Thankful Garden

My neighbour contacted me about 10 days before Mothers Day and asked for a custom card.

She wanted a card for her sister-in-law, whom her daughter and grandson live with who call her "Aunty" to give her for Mothers Day, except it had to say "Happy Aunties Day"

I loved that I could make a special card for her.

So I made this


I CASE'd the layout from Stacey Marsh from the U.K.

I've used Secret Sea for the base colour and that Corrugated Embossing folder would have to be my fave at the minute.

The Thankful Garden Bundle comes with a set of layering Masks as well meaning it's super easy to line them all up and colour the large floral image, then die cut it with the coordinating dies.

I filled in the bottom part with some green foliage to sit behind the sentiment which was made using the Mini Alphabet Dies.

Admittedly I lined up the letters by just eye balling them however, yes I should have used a ruler lol.

I'm really happy with this card and my neighbour loved it. I hope "Aunty" did too.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card today.

Until next time

Happy Stamping!

Everyday Arches

The more I see projects made with these dies, the more I LOVE them.

They are so versatile and one of the things I wanted to try with them is a Rainbow.

A team member recently asked if I could create a card that I would normally make to donate to my local vet clinic.

So in a live crafty session with my group, I made this


It is very easy to make the rainbow arches with the dies however depending on the thickness you want them, you do need to be mindful of which dies you lay together.

I chose soft tones for this card, particularly colours that coordinate with the Beautiful Bokeh dsp. I think the designs in that dsp is perfect for a background.

I have used the Retired Dog punch, which I kept deliberately for the Vet Donation cards.

The sentiment is also from a Retired stamp set that I saved for the same purpose.

The cloud has been die cut from the Bright Skies dies which are currently in Last Chance and heavily discounted.

I'm really happy with this card and I think I will tinker with this design to suit making a bulk lot for my next donation to the clinic.
