Mother's Day - It's a Hoot!

A lovely Mother's Day start with a special card made with love by my litte one (with a little help from the Daddy Design Team!).  Owls are favourite in our house, with a life-long supporter of Sheffield Wednesday they are bound to be. Our little one is being brought into the Owls Supporters fold starting with the SU Owl Punch!  A card, all the more special when you know it's been made by that special someone.

Inspired by my card, I had a commission for my nephew for a card for my sister.  He is only 8 months old so too young to be crafting with me just yet (!), but I am sure this is just what he would have designed though.  So easy to put a design together with a few punches. 

Some designs actually come from making a bloop and that is what happened for the top border on this card.  I accidently used the cut blade and not the score blade on my trimmer when creating the card base so I quickly created a strip with a fold to cover it and make the folded card again.  I used the scallop border for the edges before sticking and it worked a treat!

For these cards we used:

Punches: Owl Punch, Boho Blossoms, Small Heart, Scallop Border, Pennant Builder
Big Shot: Little Leaves, Alphabet dies (retired)

We are off for a Mother's Day lunch now, hope you are all having a lovely special day too!

Vintage Verses

A fabulous card for you today made with one of the stamps from the Vintage Verses free Sale-a-bration sets.  A great way to say thanks and really great in fresh colours to match the 'Floral District' designer paper.  I have stolen the flower hearts idea from a Pinterest post and I just love it - another way to use the small heart punch featured on my valentine posts too.  Each heart is folded down the middle and then stuck overlapping.  I stuck each heart on the right side each time.  Sorry for the gap on the first flower, when photographing the heart was a little misplaced.  I am loving the Floral District papers too, I have another project on the go with this so make sure you come back to see again.

New on my blog today, I have added the 'Follow on Email' button so be sure to add your details to receive an email and make sure you do not miss any updates from me.  There are a few easy steps to folllow to set it up, but you will receive an email everytime I add a post.

Don't forget my workshop on the 7th March at 7pm to see more examples and make brilliant cards like this.
