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;


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,
