Mothers Day 2012 Part 1

One of my friends has been asked to provide 100 Mother's Day cards to her daughters school's Mother's Day stall.  So I recently went over to help her make some cards.  I think we ended up making 50 cards in one night......yes it was late!

Over the next few posts leading up to Mother's Day, I'm going to show you some of the designs we came up with.  Some of them are CASEd, and I apologise for not having the originals to link.  I will however let you know when the card is CASEd or if it's an original.  We also pulled out a lot of retired sentiments, so apologies for that. 

Having said all that, this card is an original!!  It is a classic layout that always looks great.

I think we made 9 of this card.

Stamps: Posy Punch, sentiment retired

Ink: Pear Pizazz, Blushing Bride

Card Stock: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizazz, Whisper White

Other: Nursery Nest DSP, Blushing Bride Ribbon, Ice Rhinestone Brads, Fancy Flower Punch

More Paisley....

Again, a bit late in posting this card, as the paisley stamps are now retired from the Summer Mini Catalogue....but I do still love them.

Dimensional Banner

Love it......if a bit busier than my usual style of late!!

Next in the birthday present series....

I've decided that this is a fantastic birthday gift for all the children's friends this year.  Personalised for each child. 

DD2's friend again, this time favourite colours are pink and green. 

BTW - this is a great way to use up all that retired DSP that is loitering around my house.  And I still love Raspberry Tart DSP.

Please excuse thumb nail on the edge.....I had to hold the frame at the right angle to get rid of the glare on the glass.

This is a close up of the girl, who I coloured with Copic Markers.  Sorry, can't tell you which markers or what the stamp is as both were borrowed while at a friends house.

Sale-a-Brate Easter, just a little late......

Hmmmmm.......not very organised am I?????

Anyhoo....better late than never.

These are a couple of the chocolate pull boxes that I made for my children's teachers for Easter.  I found a great special on Lindt chocolate just before Easter, so I decided to go this way rather than the traditional Easter Egg gift.  As I'd bought 70% cocoa dark chocolate, they were rather well received!

These are just 2 versions, that I remembered to take a photo of before sending said children off to school with the other versions, but I did use the Everyday Enchantment DSP from the SAB catalogue for all of the others as well.

I also made these cute acetate boxes for my last technique class.....had to buy the Easter eggs for this one, but then it doubled as a gift for the next door neighbours!

Sale-a-Brate Birthday

DD2 has been invited to a girlfriends birthday party.  So out came my crafty ideas, and I whipped up this for her birthday.

The family have just moved house, so I hope that the name in the frame will give her a little ownership of her new bedroom.  Lets just hope that the colour scheme suits!!
