Bright and Cheery Mother's Day Card featuring Faber-Castell

Mother's Day will soon be here! With this card a rare thing happened. I made the card base using Bazzill cardstock. Next was a superb Color Me Card Topper by Hot off the Press, fussy cut at the bottom and colored with Wink of Stella and Gelatos by Faber-Castell. Accents include a dimensional sticker from my stash, Recollections bling and stamps by Stampin' Up! in Versafine onxy black ink.

Two stamps were displayed within. I'm sure this card would brighten any mothers' day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mom, Sending extra love your way! Mother's Day Card

I went in on this one y'all! I'm a mom and I know we need to be celebrated! Mother's Day is this Sunday! So I started with a card base by American Crafts, added a Color Me Card Topper by Hot off the Press, colored with Tim Holtz Distress Markers, added Recollections bling and stamps by Stampin' Up! in Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

The inside was simply stamped with another sentiment from the set.

More "Innies" from Elizabeth Crafts, Stampin' Up! and Lawn Fawn

I've been playing with Elizabeth Crafts outline stickers "innies" and Lawn Fawn stamps again! It's the left over design once the actual outline has been used. Sometimes there's no specific usable design and other times this gem is left... a full beautiful silhouette. The Stampin' Up! dies created a brilliant background for the scene.

The card base and the bling are from Recollections. This friendship card is sassy and cute. Lawn Fawn sentiments stamped inside and out with Memento tuxedo black ink complete the look.

Today I was inspired to the MAX by Kristina Werner! She created a fab Christmas card that I needed to try my hand at. Check out her version here on YouTube and here on her blog. 

I chose to make two versions using a digital stamp by Mo Manning – Little Elf Pipa and background stamps from Impression Obsession and Mowenta. Unlike Kristina, I fussy cut the digi and adhered it to the card front.

This was one of those labors of love that consumed me day and night. I am glad I spent the time on it. I made many mistakes like forgetting to prep the surface, ill stamping, heating the embossing powder too long but I still love the results. These are my fav cards of the hop.

Supplies:

·       digital stamp by Mo Manning – Little Elf Pipa

·       Epson WP-4530 Inkjet Printer

·       Stampendous – Fran’s Mixed Media White Paper

·       Tim Holtz Distress Ink – stormy sky, chipped sapphire, black soot, mini ink blending tools

·       Mowenta – background stamp (Christmas)

·       Impression Obsession – Christmas Text

·       Memento Luxe ink – Danube Blue

·       Wink of Stella – clear, white, blue, green, silver

·       Copics – 0, 110, Skin: E11, 13, 15, 18 R32 Outfit: R20, 24, 29, Shadow C3

·       Xyron 510

·       Ranger Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder – clear

·       Nicole Heat tool, Versamarker

·       Stampin’ Up! Embossing Buddy

·       Flower soft - polar white and Flower soft glue

·       Adhesive holographic paper – stash

·       My Pink Stamper – Biggie Christmas

·       Clear and Simple Stamps – Limited Edition: Joy

·       Worldwin – Doublemates cardstock: Glorious Green

·       Lawn Fawn – lawn ornaments – mixed sequins

Which do you like best????? 

mowenta

I am obsessed with two things... the sentiment by Clear and Simple Stamps is the words of the PHENOMENAL Maya Angelou and Memento Luxe ink – Danube Blue. You've got to get this ink! It comes in many colors and is just so rich, vibrant and yummy! It almost looks neon on these cards on top of the distress ink.
