Tuesday Trigger and CFC #52

My final Mother's Day card is for my daughter to give my mother.  Don't know how she feels about gold birds but I was really trying to capture the gold spots on the dress.  I have inked the background stamp with gold Smooch which I had to go over once stamped as it was a bit uneven.  

What you need
Cardstock - SU vanilla
Stamps - Annabelle Stamps Backgrounds by Design 2;  Verve Because of You
Gold Smooch
Ink - SU Early Espresso
Die - SB Romantic Rectangles
Bird Punch - SU

ColourQ #135

Whilst I am in the mood for Mother's Day cards, here is the card that is definitely for my Mum.  Can't get enough of Pool Party so it is the dominant colour in my card, which should suit my mum down to the ground.  Long weekend here in Queensland so I should get some more stamping time tomorrow, YIPPEE.

This card  also qualifies for The Paper Players Challenge for Mother's Day, if not the exact colours.

What you need
Cardstock - BB Aqua, SU white
DSP - SU Domestic Goddess
Stamps - Verve Sunny Days, Because of You
Ink - SU Real Red, Daffodil Delight (and marker), Pool Party, Early Espresso
Gems - Kaisercraft

Card Patterns #162

It's a grey old Saturday morning here in Brisbane, and it has rained pretty constantly for the past 12 hours or so.  Given that this is usually our dry season, this is a bit of a surprise.  Needless to say, a great day for card making.  It is last minute but I wanted to do the Card Patterns challenge and I went to Design Seeds for some colour inspiration.

It has been a long time since I have incorporated Purely Pomegranate in any project and it was the colour that initially got me hooked on all things SU.  I think it goes really well with the aqua and the Hero Arts Soft Pool ink was a good match for the base card.

What you need

Cardstock - Bazzill Basics Aqua;  SU white

Patterned Paper - MME Happy go Lucky

Stamps - TE Make it Amazing

Ink - SU Purely Pomegranate;  HA Shadow Ink Soft Pool

Die - TE Fancy Buckles

Ribbon - PTI Saddle Stitched Scarlet Jewel

Gems - Kaisercraft

Happy Mother's Day

With such feminine colours I couldn't resist this challenge.  Possibly not the card I would give my mother but my daughter loves it so probably for one of her grandmothers.

What you need

Cardstock - Cream shimmer; SU very vanilla; PTI Spring Moss

Patterned Paper - Pebbles Ever After (Blushing Princess)

Stamps - Verve  One Person,  Many Blessings

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa

Markers - Memento New Sprout, Cantaloupe, Angel Pink, Rose Bud

Die - MFT Woodgrain Fence

Gingham Ribbon - Craft supplies

Gems - Kaisercraft

I have a few more cards to share from todays efforts - in between helping my daughter with a couple of creative projects, it has been a perfect day (read rainy and overcast) for cardmaking.

Make-It Mondays - Line Frames

I love this idea as it makes things look elegant and simple (and it's a frame, my all time favourite design layout).

I hadn't had the chance to use the Flower Fusion stamp sets so felt this was the perfect opportunity to do so, with 2 Mother's Day cards to make (I hadn't realised it was this weekend).  This will most probably be for my Mum as she like CAS and something alittle more ornate for my Mother-in-Law.  Thank goodness it was a long weekend again, as it was a good chance to catch up on a few things.

What you need
Cardstock - PTI white
Stamps - PTI Flower Fusion 1 and 2,  Mega Mixed Messages
Ink - SU Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake
Marker - Copic Multiliner 0.5
Gemstones - Kaisercraft
