Happy
Mother's Day
What Mother can resist flowers? Here we used the
basic 2 inch square punch to make a window for our dried
flowers. We punched a window in our card. To make
the meadow colored frame, we punched a window in that
color paper and then trimmed it so the sides were only
1/4" wide. The frame was then glued to the
front of the card.
Items used:
Microfleur
Impress paper - meadow, bluebell |

A
Bouquet for Mom
The wavy bouquet was stamped and then colored in. A
perfect bow for mom was made with the bow maker and then
glued to the card with crafters glue, a great glue to use
on flexible surfaces.
Items used:
Colorbox ink - cyan
D4775 - wavy bouquet
Memory Box Cards
Bow maker
Prismacolor pencils |

Happy
Graduation
Gift
enclosures are quick to make especially when working with
charms. Here we used the silver graduation charm.
This charm comes with a ring to attach it to the card
with. If you don't want to attach the charm with a
ribbon, simply twist off the ring by holding it with a
pliers or wire cutters. It's a good trick to use
when you think a piece of ribbon will distract from the
design of the card. Here we glued the charm to
the card. Congratulations was stamped inside.
Items used:
Charms - graduation
Gift enclosure envelopes
Silver Text Paper |

Wishing
you . . .
The
checked background on the base card (made by repeatedly
stamping the square block) adds a fun touch to this card.
Notice the narrow blue layer under the white stamped
piece. We love to use this technique when designing
a card. The narrow edge of the blue layer highlights
the blue flowers. It's just like matting a picture.
The color of the mat you choose can really affect the
total look of the project.
Items used:
Duplex Paper - bluebell, meadow
Prismacolor pencils
D4805 - grid vase/flowers
C4548 - lg rectangle block
Colorbox pad - sky blue, olive |

new butterfly punch is the perfect size to use with the
miniature envelopes. The punched out
butterflies were glued so they appear to be flying out of
the envelope. Best wishes was stamped with Colorbox
ink.

Tulip
Card
Here's a basic card layout that we like to use a lot. By
simply changing the punch or by using a different stamp
you can make a card for any type of occasion. This spring
card was made by decorating the block prints with two
colors of punched out tulips. We attached the front layers
to a Memory Box card that we trimmed to make a square.
Items used:
Tulip Punch
Memory Box Cards - pink
A4703 - Tiny solid square
Colorbox ink - canary |
