Mother's Day Cards

Hello Bloggy Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and got lots of crafty time.   I got some and will actually have a really cute Cricut/quilling/punch art project to show you just as a soon as a I find my hot glue gun and can finish working on it.   I have nooooo idea where that pesky little glue gun went but I'm thinking it might be at church.   Hmmmmmm.   Anyway, I was in the midst of vacuuming when my vacuum cleaner died (WHAT LUCK HUH?) so I thought I'd share some more cards.

The above card combines two of my favorite things to do - stamping and cross-stitching.   I intended on paper piercing the corners when all of a sudden I spotted some embroidery floss and thought - well why not?   The stamp is Penny Black and I have absolutely no idea who made the paper because it was in my scrap stash.  Once paper ends up in the scrap stash it's origins are a complete mystery to me.   :o)

Here's another one that actually just sold this weekend.   The bird stamp is from The Greeting Farm, and I embossed it on patterned paper, cut it out and then attached it to the card on foam tape.   I do know who made these papers - K&Co., and the punched flowers have dew drop centers.  

I promise I'll be back with some more Cricut creations - just as soon as my rechargeable batteries recharge and I can take pictures again.   I better go see if the vacuum cleaner is really broken or if I just overheated it.   I do that sometimes.  :o)

Have a wonderful, happy, blessed day!
Hugs!

Sparkling Angel

Hi everyone!
I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted! Christmas really got the better of me this year! Maybe next year I'll get wise and get started on everything in October instead of November. Yeah right LOL! I'm one of those people who work better under pressure.

Despite my lack of posting I have been stamping a lot. I just put around 30 new cards in my Etsy shop today, and this is one of them. I just think this angel is the cutest little thing! She's from Stampin' Up! and I stamped her once on white card stock and then I embossed her on the patterned paper, cut out the dress and paper pieced it onto the stamped image. I also colored the little flowers on her dress and added sticky blue rhinestones to the centers. I LOVE this paper from K&Co. too. I felt like I'd been neglecting my punches for awhile too, so I made the little flowers in the corners, punched some leaves and then added baby blue sticky back pearls to the centers of the flowers. I swear these little sticky back pearls are so addicting - which reminds me I need to make a trip to Michael's this week for more. Hee Hee!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We're actually not done celebrating yet because my sister and her family were in FL over the holiday so we're celebrating with them this weekend. And wow is it going to be another busy weekend at that! We're getting together with friends on New Years Eve, then we get together with my husband's family on New Years Day, and then my whole family is coming here the day after that. Yikes! I'm going to need a vacation soon. LOL.

Take Care & God bless!
