Mothers' Day cards

Hello,
these are the cards I made for my Mom and my Mother-in-law this year.

Both were made using a Hunkydory kit which was a members gift, and were made using 8 x 8 cards fold back on the front.

I also used Tonic dies: the Mothers' day die from the Affections die set and also the Sent with Love sentiment from the Miniature Moments collection.

I finished off my Mom's card with some blue roses and Mother-in-law's with some gold pearls.

Thanks for stopping by, if you'd like to leave a comment it would really be appreciated.

Exploding box

Hello there,
this is the last 3D item I made for my Certificate in Paper Crafting course, and was my first attempt at an exploding box.

I used quite a few Tonic products such as the layering dies to cut the squares, the On Mother's Day insert from the Affections die set, the Pretoria alphabet die set and the butterfly from the Fae Trellis topper die set.

I made the flowers using the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur die and stamp set with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Sparkle embossing powder.

I added family photos as it was a present for my Mom on Mother's Day who loved it. Hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mother's day cards

A couple of Mother's Day cards, very different, one used the Tonic Studios Affections die set and the other was from a Hunkydory kit.

This is on an 8 x 8 card blank and I used a combination of cream and antique gold pearl card cut and layered up, finished off with gold pearls and a bow made with ribbon from a box of chocolates which matched perfectly! The chocolates were good too :-)

The Hunkydory kit is Floral Enchantment and is mainly flowers but has a sheet of 4 bird toppers in it too. Again it's an 8 x 8 card blank but folded back down the centre of the front and then backing paper fixed to the front and the inside. I layered the topper onto pink then lilac card, put some Glamour Dust into the centres of the flowers, stamped a sentiment and coloured in shades of lilac then finished it off with a lilac ribbon bow.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like them, as always any comments welcome.
