Mother's Day Card 2019

I made this Mother's Day card earlier this morning. My Mother-in-law, doesn't seem to recognise how much effort I put into my personal cards, they usually just get a glance, so I thought I would go with a card with a classy look but one that took little effort.

For the background, I used a Stampin' Up patterned paper from the pack called "Floral Boutique".  I used two sets of Spellbinders dies.  The larger white background die is called "Victorian Medallion Two".  The one with the sentiment on is called "Jubilee Tags".  It was just a case of layering - some flat and some elevated with foam pads to give depth.

Spellbinders Floral Boutique Card

For this card I used two patterned papers from the "Floral Boutique" stack, which I think I got from The Range.

I have used two Spellbinder dies. The large one is from the "Decorative Fancy Diamond" set.  The other smaller one around the sentiment is from the "Victorian Tags" set.

I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from the Stampin' Up set called "Iconic Occasions".

You're In My Thoughts Card

For this card I used a Stampin' Up "Floral Boutique" patterned paper and Spellbinder die from the "Renaissance Jubilee" set.  The sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set called "Fillable Frames Sentiments".

A New Grandparents Card

I made a quick New Grandparents card for a relative this morning.  I used a die cut stamped sentiment (the stamp was from Inkwell Stamps).  Mounted on Stampin' Up "Floral Boutique" patterned paper.

Floral Boutique Birthday Card

Well I've been absent for a few days due to family commitments and the new craft studio.  Today I made this card for a member of my family who will be celebrating a land mark birthday in a couple of weeks.

I used Stampin' Up "Floral Boutique" paper and a self-adhesive gem stone letter "s" that I picked up in "The Range".  I also added a lot of sticky gems to the centre of the patterned paper design.

Floral Boutique Storage Jars (Stampin' Up)

Waking in the middle of the night does have benefits.  I got up and covered some pots and jars with patterned paper.  I think they look quite pretty.

I started off with an old coffee tin I had washed and put by for some sort of craft project.

The tin measured 27cm x 15cm tall.  I found a set of patterned papers (Stampin' Up, Beautiful Boutique range) that I thought would work well and cut them to different widths adding an additional cm to the measurement for overlapping.  

Using double sided sticky tape, I stuck the top row to the tin and worked my way down woth the two other patterned papers to the bottom.  I added ribbon as a trim and put the plastic lid of the tin on the base (so that it doesn't scratch the surfaces).  I then did the same with a couple of jars.
