Here is some Mothers Day inspiration.
First I share with you a tag I made
with dies of the ideology line by Tim Holtz.
The background is embossed with a sizzix folder
that I painted with vintage photo distress stain before
embossing. Than I also added some new distress inked
squeezed lemonade and copper perfect pearl mist.
I cut the body with sewing sewing room,
embossed it, added some versamark and
sprinkled a little white embossing poder on it
and used my heat gun.
The body is decorated with a Michael Strong
mini cloisonné flower embossed in cold and
a button from the sewing room die.
Also I cut scissor and button with sizzix sewing edge
out of grunge board. Colored the scissor with
weathered wood distress stain and rock candy
stickles on top. Fastend it with a brad on the tag.
Banners decorated with a printed sentiment and
stapled to the tag.
All completed with ribbons on top and
a cute little wooden spool and asewing
machine charm.
Here is an another card. This can easily be
used as a gift card and is very easy to make.
I found this as a free printable card here:
If you go for easy and quick,
you follow the instructions on the link above
and you have a quick card.
I had to make it a little more personal and
used again the Michael Strong mini cloisonné flower.
After cutting out the card, you have 4 corners left of
the backside paper and this is perfect to stamp
the 4 flowers.
I ambossed them in white, gold, copper and black.
The heart is a gemstone,
Here you see the inside of the card and
also here the flower stamp is used. With vintage photo
I distressed the border of the card and stamped
the flower all around.
This is the backside of the card.
Hope all your Mom's have a wonderful day!
Have a creative day!
Beautiful tag and card. I have yet to get the sewing die, but your tag may have inspired me to run out and purchase it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic projects and full of ideas I can use!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Hetty! Love the way you used Tim's dies and embossing folders. I guess I need the sewing border now! It's one of the few I don't have.
ReplyDeleteHetty, these are so beautiful! I love the base of the tag with the stains/embossing... it looks incredibly rich. And the card's a stunner. Happy crafting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, Hetty!
