Hi!  Where has the day gone?!?   Where has the week gone, for that matter!  LOL  I'm just peeking in to share some cards I've made for Mother's Day (I did not make them all today but just now got around posting them):

 I really like the colors and simple elegance of it:

I wanted to make fun card and came out with this one which has a notebook vibe to it.  

I call it "Mom Note"

This is another fun card, kind of springy and joyful looking:

This one I made using a sketch by the talented Melissa Cash:

This one I made for a challenge CASEing another talented designer: Melanie Muenchinger:

Well, that's it...  Keeping it short and sweet today!

Colorful Butterfly

I'm on a roll today!  This time I'm posting for Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger.  Here's the trigger for this week's challenge:

I love the watercolor effect and the vibrant colors of the butterflies.  So that's my inspiration!  Here's my card:

The butterfly lies inside the card, kind of peeking out the circle on the front:

PS (In case you're wondering, the greeting says "Happy Mother's Day" in Spanish)

I colored the butterfly stamp with stamp markers using the colors on the trigger.  To help achieve a watercolor effect, I smudged the colored stamp on a water-saturated paper towel, and then stamped on  the paper.  I was not sure what to do on front of the card, but as soon as I saw this printed paper, I thought it would complement the butterfly nicely, so I went for it.  

I cut out the circles on the front using Spellbinders dies.  The circle on the card base is one size smaller than the one on the printed paper.  To add interest, I colored the white section left in between the circles so that it serves as a frame for the butterfly.  

List of Materials

Base: Gina K. Designs (GKD) PUre Luxury card stock

Layer: My Mind's Eye (Ooh-La-La Paper Stack)

Stamp: GKD Nature's Greetings Kit 

Markers: American Crafts (Taffy, Grape, Apricot); Copic (RV04)

Rhinestones

Hope you enjoyed the visit!

Sew Pretty Mother's Day Card

Hi!  This is my first post of new material since I moved my blog, and I am excited to kind of be back participating on challenges!  Today I'm posting for My Craft Spot's Monday Challenge, Make It Pop!  I have been working on some cards for Mother's Day so this week you may see a few of those!  For this challenge we had to use dimensional foams to make a part of the card pop.  I just love how the card takes on new life when dimension is added!  Here's my card:

I like sewing but it took me a while to find a setting on my machine where I actually liked the stitching. I still have to practice a bit more more I think I've come a long way from my first stitches!  

Below is a view of the card laying flat so you can see the oval 'pop out'! 

List of Materials:

Base: Gina K Designs (GKD) Pure Luxury card stock

Layers: My MInd's Eye Ooh La-La paper, GKD Jelly Bean Green

Stamps: Flower -GKD Great Sayings, Oval trim - GKD Spring Mix; Sentiment- Ditto PS0551 

Pink Rhinestones 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a bright day!
