My last two cards completed. Being in a bit of a last minute rush I had to do a little bit of batch making! Don't really like doing the same card or very nearly the same card twice, but needs must when you leave things to the last minute. I must admit it was lovely to use some of the flowers from my stash to fill these die cut baskets. I really didn't realise how many flowers I've bought over the years and stashed away rather than using - so silly!
Materials...
- Designer paper pad - possibly Kanban, but bought years ago.
- basket and tag dies
- silver corner peel offs and organza ribbon
- Swiss Dots embossing folder
- vellum overlay
- Paper and silk flowers and leaves from stash

Have a wonderful weekend.

Another one for Mother's Day. I'm getting there slowly, but surely. Both Laura and Shelley need me to make cards for their partner's mums and then of course Eli needs a little help with his cards too.
Materials used...
- Snippets left from yesterday's posted card - the snippets are really quite large when you start with 12" by 12" paper.
- Cricut Mother's Day cartridge
- silver mirri card
- gems to decorate the cut out sentiment.

Back from India yesterday and about to panic big time as I have quite a few Mother's Day cards to get done before Sunday. Luckily I completed most of my ordered ones before I went on holiday. I really enjoyed making this 8" by 8" card which combines stash bought years ago and my new basket die.
More details about materials used...
- Mirri card - plain pink and patterned designer paper layered up to give depth.
- Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder to add interest to centre section
- Sentiment printed on acetate and layered over snippet of pink card
- Basket die - I believe it's a Marianne one but unsure as I've stored all my dies on magnetic sheets and not labelled them.
- paper flowers - old stash
- die cut tag
- organza ribbon and corner peel offs to draw the eye.
