Mother's Day 2022

As a member of the PaperHouse Productions Creative Team and also a Brand Ambassador, I received the most beautiful box of their products recently . I wanted to use some to create a few Mother's Day cards and especially  to show you how quick and easy it can be  .  I first chose 2 sheets of 12x12 paper - one with an overall pattern and another with 12 tags .

Using my paper cutter, I cut the 12 tag images first . I then cut 6 card fronts from the gold floral paper - each measuring approx. 4 x 5 1/4 inches. I wanted to leave a bit of my A2 card base showing .

I chose some stickers and die-cuts to use as embellishments. I used foam tabs on a few cards to add some dimension .

I adhered the gold floral paper to A2 card bases - a variety of black, kraft and turquoise. The hardest part was choosing which of the stickers and die-cuts to use since I loved all of them.

The tags were also adhered to  a variety of colors of card bases, I used foam tabs with a few of the die-cuts and also used staples on the Best Grandma tag.  

The gold floral cards were so easy to put together with just a few embellishments on each that really created an elegant card. 

I will be taking some of  these Mother's Day cards to work to offer for free to co-workers for their mothers and grandmothers . My mom has been gone since 1994, but I will send cards to 2 aunts . I hope you were inspired to use your 12x12 papers to make some quick and easy cards . You can find some gorgeous cards and embellishments at PaperHouse Productions to get you started.

October Cookies - Take 3

I'm excited that we get to do a 3rd Cookie Challenge this month !! We also get 3 paychecks this month so I am feeling extra lucky !! I have to say that the cookie photo for Challenge #129 is absolutely gorgeous - those colors together are fantastic. This Challenge runs through November 13, so be sure to link up a project by the deadline.

I decided I wanted to use that amazing color combination for my project !! I have been working on my November planner pages and had the perfect stamp to use  from Your Next Stamp. Ellie Loves Lattes was the perfect size for my new Rifle Paper planner. 

• I stamped  Ellie on watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and then cut it out with the matching die.
• The stamped image was colored with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens .
• I adhered Ellie to the right side of my November monthly planner page.I used Autumn patterned washi tape and multiple Autumn-themed stickers to complete my pages. Dots were placed on the dates that I work. Coffee cups are placed on the days I have coffee dates with my bestie.
• Many of the Autumn stickers that I used were from PaperHouse  Productions .
