Mom's Day #2

Here's my 2nd mom's day card. I used to make cards for my friends, but I haven't worked back up to that yet.  I'm just happy that my MIL and stepmom will have *real* cards this year, lol!

The "mom" is from Echo Park's This and That line (love!).

Enjoy!

Lots of Cards Today

One month shouldn't contain the need to make so many sympathy cards when most of the recipients are in their 30s... but that is how the end of November was for many of my friends and their family.  I'll say it again... tell those you love how much you cherish them.  Put aside your differences and cling to your similarities.  Give them a hug! 

Enjoy!

Botanical Silouhettes

Even though I've not used it often, the PTI anniversary set is one amazing beautiful set!  Plus, I just LOVE Label Basics.  Today and tomorrow, since I can't go to Cinci with my PTI friends, I am getting to play (less today because I have to do those wife and mom things like buy food and laundry!)... and I can't wait to play with Little Labels!

Enjoy!

PTI MIM: Tissue Paper

Well, this was an interesting challenge for me... I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out, but in the end I really liked the results.  I made an easel card (you can google easel card tutorial) out of Rustic Cream cardstock and use Road Trip stamp set and paper.  Then, I added in a bit of Botanical Silhouettes.  I didn't have Melon Berry ink, so I mixed some inks to create the illusion.  Then, added in some distressing and sewing and even a few diecuts to create some additional interest.  Finally, I covered it with the tissue paper (and yea for running it through your die cut machine- that is a must!).  Then, more distressing, restamping the sentiment and adding a few more things to balance it all out and voila. :)  It was done!

Enjoy!
