Amazing Mother

I participated in Mojo Monday a couple weeks ago, but never posted my card.  Opps!  I went with a Mother's Day theme since Mother's Day was just around the corner.  I know this doesn't say "Happy Mother's Day"  but I think it would work or it could be a card if you just want to tell your mother she is amazing.

Fabric Frames

Hi!  I had a booth at the Oregon City High School Spring Bazaar a couple weekends ago.  I decided I wasn't going to go crazy with a bunch of little crafts so I focused on Mother's Day cards and Graduation gift card holders/cards and these frames.  I used Designer Fabric and metal found in the plumbing section at The Home Depot.  My husband cut the metal down to the 11x14 to fit the frames for me.  We used spray adhesive on the fabric so it would stick to the metal.  For the little "flower" in the corners, I ripped strips of fabric and then used a needle and thread to put a running stitch along the side, then I pulled tight to make a round flower (if you want to call it that).  I used my circle die and the Big Shot to cut out circles and then I hand stitched along the edge and pulled to make a yo-yo.  I hot glued them together with a button in the center and a magnet on the back.

I made matching bottle cap magnets using DSP to match the fabric.  I punched circles for the inside of the bottle caps (found in the Spring Catalog) and squeezed Crystal Effects in them to make inside smooth and shiny.  Hot glued a magnet on the back and that was it.  They were pretty easy and quick to put together.

Whales & Cupcakes

I love the Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP in the spring catalog.  The whale design is so cute.  The print is big and I wasn't sure how to use it so you can see it.  Using it on a majority of the card was really the only way to go for this paper.  I recently ordered the scallop square die and I wanted to use both the paper and die on the same card.  This is what I came up with and I think it is darling for a baby card.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doilies these days.  I have seen a handful of cards with them and they are so darn cute.  I just had to make one!

I like everything about this card.
