Bunches of Love for Mom

Good morning and Happy Thursday!  I hope everyone is staying warm during this unprecedented cold weather. We are used to it in Michigan but I know the south are suffering.

My design today is bright and cheery, back in UK Mother's Day is on March 14 so I thought I give some inspiration to everyone across the pond. Bunch of Love from this month's new release is a perfect digital image set for this and I paired it with the sentiments from Cup of Joy as this has some sweet Mothering Sunday phrases:

The image was printed twice and the sentiment once, the gorgeous roses were colored with Copic makers I also colored just the bow from the second image, both bunches were fussy cut taking just the bow from the second image.

I stenciled a piece of cardstock with a leaf pattern, matted a card base with coordinating blue card and added my stenciled panel. The roses were shaped and added to my card with glue gel to give dimension. After cutting with a tag die my sentiment was adhered in place. Finally I added the pieces of the second bow, using foam squares and glue gel to give shape.

You can see in this photo the dimension I achieved.

Thank you for stopping by. I will be back during the month with more inspiration from Joy Clair. Also my teamies will be sharing with you over on the Joy Clair Facebook Group.

You can check out the new release and all of Joy Clair's products over in their store.

Cupcake

Good afternoon I'm staying with the sweet treats today!

I've got the cutest cupcake from Prickley Pear to show you

Doesn't that look yummy!

I used the Valentine Cupcake stamp set, stamped colored and fussy cut each piece. I then layered the hearts on the frosting to give more dimension. These were they coated in glossy accents. I shaped the base and the frosting and used glue gel to adhere to my gingham card so that the image maintained its rounded shape.

I matted my card base in bright pink card and added my topper. I then stamped Valentine and the little birds with hearts from the Love Banner Set to balance the image out

Be Mine

Good morning and happy weekend!

Today's creation from the Riley and Company new release doesn't involve Riley or any of his friends. I wanted to show that you can use the new accessory stamp and die sets on any of your cards they don't need to be used with Riley and crew!

it's it sweet!

I matted my card base with coral card then printed a digital design paper that looks like 3 layers.

I stamped the balloon from the Valentine and St Patty's accessory set numerous times I added the little sentiments and smilies that come in the set to the center of the balloons and die cut them all using the fab die set. I then molded them using a ball tool on an embossing mat to give them the curved shape. I filled the back of each balloon with glue gel and added twine before arranging them on my card base.

I tied the ends of the twine together and added a bow. 

The Be Mine sentiment is from the same accessory set of stamps.
