Here’s another card I made for Mother’s Day! For this one I used the One of a Kind stamp set along with the Berry Bliss DS paper - two of my new favorites! The “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment is by Amuse. This card is pretty straight forward. I used Purely Pomegranate and Chocolate Chip to match the DS paper.

I am grateful for being able to spend Mother’s Day with my Mom. I wish all the mothers an early Happy Mother’s Day!

Here’s another card I made for Mother’s Day. I always have a bunch of people to make Mother’s Day cards for and I like to make a different one for each person. For this card, I used the Circle of Friendship & One Of A Kind sets and the Ginger Blossoms DS Paper. I used a bunch of punches for this card also: the Marvey Mega Scallop Circle, SU Scallop, 1 3/8″ circle, 1″ Circle, Photo Corner, & 1/2″ circle punches. The other accessories: Chocolate Chip Grosgrain, Silver Mini Brads, White Gel Pen, & Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This was a fun card to make!

The Dahila Fold isn’t a new technique, but it’s the first time I tried it. I started working on my Mother’s Day cards and I thought one of these flowers would look pretty! To learn how to make this, click here for a tutorial. That’s it for now, have a great day!

The inspiration:

I thought of this idea when I saw these really cute transparency overlays by Hambly Screen Prints. I wanted to buy some and was just about to when I had this idea to make my own. The Hambly Overlays are really cute, but are around $3 a pop! With this technique, you can save some money by making your own. You’ll need blank transparencies (from the office supply store) and Stazon Ink and a stamp or stamps.

Here’s how I made the circle pattern on the lower left hand side:

Step 1:
Use your Coluzzle (or any other die cut circle) to cut a circle the size of your choice on a piece of scratch paper.

Step 2:

Position your circle on the transparency and adhere with removable tape so it won’t move.

Step 3:
Ink up your stamp with Stazon Ink and stamp along the outer edge of the paper circle, with the stamp overflowing to the transparency. Continue around the whole circle.

Step 4:
Remove the circle and voila!

Another Tip:
You can also use the wheel stamps with Stazon Ink to make full sheet transparencies. I wheeled my Rough Texture wheel over a strip of my transparency here, but you can also wheel it over a full sheet. I bought a blank wheel cartridge and filled it with black Stazon Ink.

I’m really loving making these mini albums as gifts! I made this one for my MIL for her bday. I decorated this one with the Bali Breeze DS paper and the Stampin’ Up felt flowers. The felt flowers are really great. The colors that are really vibrant, combined with the felt texture make them really “pop” on any project! Thanks for checking in!
