This kit is full of pretty pink, turquoise and green. Since Mother's Day is coming up, I thought the papers and embellishments included would be perfect for some cards. I made 3 cards since I have my mom and 2 mother-in-laws. I like that they all turned out so different and they were made with each recipient in mind. I hope they like them! :)
The "happy" on this card was stamped with an older Heidi Swapp stamp. I loved the combination of the October Afternoon alphabet with the Jenni Bowlin Bingo Stamp. The felt embellishment is from American Crafts Dear Lizzy line. The patterned papers are AC Dear Lizzy and Crate Paper.
I think I did machine stitching on all my projects except for the card above. I just love the finishing touch it seems to add to my projects lately. If I find that it looks like something is missing, I usually add some stitching and am happy with the results. I handcut the flower from the AC Dear Lizzy paper. The flair embellishment is also from AC Dear Lizzy. The sentiment was printed from my computer.
On this one I cut the flowers with my Slice. I rolled up the edges to give it a little dimension and then hand cut the leaves and added the Jenni Bowlin button. The paper is actually fabric paper from AC Dear Lizzy and the alpha is October Afternoon.
This kit has a little more pink than I would normally use on a "boy" page. I thought if there was any time I was going to get away with it, it would be Easter! I handcut the banner pieces from the AC Dear Lizzy paper and stitched it on. The cute felt bird is also Dear Lizzy. Paper from Fancy Pants, Crate Paper and American Crafts.
My kit came with an egg shaped card (I think there are eggs and bunnies, you get one or the other). I used it as a template and cut one out of the fabric polka dot paper. This is definately one of my all time favorite papers. The color is so great and it is polka dots, that explains it all. I added a few buttons and did some stitching and it all came together.
One of the first things I did this morning was check out the rest of the gallery. It was awesome this month! Check it out here.
loved your gallery girl...it was all gorgeous! I am having major issues uploading pics to my blog thus the lack of blogging lately. I will see if I can make it work to post my projects. Wish me luck!
