A Mothers Day Card For My Nan!

Another Mothers Day make to share with you today that i made last week for my Nan. As i was in hospital on Sunday my lovely hubby had to go round and deliver the flowers and the card. My Nan is like a second Mum to me - i love her to pieces and i hope she had a lovely day!

Here's the card i made for her:

The cardbase is 'Wisteria Wonder', on which i layered some 'Pear Pizzazz' card and a piece of 'Whisper White' - on which i stamped the flower image from the 'Blessed Mother' stampset (using 'Perfect Plum' and 'Pear Pizzazz' 'Stampin' Write Markers'). I wrapped a knotted piece of 'Pear Pizzazz' 'Seaming Ribbon' around before gluing it in place. I ran some 'Wisteria Wonder' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Timeless Type Alphabet Die' to create the 'Nan'.

Finally i stamped the sentiment from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' stampset and punched it out using the 'Word Window Punch' and placed in the left hand corner of the card and placed a little 'Pear Pizzazz' butterfly (created using 'Pear Pizzazz' card, the 'Big Shot' and the 'Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die') finishing it off with a couple of 'Basic Pearls'.

Don't forget if you like the look of this card and want to buy the materials to make something similar yourself you can place a Stampin' Up! order through me. Just email it over: amyjtidd@gmail.com (And don't forget the Sale-a-bration promotion is still on til the end of the month - so if you spend £45 or more you can also get an exclusive stampset or paper pack for FREE - see the righthand side of this blog for more details!) Don't forget after March these sets WILL NOT be available - so get your order in ASAP!!

Mothers Day Preperations! (sorry for the delayed post!!)

Hey everyone. I'm back home and under strict instructions to rest - hubby went out this morning and brought lots of supplies and told me not to move from the sofa so i thought i'd get out the laptop and update my blog.

I had my little sister stay with us on Saturday and we spent the afternoon/ evening crafting preparing for Mothers Day. So here are our creations.

First up the card i made for my mum:

This card is a 'Poppy Parade' cardbase. On which i layered some of the lovely Sale-a-Bration 'Everyday Enchantment DSP', which i folded over on one corner. I ran some 'Old Olive' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die' to create the butterfly and placed some 'Basic Pearls' down the centre. On a strip of 'Whisper White' i stamped the 'I'm blessed to call you mother' sentiment from the 'Blessed Mother' stampset using 'Old Olive' ink. I mounted this onto a wider strip of 'Old Olive' card and tied a piece of 'Baja Breeze' 'Seaming Ribbon'. My mum loved this card and i love this design - i will most definately be CASEing this design in future.

Next up is the card i made for my hubby's Mum to place on her grave:

This card has a 'Wisteria Wonder' cardbase. I layered a piece of 'Paisley Petals DSP' onto a piece 'Concord Crush' card and glued it onto the cardbase. I ran some 'Concrod Crush' through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die' to create the five butterflies and glued them into place, placing some 'Basic Pearls' down the centre of each one.

I stamped the sentiment from the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' stampset onto some 'Wisteria Wonder' card and punched it out using the 'Word Window Punch' and finally ran some 'Wisteria Wonder' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Timeless Type Alphabet Die' to create the 'Mum'.

Before i go i just have a couple of makes my sister made using my craft stash for my mum (bear in mind she is 9 - she is quite the crafter!!):

And here is a cupcake craft giftpot we sewed toegther using some felt and pompoms - it was quite an ordeal to make but i love the end result and we popped some chocs in to give to Mum:
