Thank You Moms!

These are the cards I made to go with the embellishment boxes for my moms.  I used Jasmine and Winter Woodland for the fonts.  The labels are from Accent Essentials.  The shoes are from Forever Young.  I used the the butterfly cuttlebug folder on the cream layer.

 If you make this picture bigger with both cards on it you can really see the stickles on the purple card.

 And here are the sets together:

I am looking forward to giving my moms these little gifts.  I am very grateful for all that they do.

Thank You Boxes

It has been 20 days since my last post!  Wow!  I have been very busy, more so than I realized!  Here are a couple of boxes I made for my mom and mother-in-law to say, "thank you" for watching my daughter.  I still need to make the cards, but the boxes turned out pretty cute.  I painted each box and then sprayed with a matte finish to seal them.

This first one I used Forever Young for the shoes.  I embossed them with several layers to give them the shine like patent leather.  I then added some Petaloo flowers to the shoes and also layered some Prima flowers for the center flower embellishment.  I added some bling to add a touch of flair then voila it was done!

 
This one I used Storybook for the font and Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers.  I curled the flowers up instead of down and also alternated the white and pattern side for the spike portions.  I took a large wood button painted it purple and then added some glitter to it for the flower center.  Bling was added to the lettering to give it a little bit more punch.  There is a layer of fun fiber around the top and some sequins  ribbon along the side. 

The sequins were a super steal!  I got a bolt of it at a garage sale for, I think, 5 bucks!  I also added some rub-ons on the lower piece of the box and colored the flowers in.

The boxes will be filled with embellishments for each mom.

Forever Young BD Card

I have had a good day today, inside my house, getting work done, cooking, baking, cleaning and crafting.  It's too rainy and wet to do anything else.  I like these days sometimes!

I made this card with Forever Young.  I chose the yellow back ground because it was sitting on my work station from my project I'm working on for the monthly challenge already distressed.

I made an "oops" with the tags.  They were supposed to be purple underneath and the creamy paper on top.  I didn't realize what I did until it was too late!  I was able to resurrect it by taking out the letters and putting them on the cream and then another backing on the cream.  I think they turned out pretty good.  I love the little tag attacher to secure them.  How fun is that?  I like the idea of the old fashioned mirror for the girl to look into.  (My daughter really wants to get her hands on mine, the little rotter!)

I didn't think about the pattern in the dress until after I had cut it out.  I got lucky again there!  The image was cut right in the middle of the flower!  Woot woot!

Overall, I'm very happy with how it turned out.  I like to try new things if I can.  It keeps me from growing stale!

Another cart got used in my quest!  I wish I didn't have to work all of the time or I'm sure I could get them all used in short order!

See my new Cricut blinkie?  I just got that today!  I had zero idea how to get it put there, but an awesome Circle member showed me how.  I feel like a kid in a candy store!
