First Sight Mothers Day for a Friend 3

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY LADIES!

HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! Despite it's challenges, being a Mom is wonderful! Whether you have children, or not, you are a mother when you teach, nurture, help and serve others. It's all under motherhood.....

I wish the photos would better show all the gold embossing on this card. But I've certainly had a lot of fun making these last three cards with the "First Sight" stamp set. I did make a mistake on this card, however. I had wanted to use the words within this stamp set to read "I Love Mother Forever". I just forgot when I was applying the Versamark to the stamps.


On the bottom layer of white I scored from behind to make a frame at 1/4" all the way around. The I punched the four little hearts using the "Itty Bitty" punch set, and scored another line over the hearts to create a frame around them.


For the sentiment piece, after heat embossing the gold sentiment, I again scored a frame from behind at 1/8" & 1/4". It looks great!

In the next photo you can see how I popped up the layers.


In the corners I gold heat embossed and had in mind to stamp over with the Rose Red. I kinda messed up the inside a bit. I meant to off stamp the Rose Red first, and forgot. Then I went and accidentally smudged the ink before it dried!


Thank you for having a look at the Mothers Day cards of the last three days.

Card Base - Rose Red - 4 1/4 x 11 (5 1/2)
Whisper White - 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
Rose Red - 3 x 3 1/4
Whisper White - 2 7/8 x 3 1/8
Inside Whisper White - 3 3/4 x 5

Be sure to stop by tomorrow, for a posting of one of my classes for the JUNE Scrapbook Parade Crop classes. I only have one to show for now, because I'm waiting to for my order of the new catalogue product to arrive when I get back from the wedding. I will make something new from them and then post the rest of the classes.


Happy Stamping everyone!

First Sight Mothers Day for a Friend 2

This is the second of the Mothers Day cards I made for for some of my friends using the "First Sight" stamp set. Again, I had to play with the sentiments and a Stampin' Write Marker, this time in Rose Red, to come up with a Mothers Day sentiment that wasn't directly to a 'Mom'.


I worked with Wild Wasbai, Rose Red, & Crumb Cake cardstock for this card. I also added the use of the "Gorgeous Grunge" stamp set while off stamping twice before stamping on the card.

Two popped up layers for this card - the Rose Red matted Crumb Cake piece, and the Rose Red heart.


For the inside, I'm kind of wishing that I had not used the white and left it with the Crumb Cake.


The colour combination is not one that I would automatically go to automatically, it was one that I came up with with a little thought while looking at my stamp pads in front of me. I kind of like it, and think I will keep the the combo on my list to try again.

Wild Wasabi - 4 1/4 x 11 (5 1/2 folded)
Rose Red - 2 @ 5 x 3 3/4 (1 inside & 1 outside)
Crumb Cake - 1 @ 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 (outside), 1 @ 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 (inside)
Opptional: Whisper White - 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 (inside)

Happy Stamping!

First Sight Mothers Day for a Friend 1

With Mothers Day just a couple of days away, I'm sharing with you some cards that I made for some friends. I used the "First Sight" stamp set for these three cards I 'll be showing you.

On the Pirouette Pink card base I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear powder. It looks so pretty in real life and didn't show up too well in the photos.



The photo below shows the center part a little closer. I stamped the fern-like scroll, but having to use two different stamps for the sentiment, I used the words I wanted from each stamp using the Soft Sky Stampin' Write Marker and the "Stamp-a-ma-jig" to position the words. The idea is that between the hearts and the text that 'a mother's love is forever' kind of thing, hopefully, comes across.


To punch the heart out of the the two layers, you first stamp and punch the top white layer. Then you attach the Soft Sky mat and line up the punch with the first punch, and punch. This way you save your punch but it looks like you've punched through both layers. I then attached the Soft Sky heart beneath the stamped white heart.

You can see just a little of the shiny clear embossing in the next photo.


Side view is next.


For the inside, I did my usual corner thing...



If you are in a hurry to get some Mothers Day cards made, feel free to case this card.

Pink Pirouette - 4 1/4 x 11 (5 1/2)
Soft Sky - 1 @ 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (inside mat) & 1 @ 2 7/8 x 4 1/8
Whisper White - 1 @ 3 3/4 x 5 (inside) & 1 @ 2 3/4 x 4

Happy Stamping!
