Mom

Hello Chickaniddy fans! I have a Mother's Day card share that I created with both the Date Night and Twirly Girl collections. 

Supplies: Paper (DN140S05; TG140S07; TG140S08) Silver Foil Paper (CN14SP002) Mini Sticker Banners (DN14EB03) Stickers (TG14EB02) Brads (TG14EB06)

I couldn't resist using this image of a girl on the phone for my greeting since those of us who live far from our moms call them on Mother's Day.

One of my favorite things about both the Date Night and Twirly girl collections are the sheets of paper with printed images and sentiments.  A crafty little secret of mine is to cut these sheets up entirely before I begin a project so I can easily mix, match and play with them. 

Another thing I love about Chickaniddy are the accents! Here I've mixed the Foil Paper, Brads and Alphabet Stickers to create a textured sentiment. 

Hope all you moms enjoyed your day! 

CARDS - May 2013

Hello! 

Have you picked up the May issue of CARDS magazine? Isn't the cover gorgeous? I love the tulips, the card they featured and all the beautiful Mother's Day projects inside! 

I'm excited to share that one of my cards was published in this issue! 

When I made this card I had just received a set of hexagon thin metal dies in the mail and couldn't wait to create something with them! I used the Pebbles' Seen and Noted collection, perfect for multiple dies with all the beautifully coordinated patterned papers.

Mother's Day is in just a few short days. I hope you all enjoy it! :)

Love My Tapes

Hello!

How is your Monday going so far? It's probably better than mine since I had to fast since last night for a physical first thing this morning. Yuck! It's one of those things you just have to do.

Okay, onto something more fun, I have a card share for you today over at the Love My Tapes blog. Here's a little peek, I hope you have a few moments to go have a look.

Hope you have a wonderful day! As soon as my physical is over and I can have a cup of coffee, I'll be having a much better day! :)

A Gift for Mom

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, Doodlebug Design is celebrating mom by asking their design team members to makea a Create-A-Card greeting and gift set. Since I'm a mom who treasures handmade gifts, I 'm pretty excited about this project!

For my card, I picked the Square Baroque style Create-A-Card and added lots of fun goodies from the new Hello Spring collection. FYI, individual Create-A-Cards are 50% off at Two Peas in a bucket...just sayin' ;)

I love the flowers stickers in the Hello Spring line! They're so colorful and glittery! To give them texture, I topped them with Mini Pearls and used pop dots for the center flower.

For the gift portion of my project I created this hanging decor piece made with a combination of felt, canvas and paper.

It's so easy to create something that will brighten mom's everyday with all the colorful and fun Doodlebug accents!

I used die cut tags and bird house stickers and accented them with brads and more Mini Pearls.

A project is not complete without a little baker's twine, right? Doodle Twine comes in so many bright and yummy colors! A girl's got to have choices, right? ;)

I hope you enjoy your Mother's Day! I will be spending mine with my two favorite people in the world! They really now how to treat a mom and will probably make breakfast for me and bring me flowers.

Kathy :)
