Better later than never...

Wow I usually get this done a lot earlier! I have had no time this week... it's been crazy! I wanted to make a card that had a stamped interior as well as exterior, but ran out of time to get to that one, so I made this card instead. So here's my take on CP's Sketch #14.

I used some SU!, some CM, and some Misc. ;^)

Mother's Day Cards

I scheduled this one out... cause I don't want anyone to see "their" card before I mail it ;^) (It happened with a birthday card in March...)

I used CM, SU!, and any Misc. crafty item I happened to need ;^)

My 5 year old watched me add color to the flowers for some of these cards and very sweetly asked if she could make a flower too. Such an easy request, so I stamped her a flower and she went to work. She did a great job and thought it came out so beautifully and we made it into this card... what a wonderful little helper I have!

This next one is my favorite out of them all, it's gorgeous!

I'll explain later... Ok, it's later ;^)

Ok, the picture above I posted to let one of my sisters let me what she thought of it... which is really funny because my other sister is the one who commented on the blog... too funny.

Anyway, I created the card based off the Card Patterns Design Team Call sketch. Every thing I used is SU! product except the white and light colored cs... I put links in my previous post showing where I got the ideas for the bows, so check there if you are interested!

CP Sketch # 13

This week there is another fun sketch over at Card Patterns!
When I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to do something similar to the set of Mother's Day cards I made -they will post on the 11th- and below is the card I came up with for Sketch #13. (There was another picture of it posted before, but with some help/advice I came to the decision that this picture best represents my idea.)

The stamps, ink, ribbon, and bravo burgundy & old olive cs are all SU! I used a SU! Blender Pen and the stamp pads to color (or paint as my 5 year old calls it) the flower.

{Oh and thanks to Marie for introducing me to blender pens! They are great}

The white & tan cs are misc., as is the brad on the cutesy little bow. For the bow I took This idea that I found Here ... but "tied" it together with the brad... it was a bit frustrating while I was trying to make it work, but I love how it turned out!
