Mother's Day projects


The cards were very easy to make and the inspiration came from Pinterest.  The lace stamp is from a clear set (2011) by Pink Paislee, "Butterfly garden.  Hero Arts inks  Pale Tomato, Soft blossom and Tide Pool, favorites of mine.  The sentiment and butterfly are also from Hero Arts.

These boxes were made using a Sizzix large die by Eileen Hull called "flower pocket".  Stamped the inside of the boxes and covered them using  Pink Paislees clear set stamp  collection called "butterfly garden, 2011. 

Filled with tea packets and box of mints or

 tea packets and beautiful packaged soap.

I love the way they came out.  A perfect Mother's Day gift or for any other occasion.

Cards Using Crate Paper "Style Board"

A few cards made using a cute pattern papers from Crate Paper 6 x 6 paper pad called "Style Board".  A very simple and quick card layout. I pulled out several sheets of paper from the paper pad and looked through my ribbon box and sticker/embellishment stash to see what would go well with the papers. These cute little bird in a bird cage stickers?  An oldie by Jolee's Boutique called "Vintage Bird Cages" #50-20363.   "Many thanks" sentiment is a sticker and not a stamp.  I have had this cute birthday die cut for a long while and I was happy to have finally used it. "Free Spirit" is a chipboard piece by an old K&Company called "Dear Olivia". Fussy cut out flowers from the collection  I also used some Tim Holtz idea-ology stickers from the "quotations" packet.
