Happy Mother's Day!

I would like to wish all you mom's a Happy Mother's Day!  This is a card I made for my beautiful daughter to celebrate Mother's Day.  She will be coming up with her family to spend the weekend.  We have a wonderful dinner planned and a trip to the zoo with the girls.  This card was made using the Gradient Pearl stickers from the Deal of the Month (you get an awful lot of bling in this deal!) and the Layered Vintage Flowers from the Vintage Poppies collection. The CS and DP is from CTMH and the tag stamp and punch is from SU.  Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Velvet and Vintage Thank You Gift Set

Hi, it's Diane with a special fall gift set to share.  I have been waiting for a chance to use some of the beautiful vintage embellishments in fall colors and now that the season is changing the time is right.  This embellished candle would make a nice hostess present for an autumn dinner party and the card coordinates to make a lovely set.

I used the Vintage Poppies in Cinnamon for both the card and the candle.  On the card, I replaced the pearl brad in the center with one of the flowers from the 3D vintage brad - antique flower medley and on the candle I used a vintage sequin flower with pearl center for the center of the velvet poppy.

I wrapped the candle with two rows of Brown Velvet Ric Rac vintage ribbon and placed two of the vintage layered flowers  on either side of the vintage poppy.  The candle is real wax but is battery operated for safety so there is no need to worry about any fire hazard when you embellish the candle.

The card base is dark green Bazzill textured cardstock, the first layer is copper metallic cardstock from a DCWV stack and the top layer was printed on the new Cricut Imagine machine (it is a sample from the make and take at CHA).  The "Thank You" was cut with the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge.

Sunshine on a cloudy day...

The idea for this card came from a Green, Yellow, Brown challenge on a group I belong to.  This little cutie is named Mimosa from the Bildmalarna Stamps which come from Sweden and she reminds
me of my precious little granddaughter.  I embellished the card with the Layered Vintage Flowers from Creative Charms and accented the flowers with the 3D Vintage Brads Antique Flower.  Can I just say that I love the Vintage look these embellishments give to this card.



Here is a close up of the stamped image and the flowers. I also added a couple sprigs of leaves using the MS punch.  The CS used is the Colonial White Textured for the base from CTMH, Coordinations Gemstone in Citrine, Basic Grey Origins double sided CS and green stripe vellum I had in my stash.    If you want to see more creations featuring Creative Charms embellishments  be sure to become a follower!
