Happy Spring!

Hey Ya'll!
   Just thought I would pop in to wish everyone a Happy Spring and to show you the wreath I made for my Daughter to go on her door.I recently made a wreath from a kit I purchased from Stampin' Up, and my daughter liked it so much she wanted me to make her one.She purchased a wreath form from Michaels and I used papers and ribbon from my stash(which I'm still purging, I keep finding stuff I forgot I had!) and this is what I came up with!

 

     I used fringe scissors for the "fluffy" flowers cut out some circles to form the large flowers and cut out a few leaves and some large spikey bases for another flower. Then I punched out some spikey small flowers for the centers. All in all it turned out better than I thought it would. Here's a picture of the S.U. wreath I used for inspiration. I used feathers instead of leaves.

Supplies- S.U.: Burlap and Blooms Simply Created Wreath Kit as the inspiration piece,  Stamped feathers: CTMH "Feathers" Seasons and Nature.

My wreath- CTMH: Burlap ribbon, Large Spikey flower: Cricut cart "Mother's Day Bouquet", Fringe Flowers: Martha Stewart fringe scissors, Leaves: Sizzix Thinlet "Branch w/ Leaves #3" Flower centers: Fiskars punch, Buttons from my stash.

Belated Mother's Day

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day, and now that it's over I can post these last two cards. This first one was made for my Mother. I got the idea from the March issue of Cardmaker magazine. I bought this issue because it had so many flower embellishments in it. I used pinking shears on the edges of my mat and did some sewing. The "flowers" were made using Spirelli(string art), and I added buttons to the centers. Added a vintage seam binding bow and stamped a tiny tag. The inside sentiment was computer generated.

Supplies: Cardstock- Stampin' Up, Paper- October Afternoon,Modern Homemaker 8x8 pad, Disk for flowers- Mother's Day Bouquet, Sunburst flower. This second card was made for my Daughter who is forever washing clothes! With a Husband and two boys there are alot of dirty clothes! So, with that in mind , here's a basket full of dirty laundry and clean ones on the line. The sentiments inside and out were computer generated, and the washing machine was an altered stove cut done on my Gypsy. Thanks for looking!
