Stampin' Up! Pansy Petals Suite Mother's Day Card

I am just home from having dinner with my mum and sister (and our families) and I wanted to share the card I made for my mum for Mother's Day. I used the Pansy Petals product suite for her card and lots of adhesive sheets! You certainly can use the pansy dies without the adhesive sheets but it would be fiddly to adhere some of the more intricate bits and pieces.

Stampin' Up! Mothers Day Card with Hydrangea Hill Suite

Today, we had an early Mothers Day celebration with my in laws. This is the card I made for my mother in law. She loves flowers and when I saw the 12" design on the Hydrangea Hill DSP, I knew it was perfect her card. I used the outlined die cut lettering technique from my April techniques class and wrote Happy G'ma Day as that is what we call her in shorthand for Grandma when we are writing messages on our phones etc. (and Grandma wouldn't fit!)

Stampin' Up! Suit and Tie Dies Card

Our forty seventh colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "smoky slate" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen smoky slate, rich razzleberry and bermuda bay from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

For this weeks colour creations blog hop, I had to use the suit and tie dies for a masculine no sentiment/blank card. I thought by leaving it as a blank card, it could be used for many occasions. A birthday, retirement, fathers day or even a graduation etc.
My card today is pretty basic, I added dots to the tie to bring in the rich razzleberry colour and I added fine tip glue pen to my buttons on the suit jacket to make them pop a little bit more. 


I used a the off cut from die cutting the tie to act as a stencil for decorating the envelope (and used the blending brushes to colour in the tie "stencil")

Stampin' Up! A Cut Above Shaker Card

For my Masculine Monday card today I have a shaker card using a clear envelope and the A Cut Above stamp set. I have used the "it's your day to relax" so the card can be used as either a birthday or father's day card. In the clear envelope, is the sequins and the ombre paper, everything else is on the outside.
