Recycled Gift Box by Ellen Haxelmans

A Special gift for mom!

Today Ellen has created fun and unique gift box as a special gift for mom!

To create this box, she simply carefully took apart a box with printing on it and turned it inside out to use the blank inside as the outside. She then decorated it, using our Trailing Leaves Stencil to add pretty pink leaves all over the front. She then used dies from our  Flower Trio Die Set (retiring), Frames Squared Die Set and Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to create the fun center image on the box. 

Last, she added a tag using our Tags Times Two Die Set and Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She stamped the "to my mom" using our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set to decorate the tag. 

What a fun way to make a special customized box! You don't need a special die set, just use what you have on hand and get creative!

Thank You Card by Farhana Sarker

Amazing Thank You! 

Today we are sharing a beautiful thank you card created by Farhana! This lovely card is filled with butterflies and flowers, a perfect spring combination!

She started out by embossing the big floral oval from our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set in gold. She added some soft colors to the flowers and cut the image out using the  Oval Frames Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. She also used the Oval Frames Die Set to cut a second oval, this time in bright purple to layer over the center. She added the sentiment from the Best Mom Oval Stamp Set onto this layer, embossing it in white. 

Next, she embossed a couple of butterflies from our Beautiful Wings Stamp Set onto vellum. She cut them out by hand but you could also use the coordinating Beautiful Wings Die Set. She added these butterflies along with some pretty rhinestone gems to the image.

Here is a close up so you can see all the details:

For the last step, she cut a piece of patterned paper from our  Springtime Paper Pad the same size as her card base to cover it with butterflies! She layered her large oval onto the center for a beautiful card that is perfect for spring! Those butterflies and flowers go perfectly together!

To My Mom Shaker Card by Zsofia Molnar

A Shaker Card for Mom!

Today we are sharing another lovely shaker card, this time by Zsofia!

For this beautiful card she used the pretty floral bloom from our Lilac Stamp Set. She embossed the image in black and colored it in lovely hues of purple and green, adding white to each tiny flower center too. 

She cut the image out using the coordinating Lilac Die Set before adding it to her shaker card. 

For the card base she used a piece of patterned paper that is covered in butterflies from our Springtime Paper Pad. Then she layered two scalloped edges over that using scalloped die cut rectangles from our Framework Die Set. She made this into a shaker window, filling it with iridescent sparkly sequins. 

On the bottom she added the "to my mom" sentiment from our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set, stamped onto a ticket shape that was cut out using the Framework Die Set. 

This card is sure to make Mom feel special! It would be perfect for Mother's Day or could be used for a birthday or other special occasion too!

Thank You Card by Maria Russell

Thank You Card for Someone Amazing

Has someone done something special to make your day? Let them know with a lovely handmade card like this one by Maria! 

To create this beautiful floral bouquet she used the big blooms from our Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. She colored a big yellow Hydrangea bloom and several swirly roses to create her bouquet. She included some stamped leaves and additional die cut leaves using our Flower Trio Die Set. After the images were cut out with the coordinating Lovely Blooms Die Set, she arranged them in a cluster over the top of the jar, also from the Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. Inside the jar you can see the flower stems along with some chunky glitter for added sparkle. 

She arranged everything on a white card base, leaving room for the sentiment on the bottom. For the sentiment she chose the "thank you for being so amazing!" from our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set. She colored the letters in the word "amazing" in rainbow colors too for another special finishing touch!

This card is sure to make the recipient feel special!

Happy Mother's Day Card by Maria Russell

 

Mother's Day Greeting! 

Today we are sharing a beautiful Mother's Day Greeting created by Maria! 

For her card she used the beautiful oval floral frame from our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set, coloring all the flowers in fun bright colors. She used the Oval Frames Die Set to cut the image out with a scalloped edge. Then she hand cut around the inside edge of the flowers to make it into a frame. Such a lovely idea! 

For the card she created a beautiful background panel using our Basketweave Stencil with white texture paste over a light pink background. This really adds such a fun spring feeling to the card. She cut it out to be slightly smaller than her white card and then layered the floral frame on top in the center. 

She embossed the Happy Mother's Day" sentiment from the Best Mom Oval Stamp Set in white on black cardstock and cut it out by hand before adding it to the center of her card. A few gold gems add a lovely finishing touch! 

 

This lovely card is perfect for Mother's Day but you could easily add a different sentiment in the center to make this into a spring birthday or friendship card too!
