Mother's Day make

-


This was a recent project that I made especially for my Mum for Mother's Day...
it may look complicated or hard to achieve but it was simple to make and I think it looks amazing. I wish I could take all the credit for this design but I have Sam Calcott to thank and you can follow her tutorial if you follow this link...

Sams tutorial

The flowers were almost all created by using the free die sets from these magazines...





 

 








I started off by taking a 6x6 inch card blank and my large plain nested circle dies and placed some on top to find which would be the best size and then I took the next from a couple of sizes down and cut them out together to created a wreath shape. I scored my card blank on the front only at 3 inch's to give me an easel style. My next job was to chose some paper from my stash which I would use to mat     and layer onto the front part of the cut out section. Once this was done I  used the smaller of the two        circles from the wreath and I cut out the bottom section whilst it was folded. Once this was done I        took the wreath I  had made and attached it to the front. I also used the same papers to mat and layer        the bottom of the easel.

The next thing was to cut and adhere a piece of acetate into the middle of the wreath which would allow me to place my sentiment with the illusion of it being suspended in mid air, which I think looks pretty cool! I used a shape from my stash of nestable dies and I cut out two of a larger size in the same colour I used for my mats and then in the next size down one in plain cardstock and one from the other mat layer paper I had used by using the two different sizes this enabled me to layer my sentiment. This was taken from an Apple Blossom stamp set called Springtime Sentiments.

I next started to die cut the flower parts and leaves from plain white card and then used Distress Inks to colour them...

Peacock Feathers

Squeezed Lemonade

Picked Raspberry

Dusty Concord

Worn Lipstick

Twisted Citron

Mowed Lawn

I then used a ball tool and a moulding mat and gave them all some shape and dimension and started to assemble my flowers using hot glue. Then I started to attach them to the wreath...I took one of the bird stamps from Hunkdory's For the Love of Stamps magazine issue 2 and coloured it with my Aqua Blue Blend Spectrum Noir Triblend Alcohol Marker and then I popped it up on a strip of acetate. I also die cut the bees from Let's Make Cards Magazine and coloured them with the Light Yellow Blend. Ice Blue Blend and Ice Grey Shade Alcohol Markers.

I used some letter dies to cut out M, U and M in the pink mat colour and the plain white as I wanted to offset them to give a shadow look and I added it to the other shapes I had previously die cut and then I used some foam pads to add extra height as this was going to be my stopper for my easel card. I then thought it would look nice with a bow so I turned, once again, to my magazine freebies...


and used the bow that came free with Die Cutting Essentials Magazine Issue 34.

Lastly I die cut three butterflies and attached these to my card and finished it of with some heart embellishments and some Nuvo Drops to the centres of some of the flowers.

I really hope that you like this and feel inspired to try something similar yourself...

Much love and happy crafting

Today’s make Is a card made using product from several different brands... It has a 6 x 6 white card base which has been matted and layered with Tonic Studios Craft Perfect card stock in Aubergine Purple which I gutted using a large square die. The next layer has been embossed using the Dotty Floral folder from Apple Blossoms All Occasion Collection. I used Spectrum Noir marker PL3 to colour the flowers and added Simply Creative 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres. I next cut out the sentiment strip using Apple Blossom’s Spring Occasions set. The next step was to ink the sentiment which I took from Creative Stamps Easter Chicks and Bunnies set (which is where the bunnies came from also). The cute little bunnies have been coloured with Spectrum Noir markers... Left bunny - MB1 and MB2 Right bunny - RB1 and RB2 Both bunnies have AP1 for the insides of the ears and IG2 blended out with the colourless blender marker and these areas have also been covered with a Wink of Stella ...

 Today's card features Time for Tea Designs products. To start with I took a 6 x 6 inch card blank and then using my nesting square dies, I cut a piece of red glitter cardstock from the Works, to make a layer. I next took another of the square dies and die cut a white layer, which I stenciled with the T4TD Starry Heart 6x6 stencil using Festive Berries Distress Ink and then placed to one side to dry. I then moved onto stamping the owl, branch and sentiment from T4TD Be Owlsome stamp set. I used Memento Tuxedo Black as I wanted to use my Tri Blend Alcohol Markers from Spectrum Noir. I used the following pens: Ice Grey (IG2, IG4 & IG5) Ice Grey Shades (IG8) Earth Brown (EB3 & EB2) Alpine Green ( AG1 & AG3) Dark Red Blend (DR1, DR3 & DR4) Coral Blend (CR3 & CR5) & Magenta Blend (MG2 & MG3). I used the coordinating dies to die cut the owl and the branch and then added some white Gelly roll pen to add highlights and I created a frame around the sentiment with...

 Today's Card features Time for Tea Designs. This is a plain and simple card using the coffee cup stamp along with one of the cute little bears from the Time for Tea Designs Bearing Gifts stamp set. I started out by die cutting a piece of cardstock using a frame from my stash and then after placing the coffee cup stamp onto an acrylic block I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to create a random background. I also stamped another coffee cup and the bear which I  used the coordinating die set to cut out.  My next task was to start to colour these little cups and for this card I decided to use my Spectrum Noir Tri blend alcohol marker Purple blend (PL2, PL3 & PL4) I also used the Ice blue (IB1) and Ice grey (IG2 & IG4) markers on the cups. I coloured the little bear using the Earth Brown blend (EB1, EB2 & EB3) Next I die cut a oval out of white cardstock which I stamped the sentiment on using Flirty Fuchsia ink by Catherine Pooler. I then used a white gel pen to add ...
