Happy Mother's Day

I'm a woman on a mission.  I need to create at least 40 more cards for my OWH box.  I thought since Sandy mentioned they were in need of Mother's cards I would do 40 of those.  I've created 4.  Woo hoo!  I am on my way.

I used a paper stack that I ordered from Stampin Up that is 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 size double sided patterned pages using colors Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Coastal Cabana.  I love this combination of colors and it has my favorite color red.

I used my silhouette to cut out the red hearts.  I also used my Silhouette sketch pens to print 'Love you Mom' in the white heart and to cut out the white hearts after I printed them.

I used the Stampin Up Pennant Banners dies to cut out the banners and a Sizzix embossing folder to get the polka dots.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder to get the diagonal stripes on the cart with the striped paper.

I've decided I do not create well under pressure.  I've always thought I worked better under pressure, but rarely do I have to design a card under pressure.  And that's a good thing since I obviously have issues with it.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day and be inspired.

  3. Your card looks terrific and I am sure someone will really appreciate it!
    I have to agree that my best work generally comes from playing around and not when I am facing a deadline!
