Mothers Day

I celebrated a lovely Mothers Day with all of my family.  Me, my husband and two girls enjoyed a delicious bagel and  cappuccino breakfast then we headed to lunch with my Mum, Dad and Sisters.  The fun didn't stop there, our next stop was my sister in laws to see Tim's mum and enjoy some chocolate dipped viennese  whirls, they are sooo nice if you haven't had one you must try it.

So on to what crafty adventures I've been up to.  I ran a special Mother's Day class on Thursday with 11 ladies. Here are the two cards which we created, I gave my mum the "1 in a million card" she loved it.

 

I created her a special gift using a  white wicker heart, which I then decorated with flowers created from the spiral flower die.  The larger flowers were created using two die cuts wound together.   I like to spritz them with water first as it helps when winding them up and manipulating the petals.

 

Did you create something special for your mum?

Friday Painswick Ladies

These Fridays seem to come around so fast and here I am again with another card from my Painswick ladies.

This week we created a pattern with the Six Sided Sampler set which was a set we hadn't used before. 

They were all thrilled with their finished cards and they really enjoyed stamping and putting this one together.

 

The inspiration for this card came from this cup and saucer set.  I love the colours and the ditsy print and I new the stamp in the Six Sided Sampler would work perfectly.

 

 

I love getting inspiration from everyday items, how about you?  What has inspired you today?

 

Supplies Used:

 

Stamps:  Six Sided Sampler, Petite Petals, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink:  Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive

Paper:  Real Red, Whisper White

Embellishments:  Pearls 

Accessories:  Petite Petals Punch, Word Window, Hexagon Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack

Friday Class

I joined my regular ladies for our Friday Class, this week they wanted something simple with flowers that had a spring feel. 

 

They do keep me busy!

 

After a walk to our local park the other weekend I could help notice how lovely the trees looked with all of the blossom on them, and this image was the inspiration for this card.

 

 

The flourish is from the Everything Eleanor set and I've teamed it with the Petite Petals set and matching punch.

 

I think I covered the brief set out by my ladies, don't you?

 

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Everything Eleanor, Petite Petals, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Inks:  Primrose Petals, Old Olive

Paper:  Very Vanilla, Primrose Petals

Embellishments:  Basic Pearls
