White Flower Card

Good evening bloggers. I hope you're all having a great Friday night.

 

Tonight I want to show you a card I made for my MIL, I wanted to make it a bit special for her.

 

I remember seeing a card awhile ago that had a huge flower on it and thought I would try to make something similar. I scoured the Internet to try to find out how to make one but couldn't really find what I was looking for. I had some white tissue paper I wanted to use so I decided to make a carnation type . I didn't fluff it up too much in the centre because I wanted to put something in it – cos I'd found the perfect button. I tied the flower with dental floss and had left long ends so I threaded these through the button to keep it tight and used a glue dot to keep it in place.

 

I used one of my new embossing folders on some plain white card, pierced a hole in the centre, threaded the dental floss through this and stuck it at the back. On all the raised dots I stuck some gold peeloffs and some flat-backed pearls (to match the button).

 

The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped with gold ink and heat embossed.

 

So here it is – I hope you like it. I have to admit I'm quite proud of this one.

 

 

I made a box for it out of gold card but the pictures didn't turn out very well so you'll just have to imagine that part.

What a fantastic present!

I've had to wait a few days before posting this card.  This is the first card that I have made using my lovely new Cuttlebug.  My future MIL Michelle bought it for me for my Easter - so much better than an Easter egg :)  So of course my first make should be a thankyou card for her.

Thanks again Michelle - you really shouldn't have but it is fantastic!! xx

Lilac Mother's Day Card

This is the card I made for my future Mother In Law for Mother's day.  This is the first card I've made for her so I wanted to make it special as she is.  I couldn't wish for a better (future) MIL, thanks Michelle xxx

I was inspired by a beautiful card made by Wanda at My Creative Corner.  I know she loves lilac so this is what I came up with. 

The purple glitter card is from my card stock.
The background papers came from here, here and here
The picture came from here, I thought it was lovely.
The flower came from Jak Heath's blog although this is for a double flower I just used the smallest one.
