Mom's Day Card #1: CCR, Krafty Girls, My Sheri Crafts, Scrapalicious...

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends and thanks for stopping by Okscrappinmama.
I don't know about you but it seems when you have kids in school, these last few weeks are just sooo busy. I still have more cards to make for Teacher Appreciation, Mother's Day cards, shop for gift cards, we have dance recital. And, I need to get caught up on the kiddos scrapbooks. When you have a 10 yr old and 4 yr old asking "Where are all those pictures we took the last year at?"...you know it's time to scrap. LOL

So, here is Mother's Day card #1. This is a trifold card, welded together using the gypsy with tags and rectangles and "Happy Mother's Day" welded to it.
Here is a video from Crafting with Katie's blog (click here for video) and this is how I learned to do it. Once you get the basic shape welded together right, the possibilities are endless.

Black and red for ladybug. Pat terned paper I bought last year and is all coordinating from Prima Madeline Collection "Parsley Place." I just measured and cut the pieces of patterned paper.
Pearls and button from #1 bin at M's. Twine from the LSS.

Carts: WIMG ladybug at .75, Freshly Picked for flowers at 5.68 x 4, wording "Happy Mother's Day" from Martha Holiday Cakes at 2x 4.16, rectangle (1.5 x 12.29 and 1.5 x 8.09 from Don Juan and the rounded tag (hid the hole) from TBBM at 4.08 x 5.21.

I had to play with it just a bit to get the flower pot positioned right and the wording (hide/contour so certain areas wouldn't cut)

Thank goodness for a gypsy!! LOL

Mother's Day Card

Happy Friday, Happy (almost)Scrappbooking Day and...Happy (early)Mother's Day!

Here is a Mother's Day card my 9 yr old dd wanted to do for her "Mimi (my MIL), she picked out the K & Company paper pad and embellishments and I helped her do this trifold card. My MIL loves birds and flowers so that is why my DD liked the paper.

This is a cricutless card.

Details: 6 x 12 piece of cardstock cut and folded for a trifold shutter card. Papers from
K & Company/Susan Winget "Botanical" .
