Flower Shop Mother's Day Card

Yesterday my church Mum's coffee group got together for a catch up and to learn some fun things for "Keeping House".  One of the things I got to watch and learn was how to make some jam which required no cooking and was sugar free.  You can add a little honey or something sweet if you like, but it doesn't have cupfuls of sugar!  All that was in it was fruit, chia seeds, and honey/maple syrup (optional).

During the morning, the ladies also had the chance to make a Mother's Day card with me.  Most of them were new to card making so I kept it simple.  They each embossed a piece of card for the background using the Big Shot. The ladies always enjoy using the Big Shot and are impressed with the textured card that comes out.  They stamped some flowers and used the co-ordinating punch to cut out the flowers. The co-ordinating punch makes card making nice and easy.  The pearls or rhinestones finished off the flowers nicely.

Here are a couple of cards I made as samples for them to work from.  I also stamped envelopes.  One of the cards is for Mother's Day and the other is stamped with "Just for you" so it can be used for any occasion.

 Here is a close up of each card.

Watercolour Wonder & Flower Shop "Card in a Box"

I have seen lots of "cards in a box" recently and I have been very impressed by them.  I finally got to make my own and this was one of the projects we made at my weekend class.  My "card in a box" is cased from the Tauranga Extravaganza.

The one on the right with the Summer Starfruit ribbon is one I made before the class as a sample.  The one on the left with the Tangerine Tango ribbon is the the one I made during the class to show everyone what to do. I then finished it off afterwards. These "cards in box" feature the lovely Watercolour Wonder DSP.  Here are some more photos of them.

 

The great feature about these cards is that they can even be folded flat and posted in the mail. Come back tomorrow and see another card in this style and see how it folds flat. 
 
Materials:

Stamps: Flower Shop. Label Love, Petite Petals

Ink: Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight

Card: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight

The cards are a similar design to some I posted a few days ago.  See here.  These cards also feature the Gingham Garden Washi Tape and Label Love stamp set along with the coordinating Artisan Punch. I used my Simply Scored Tool to make both the box and envelopes to go with the cards.

Ink: Strawberry Slush
