Happy Mother's Day Box - #MadeForMom

I have been so busy preparing for my Biggest morning Tea fundraiser I have completely forgotten to post all the good things I have been making lately.  Here is a little box we made in Stamp Club last month.  It's Mother's Day this weekend so you have time to quickly whip one up!

Close up - Mother's Day Box of Flowers

I love,love, love, the Hardwood background stamp & can't stop using it!   I was thinking a nice little window box would be pretty for this project so I could not go past the Hardwood stamp.   I used my old favourite the Spiral Flower Die from the Occasions Catalogue as well.  I rarely use Regals & wanted to push myself to use them.  These colours just looked so nice together - I used Crushed Curry (my new favourite colour), Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant & my NEW fringe scissors were used to cut Garden Green cardstock for the grass.   I used the Triangle punch to punch out the fence posts.   We also made a matching card, but I will share that next time :)

Stampin' Up! Mother's Day Apothecary Art

With Mother's day not far away here in Australia, I thought I had better get a move on and make a card for my Mum.  Today I was playing with my watercolour crayons and my favourite card stock - Confetti White.  I have heard rumours this may be retiring here as it is definitely retiring in the USA.  I love the confetti white and confetti cream papers for that old world feel and because they are quite a heavy card stock.   I also used some of the Attic Boutique DSP.

May is Paper party month - so grab 3 packs of DSP and get one for free. This DSP is included in the Paper Party Promotion so why not grab a few packs!

 Attic Boutique paper has some lovely soft colours that are perfect for that feminine floral card.  I had not tried out the Apothecary Art stamp set yet as I had so many new toys to get through.  Oh isn't it lovely - and so versatile.  You could stamp just about anything in that panel or even hand write a lovely sentiment. (My handwriting is pretty bad so I think I will stick to stamps!)

Mocha Morning Mother's Day Class

Hi again,
I've had a lot of interest in my Mocha Morning one sheet wonder board I made for Paperific, so I decided to make up a class using some of the cards.  It included a Card Folder to hold 4 cards and matching envelopes in.  This would make a lovely gift for Mother's Day or someone's birthday.  I ran this as a Mocha Morning Mother's Day Class here at my house last night.  Here is what we made.

A card folder with 4 cards and envelopes inside.

Card Folder -Holds 4 x C4 Cards & Envelopes 

And the four cards are:

They all turned out slightly different, but lovely just the same.  Well done girls on a beautiful job.  You all did so well to finish your boxes and cards in the small amount of time we had.  

The card box is based on this video by Carrie Cudney from Stampin' Up! US office.  I have changed the dimensions so I could fit the envelopes inside, but the principle is the same.

Stamp Set: Creative Elements, Language of Friendship, Bring On The Cake, Mixed Bunch, Happiest Birthday Wishes.
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Mocha Morning DSP.  
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso. 

Ribbon: Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon.

Cool Tools: Scallop Edge Border Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Mini Glue Dots, Eyelet border punch, Top Note die, Bigshot, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Scallop Trim border punch.
