Happy Friday Everyone!
I would like to wish all my Mom readers a Happy Mom's Day weekend! I hope you all get spoilt rotten on Sunday ;0)
I finally entered the electronic cutting age this year and got a Silhouette Cameo for my birthday, Woohoo!! The very first cutting project I did was my Mom's Day card for my Mom. She lives in the UK so I didn't get to go as elaborate with embellishments and dimension as I would have liked to. Here's some pics of the final result.
My Mom is super special, besides being the best Mom ever, she also gets to celebrate Mom's Day TWICE a year! In the UK they celebrate Mother's Day in March so my sister spoils my Mom then and I get to spoil her in May ;0)
The design I used is available in the Silhouette Cameo library in a square format. I altered the size in the Silhouette design software and cut out the window flower frame with the sentiment included from textured burgundy cardstock and then re-cut just the flowers in textured yellow cardstock. Back the window cut out with peach cardstock and put yellow cardstock behind the sentiment. Add details with a clear glitter gel pen to the leaves and stems and yellow and peach glitter glue to the flowers and around the inside edge of the window cut out. Curl the petals of the yellow flowers and adhere them to the card front with craft glue and embellish all the flowers and leaves with self-adhesive pearls. Embellish all the corners of the card with a Magic Transparent White Pearl Pen.
Die cut out a Spellbinders Fancy Tag 2 from peach cardstock and stamp the sentiment from the Daisies set available at Blockheads Paper Arts with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Adhere the tag to the inside of the card with permanent adhesive tape and embellish with more glittery flowers and glitter glue. The tag was a little bit bigger than the card so I got creative and hooked the right hand side over the edge so it peeks out when the card is closed. I finished off with variegated fluffy fiber wrapped around the card fold.
I'm pleased with how my very first attempt using my new fancy dancy cutting machine turned out and hope my Mommy loves it too! Hopefully it has arrived intact so we shall see when she opens it on Sunday morning ;0)
