Mothers' Day cards

Good morning! The weather seems to have quietened down, and I seem to have got my crafting mojo back. 

Yesterday was Mother's Day, and these are the two cards I made - one for my Mum and one for my Mother-In-Law.

Both use Hunkdory Peony Dreams collection, which I think came out in 2019. The first one was for my Mum. The topper is from "Blossoming Dreams", and the sentiment from "A Lovely Day". And I used a bit of pink Core'dinations, ribbon and pearls.

The second was for my Mother-In-Law, and this time the topper is from "A Lovely Day" and the sentiment from "Blossoming Dreams".  And, of course, a bit of Core'dinations card, ribbon and pearls.

Take care, and happy crafting!

Birthday Tea

It was my lovely sister-in-law's birthday a few days ago. I made her this card using Hunkydory Pick and Mix - A Tea-licious Day.  

Behind the topper, I used Crafter's Companion 5x5 Tea Party Create a Card, cut in pale blye card. The other matts and layers are matt gold card, pink dots from Sara Signature Little Angel, and some pink Core'dinations. The flower is Sara Signature English Country Garden Lazy Daisy and Grand Floral.

I also dug out some Card Candy, and added a few pearls. 

Will be back in the next couple of days with the new challenge over at Use Your Craft Stash.

Happy crafting!

April 8th #2

Yesterday, I shared the first of my three cards for my April 8th family birthdays - my grandson's first birthday card!

Today I am sharing my niece's card- who was sweet 16. A very difficult time for her, as she is one of that group for whom her GCSE's will never be sat, and who will be hoping that the work she has done in her mocks and her coursework will get her the grades she wants. 

This is a 7x7 card using Hunkydory Pick and Mix - Girl Boss topper. It's pink - which is a colour she is rather partial too - and I like the message on there too.

The background is a combination of silver mirror card, some very old Create and Craft Textured Card (which isn't texture - just looks it), Crafter's Companion Matt Black card, and the pink is from Hunkydory's Floral Delight Card Block.

The letters are cut using Crafter's Companion Kinetic Alphabet, and the numbers using Diamond Press Block Alpha.  And as ever, it's all finished with ribbons and pearls.

Take care and stay safe,
