Mom

Happy Friday!!!

I needed another Mother's Day card (one for my mom and one for hubby's mom) and when I saw this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketch 174 I knew it was the perfect layout for a quick and easy card.

I love the gorgeous Moroccan background and in black it's so striking. The patterned paper is from the Authentique Renew collection. I used the High-Rise Alphabet to cut out the letters and backed them with black to help them stand out a little more.

Now I need to get this in the mail. Snail mail is so slowwwwww to Canada. Have a fabulous weekend!

Guess Who Loves You?

I'm playing along with this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketch 160. I can't believe I've already missed the first couple of sketches of the year. But the good thing is I'm jumping in now and it's never too late. :-)

I received some new goodies from the January release and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. Love it when that happens!!!

Pure Innocence Guess Who Loves You looks super cute in the largest of the Precious Polaroids Die-namics. Can you see her sparkly red glasses and the shiny lenses? The tiny Blu Raspberry heart is from the Layered Heart Border.

Since it's Christmas day, I couldn't resist making one last Christmas card for the year. This sketch lends itself to a clean and simple design, and I'm really happy with how my card turned out.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card base then added some Sno Cone. At first I left the Sno Cone layer as just a plain card stock layer, but once I had the central elements in place it needed a little something, so I used the Polka Dot Cover-Up Die-namics to cut out the holes and I backed it with more Sno Cone for a tone on tone look that doesn't overpower the other elements.

I used Wild Cherry to anchor the elements and cut out the circle with the Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics. I used the Insert It-Speech Bubble Die-namics to cut out the Kraft talk bubble and added a strip of Sweet Tooth for the horizontal element. I used the Negative Dot Alphabet Die-namics to cut out the "Ho Ho Ho" from Black Licorice card stock. Then I stamped the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from Starry Christmas using Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink.

I wanted to add another element to help balance the card so I used the medium size snowflake from Let It Snowflake Die-namics to cut out the Sno Cone flake, then I topped it with a rhinestone for some bling.

Wishing you a delightful holiday season!!!
