Team make 2

This next team make you may recognise.

It's the one I used for my mother's day cards.

You know how it is....multi-tasking and all that

This was cased from kingsonpaddington.blogspot.com

We used natural white cardstock, stamped with Hardwood.

Then some newsprint DSP stamped and embossed with white leaves,

adding some more stamped leaves fussy cut,

and all those lovely details from the Artisan Embellishment Kit 

This is some of the girls creations

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Sunday everyone!

We are so lucky to have both sets of parents,

and so I'm sharing double the makes!

hmmmm no better, perhaps worse...

Their little Berry Baskets:

I can never do two bows the same can you?!

Have a lovely day wherever you are ,

whoever you are with,

and whatever you are doing!

Want to see another diamond fold springy card?

No?

Too bad, Im gonna show ya anyhoo!

So this is how it started 

Here's the topper,

and a separate piece with the wood grain for the greeting

back view, where I placed the greeting in the pocket

Front view (obvs)

inked around the edges to make it pop

with the greeting tucked in the back

see how I positioned the 'happy' so it peeked out

My neighbour liked this so much he phoned to thank me,

and to say it was sitting proudly on his mantle piece.

How nice and satisfying it is to have helped in 

a small way to make someone's day.

I love crafting!

Enjoy your weekend

Bloom with Hope

Here's a card we don't like to have to send,

but is strangely comforting to make,

because it enables us to focus on the departed,

and is a small token made with love for those left behind.

Susie was a lovely lady who was also a crafter,

and expert seamstress, and I am lucky to have some of her makes.

I chose these elements, because they seemed peaceful.

Hardwood is the background stamp,

the leaves are from World of Dreams,

and the sentiment is from Bloom With Hope.

Inks were Hello Honey and Memento black.
