rubberstamped my own background as I didn't have anything that I liked in pattern papers but I did have in rubberstamps so I amde my own.The shapes are craft foam that is going along with the theme, but with a splash of color.
