Spring Flowers Mother's Day Card!

Sharing a card I put together last night for a friend. She was wanting something for her mom for Mother's Day, so on the inside I heat embossed Happy Mother's Day with the same red embossing powder used on the front for the I love you sentiment. Both sentiments are the wood block stamps from Hobby Lobby. For the flower svg I used a free file from SVG Cutting Files called Spring Flowers. I added a stamen to the center of the flower by embossing a stamp from the Dandelion stamp set from Jaded Blossom. I used two shades of blue cardstock that are just a shade or two off for the petals of the flowers and two shades of green for the leaves and stems. The background paper is from Authentique's Seasons: Summer Collection.

So glad you stopped by!

Blessings,

And now for my project!

 

Well maybe I am a bit biased or I'm just bragging (which I definitely am), but I do have a Super Kid. He is just fantastic!!! And he has 5 things in life that keep him occupied - Legos (especially Star Wars Legos), Pokemon (Last count, I think we are near 500 collector cards), his sketchbooks/notebooks, Marvel Comic Heroes (especially Spiderman), and his cat. So this LO was super fun to make incorporating two of his favorites into it! If the boy sits down, the cat is in his lap always. They are truly best friends! The paper for this are from the Sandy Lion Marvel Comics Page Kit.

"A Super Kid" Layout

Ann did an awesome job on this LO making it so easy to put together. It usually takes me days to arrange a LO; but with this, I just had to cut and glue. So easy!!!

The "A Super Kid" Layout can be found HERE! Remember that it is deeply discounted for today only, so go and grab it!

The title on my LO is one of today's freebies:

It will only be "FREE" today, so make sure you grab this as well!

It is available HERE!

I also used some Jaded Blossom stamps on this to add the final touch. I used the Super Hero and Super Hero 2 stamp sets.

I love the above sentiment. It is so true. I'm not sure which is more of the Super Hero in the relationship between my son and his cat; but the sentiment below says it best!!! 

I also used the My Hero sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my project and I am so glad that you hopped on by. 

Next up is Cindy.

Baby Boy Album! 5 Days of Baby Buddies w/ Treasure Box Designs!

I am so excited to be teaming up with Treasure Box Designs again for another 5 day series of inspiration using files from the TBD store.

This time around we are sharing

Baby Buddies!!!

Today is Day 5!

I want to show you some really fun ways to use these files on cards and maybe on some other projects over the next 5 days. Baby Buddies will look awesome on baby projects for sure and some time this week I will have a project or two showing just that, but I also want to show you some other ways to use them. Today's project is a Mini Baby Album. It's something that could easily be tucked into a side pocket of a diaper bag.

Remember when I asked you the other day which of the Baby Buddies was your favorite? Well mine is the Hippo. I just think he is absolutely adorable so I am giving him the spotlight on Day 5.

The album was so easy to put together. I diecut 5 tags using a die from Jaded Blossom and used Authentique's Cuddle Boy and Seasons: Summer collections to decorate them. 

The photo mats were also made with dies from Jaded Blossom. I can't wait to be able to add some pictures of this and give it to a sweet momma who likes to show off her bundle of joy!

(Someone asked about pictures of the inside pages. I was trying to take some but was having a difficult time at it. If I am able to work something out tomorrow to get better pictures, I will update this to add them. Sorry about that!!!)

I used the Hippo from the Baby Buddies Monkey and Hippo file. Both of them are just adorable, but like I said - the hippo is my favorite!

You can get the Baby Buddies Monkey and Hippo file here.

You're Cute! 5 Days of Baby Buddies w/ Treasure Box Designs!

I am so excited to be teaming up with Treasure Box Designs again for another 5 day series of inspiration using files from the TBD store.

This time around we are sharing

Baby Buddies!!!

Today is Day 4!

First, I want to apologize for the delay of Day 4 and 5. I was not expecting the curve in the road that came out of no where, but it was fantastic! If you all don't know what I am talking about, I was suppose to have Day 4 and 5 for you this past Friday and Saturday; but instead I had to leave a message on Day 4 that my last two projects would be delayed until today and tomorrow. I had an important family issue and was just glad it was a fun issue and not some kind of sad emergency. It is always better when it happens that way - don't you agree?!! Anyway, as promised, here is Day 4's post. I am so glad for all of you who are sticking with me through this series!!! And tomorrow you will be in for a real treat - there will be a Grand Prize to be won!!!

I want to show you some really fun ways to use these files on cards and maybe on some other projects over the next 5 days. Baby Buddies will look awesome on baby projects for sure and some time this week I will have a project or two showing just that, but I also want to show you some other ways to use them. Today's card features a fun way to use only a part of the file.

I often see stamped cards on Pinterest where someone has created a card with a circle staged in the middle where the whole scene of the card plays out and then the rest of the card is left as clean space. Often the focal point is created with some kind of circular die just as I have used here. I like these types of cards so much, so I decided to try it with the Baby Buddies Lion file. I just love the way it turned out. My lion just pops out in the middle and the sentiment says it all. And as guy cards can be so hard, I think this one is perfect for both your hubby or those little men in your life that always seemed to be attached to your leg. LOL!

I also think with a different sentiment that this would be a great birthday or new baby card. Or even a jungle themed invitation. I'm sure you all can come up with other ideas as well.

I used the Lion from the Baby Buddies Tiger and Lion file. Both of them are just adorable!!! I was able to make this without using the arms or tail in the Lion file. I did add some hands from another file though. There are lots of files in the Treasure Box Designs store with these hands. 

You can get the Baby Buddies Tiger and Lion file here.

Prize Alert!!!

Now what would 5 days of fun inspiration be without prizes. One lucky comment on this post will win one Baby Buddies file of choice. There are 8 files to choose from with 2 animals in each file. 

How to WIN:

1. Leave a comment here telling me what kind of occasion and or sentiment would be perfect for this card.

That's it!!! Tomorrow I will announce the winner at 5:45 pm eastern time.

And then be looking at 6 pm for tomorrow's project using another of the fun Baby Buddies files.
