Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day to all!!!
I hope the day is whatever you want it to be.
I will spend part of the day with my mom and
part of it with my daughter and her family.
The only thing better would be seeing my son and
his family but I'm sure we will Facetime tonight.
Today's card is for all the moms and wanna be moms.
The card is made using the Birthday Blooms stamp set.
Mother's Day logo
The card base is Black with a layer of Whisper White
on both the front and the inside of the card.
There is a strip of Timeless Elegance designer paper
down the left side.
Decorative Dots embossing folder was used on the
next layer of Whisper White cardstock and attached
to Basic Black.
The flower is stamped with VersaMark ink and
embossed with Black embossing powers
and then colored in with Blush Clear Wink of Stella
was added to the flower petals.
This was punched out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch
and attached to a Black circle that was cut using
the Circle Collections Framelits (both the punch and
framelits are retiring — get them now).

The For You sentiment works for many occasions
but will work great for a Mother's Day card with
a little treat inside.

LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Happily Ever After

I have a second cousin getting married later
this month so I need to make a wedding
card.  This is the card we made at my Stamp & Go Club
this week — everyone was happy to have a wedding card.
The card features the Big News stamp set (retiring).
Happily Ever After logo
The base of the card is Thick Whisper White with a layer of
Whisper White that is embossing with the Lovely Lace embossing folder
and attached to the base with dimensionals.
The “Happily Ever After” was stamped with VersaMark ink
and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and then
attached to Gold Foil cardstock.  The heart was
stamped and embossed the same and cut out with
Paper Snips and attached with a dimensional.

I used the Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum,
the gold diagonal strip and attached it to another
Gold Foil cardstock.  This is attached to the card
with dimensionals.

I also Gold embossed the verse inside the card.

White Sox Baseball

I’m not much of a baseball fan but my
former boss and his entire family love
the Chicago White Sox.
I saw Rachel Tessman’s baseball card
on Pinterest and knew I had to make one
but I changed it up a bit to make a White Sox
card for Tom and his family.
The card features the Circle Card Thinlit
which is retiring and it’s on SALE!!!
Now is the time to order it before it’s gone forever.
White SoxThe card base is Smoky Slate — 5 1/2″ x 6″.
I used the Circle Card Thinlit to cut the card base.
It cuts the circle edges and scores the card all at once.

I used Timeless Textures with Smoky Slate ink to
stamp the top half of the card — I used the
mesh stamp first and then the wood look swoosh.

I layered the Black cardstock on the Whisper White
and attached to the bottom of the card.

The Circle Card Thinlit has lots of fun pieces to
cut out shapes.  I used the star framlit to cut out
the Smoky Slate star and stamped the star
from Pictogram Punches stamp set (retiring)
with Memento ink.

I cut out “YAY” from Whisper White cardstock
and stamped the mesh stamp with Smoky Slate ink.

On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped
five stars and punched out with the star punch
from Itty Bitty Punch Pack (retiring) and
attached them with Glue Dots.

For the baseball I punched a 2 1/2″ circle of Whisper White
(the 2 1/2″ circle punch is retiring too).
With a second “scrap” circle and Black Marker I
traced the curved line on my baseball.
In the Thinlit set is a chevron die — I used Real Red
cardstock and cut out six of the chevrons.
I attached the chevrons along the black line and
then added the dots between each chevron for stitch marks.

Now check out the card when opened up.
White Sox Inside
On another 2 1/2″ Whisper White circle I stamped
You’re a Star with Memento ink and added a couple
more stars stamped with Memento ink.

As you can see this card used lots of retiring product.
