I am furiously making Mother's Day cards for Send A Smile 4 Kids . This month their challenge is to use a sketch. So I pulled up this from Sketch Saturday
My card is made with bits from my stash.
The sentiment is popped up with foam squares. The butterfly is on one of those jiggly things--I forgot what they are called. I think the kids will have fun with it.
Let's Craft and Create challenge is add flowers.
Paper Funday Challenges. anything with the letter B
In order for special cards to get to the kids on time, we have to be thinking ahead to the next occasion at Send A Smile 4 Kids So, I am working on some Mother's Day cards that the kids will select for their Mothers.
This one, I am linking up to Cardz 4 Galz where the challenge is stripes.
The pattern in the Perennial Lavender paper from SU represents the stripes. The circle bouquet is from a pad by Recolletions. The sentiment is also SU. I added a bow to the top and then 3 purple gems for accernts.
My husband aways call tools his toys. I'm sure you've heard the expression "the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys." He certainly has fun playing with his toys.
So I think my card will be good for the challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz Fun and Games.
I used a Kraft base, die cut a 2 1/2" square and then embossed it with a wood E/F. The papers are all scraps of a retired DSP collection. The tools (toys) are all stickers I found in my stash.
Here is how the card opens.
I don't know if this fold has a certain designation or not. I was inspired by Brian King. at stampwithbrian.com You can see his gorgeous floral card here. He gives the measurement and instructions for the card. Maybe we can call it the king fold.
