Mother's day Card Series - Card #5

Mother’s Day Card Series

The fifth and final card in the series! Another simple make for mother's day.
This card came from a card sketch challenge which was put up on our demonstrators Facebook page, just as a little fun and to see what people come up with. Its a fab way to get inspiration from people with different styles.

For this card we will be using the Oh So Succulent Stamp Set (142992) along with the sale-a-bration stamp sets Delicate Details and Avant Garden. The card sketch we were given was from mftstamps.com. 

You will also need;

Very Vanilla 
* Card base (top folding) - 5 7/8 x 4
* Centre piece - 3 1/2 x 2 1/4
* Banner - 3 1/4 x 3/4 of an inch

Crumb cake cardstock - 4 1/2 x 3/4 of an inch

Bermuda Bay cardstock - 1 x 1

Ink: Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay and Old Olive

Decorative Label Punch was used on the ends of the Crumb cake banner.

Hope you enjoyed this video and those in the 'Makes for Mum' Mother's Day card series! If you use this card sketch to create a card, I would love to see your designs so please feel free to post in the comments with links to your photos :) 

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mum's out there!

Happy Stamping,

Sale-a-bration Delicate Details Notecards

Delicate Details ‘Thank you’ note card set!

Today I will be showcasing the Sale-a-bration Delicate Details Stamp Set (143314) to make a set of 8 3x3 ‘Thank you’ notecards. The sentiment was from the One Big Meaning stamp set (139420).

You will also need;

Very Vanilla - 6 x 3 then scored and folded at 3”

Ink: Bermuda Bay and Dapper Denim

Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246)

Envelope Punch Board (133774)

I went with Very Vanilla for the card base as a change from Whisper White, plus the Very Vanilla also adds a softer, vintage feel to the card. The Delicate Details stamp set is perfect for adding an edging to a smaller area, giving detail that is not overbearing for the size of card. Overall an adorable set to have on hand or to gift as a set.

There will be more projects coming up showcasing this lovely stamp set, so watch this space! Hope you enjoyed this video, have a fab week.

Happy Stamping,

Mother's Day Card Series - Card #4

Mother’s Day Card Series

Something not Pink for the forth card of the series! 

I know it is a very simple card but I actually like the clean and simple look of it. Super fun to make, many of the women in my family are not massive lovers of the colour Pink so I wanted to use a colour that could suit anyone. 

For this card we will be using the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set (140675) and the sentiment from the Oh So Succulent Stamp Set (142992).

You will also need;

Thick Whisper White - top folding card size 5 7/8 x 4

Mother's Day Card Series - Card #3

Mother’s Day Card Series

 

We are on to the third card of the series, an adorable little tea cup card! I am a Tea-a-holic and just love cards and stamps that have anything to do with Teacups, so when I saw this PDF on Pinterest I just had to use it!

For this card we will be using the lovely Oh So Succulent Stamp Set (142992) and Delicate Details Stamp Set (143314).

You will also need;

Tea Cup PDF Template

Thick Whisper White

Sweet Sugarplum cardstock

Whipser White cardstock

Old Olive Bakers Twine

Ink: Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Sweet Sugarplum

Cookie Cutter Punch

I absolutely love how this card turned out and I am defiantly going to have a play around with different designs. The Delicate Details stamp set was perfect for adding that fine detail to the top of the card and you can use any flower stamp set and dies to decorate. A simple yet elegant card for Mother’s Day! 
I just love how cute it is!

If you do not have a demonstrator, drop me a message, I would love to send you a catalogue :)

Happy Stamping,

Mother's Day Card Series - Card #2

Mother’s Day Card Series

Today I have the second card in my ‘Makes for Mum’ Mother’s Day card series, using the popular Oh So Succulent Stamp Set (142992). Apologies for a few jumps in the video, it was probably not the best day to film. One of those days as soon as you hit record there are a ton of interruptions…but finally managed to get a video done! :D

For this project you will also need;

Thick Whisper White: 6 x 6

Crumb Cake cardstock

Whipser White cardstock

Ink: Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Sweet Sugarplum

Sale-a-bration Metallic Ribbon

I love how versatile wreaths can be; they literally can be adapted for any occasion. The main star of this card is the beautiful ‘Oh So Succulent’ stamp set – which I just love!

Using a basic masking technique you can really add layers to the wreath without actually adding layers – if you get my drift. I also used ‘two step stamping’ giving shading and depth to the images. 

This stamp set allows more design options for you to craft with, giving you an outline image which you can use to colour in, or to make the most out of a single coloured ink pad with two step stamping (as seen in the video).

I hope you enjoyed this video! If you do not have a demonstrator, drop me a message, I would love to send you a catalogue.

Thank you for watching :)

Happy Stamping,

Mother's Day Card Series - Card #1

Mother’s Day Card Series

 

The first card in my ‘Makes for Mum’ Mother’s Day card series, showcasing the Sale-a-bration Avant Garden Stamp Set (143272). You will also need;

Thick Whisper White for Card base: 8 1/4 x 6 7/8

Flirty Flamingo cardstock: 3 3/4 x 5 1/2

Whipser White cardstock: 3 6/8 x 5 1/4

Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and Basic Grey.

Jar from ‘Jar of Haunts’ or ‘Jar of Love’ Stamp Sets

This card is a simple card perfect for beginners using minimal supplies. I used a basic masking technique to help give depth to the image and I love how it turned out.

You could add embellishments and Wink of Stella to really glam up the card, and adding different shades of flowers would make them pop! Also cutting out the jar and/or flowers and popping them up on dimensionals could really change the look of the card. All these ‘extras’ help alter the card if you are looking for something a little more advanced.

If you do not have a demonstrator, drop me a message, I would love to send you a catalogue. I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you for watching :)

Happy Stamping,
