Mother's Day projects - No.4

Less than a week to go till Mother's Day - eek!

Anyway, today's very quick post showcases another project from the CASE'd book files.  This time I was inspired by THIS  project by an American demonstrator, Dawn Griffiths.

It's a little bag with coordinating cards.  What Mum wouldn't want such a cute and practical gift.

Gift bag with cards inside

The pocket of the bag is made using a 6x6" page pocket protector ~ what an fabulous idea!

 

If you want to know how it's made the page the link above takes you to leads you to Dawn's video.  I used different DSP and stamp set and haven't embellished as much as Dawn does on hers but hopefully it will give you a few ideas.

Enjoy!   xx

Mother's Day projects - No.3

Now I have to be honest and say that this is a scheduled post as I wanted a lay-in this morning but still wanted to make sure that my post went up at a reasonable time ~ well, it is Sunday!  :o)

Today's Mother's day project is a quick little item that can be whipped up in minutes.

They are little mini-size post-it note holders, perfect size for carrying around in a purse or handbag when all you need is a little bit of paper to make a quick note on.

I used Versamark ink and clear embossing powder with the the Sale-a-bration stamp set "Sprinkled Expressions for the floral image and the sentiment from the "Delightful Dozen" stamp set ~ again, I know, but it's such a lovely sentiment.

Inside I stamped the coordinating image from "Sprinkled Expressions" in black StazOn ink, added a little stack of small post-it notes.  I used my Crop-a-dile to punch the hole, then used stitched poly ribbon in matching colour.

This is a really cute little item and can easily be adapted for any occasion.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone! ... xx

Mother's Day projects - No.2

Morning, hope you are well and you're able to find some time to be crafy this weekend!

Today is day 2 of my Mother's Day project ideas and today I have another card for you, but this one is defiantly very different looking to yesterdays.

As you can see, it is much more ornate, but it is just as simple to put together.  "Whisper White" for the card blank, with a layer of "Poppy Parade" then a layer of "Everyday Enchantment" DSP, which is just too gorgeous for words and I still can't believe that this is an free option as part of Stampin' Up's Sale-a-bration event.  I actaully had this much of the card put together for weeks, I liked the DSP so much that I didn't want to put anything over the top of it

Eventually I added the sentiment from the "Delightful Dozen" sentiment set, defiantly something for every occasion in that one, and added some butterflies cut out using "Beautiful Wings" embosslit, a couple of pearls on the butterflies and I was done.  As I say, a really simple card and a great layout that can be used again and again for all sorts of occasions and it still lets that beautiful DSP shine through.

I've also decorated an envelope to match using the floral image in the "Fresh Vintage" stamp set, which is also one of the options offered as part of Sale-a-bration.

Please note - Sale-a-bration finishes at the end of the month, so if you would like to get your hands on the stamp set or DSP featured today, only have until then.  Once Sale-a-bration is over these options will no longer be available, you won't be able to event buy them as they are exclusive to this event this year.

Happy crafting..... xx

Mother's Day projects - No. 1

Hello there,

Over the next few days I am going to share with you a few projects for Mother's Day ~ can you believe it's just over a week away, how did that happen!

My first project is a CAS, ("Clean and Simple"), card using the "Delicate Doilies" stamp set.

I stamped the main image in "Pool Party" classic ink, then, using a sponge dauber, added more colour to the image.

For the embellishment, I used one of the really cute buttons from the "Bitty Buttons" set and backed it with "Pool Party" cardstock.  I threaded some linen thread through the holes and tied a bow ~ yes, it was fiddly to tie ~ lol!

Hope you like it, please come back tomorrow for some more Mother's Day ideas.
