Love Sparkles in 3D

Hi!

I though that since Stamp A Memory's latest challenge closes tonight I'd better get off my backside and make an off the page creation.

One of the things my fridge is seriously lacking (especially as I have 3 children!) is a board for them to hang their artwork/certificates/etc on. I thought I'd use the challenge to rectify this dire situation! Here is the hanger I came up with:



I used a backing sheet from the DSP packs to create the backing board. I cut it into 3 strips and glued them all together. I then covered it in Love Sparkles DSP and embellished. I used my Crop-a-dile to cut the holes and set the jumbo eyelets. Here is the hanger hanging:



The only thing missing is the pegs. I ran out of time to go buy some as I didn't have any in my stash. I will add them soon! Here is a close up of the die cut stickers I used from the Love Sparkles Simply Scrappin Kit:



I love using the kits for all kinds of projects. Everything matches so you don't have to think too hard about that side of things.

Supplies Used: Love Sparkles Simply Scrappin Kit, Tombow Adhesive, Crop-o-dile, Jumbo Eyelets, Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon

Catch you later,

Mother's Day Cards

Hi!

I hope all the mothers that read my blog had a fabulous Mother's Day yesterday - I know I did!

I thought I'd share with you the cards I made for my mother and mother-in-law. I wanted to make extra special cards, so I went for a Tri-fold card for one of them. It was my first attempt at making one. I found the instructions on SplitCoast Stampers. Here is the front:



And here is the open card:



I found it a little tricky, but worth the extra effort.

For the second card I decided to go back to an old favourite: Fifth Avenue Floral. I love watercolouring that rose image! I usually colour it in pinks, but this time I thought I'd give it a go with Rich Razzleberry. I think it worked beautifully!



The Very Vanilla panel and the sentiment panel are raised on Dimensionals to add a bit of depth to the card front.

To go with each card I made up a little mini album filled with photos of my children with their Nanna/Grandma. In some of the photo slots the kids drew pictures and wrote about why they loved their Nanna/Grandma. I got this brilliant idea from the very clever and talented Ros Davidson.
