Mother's Day Card - Unscripted Sketches #249

Haven't done a Sketch It Saturday in a long time so I took advantage of some new stamps I got at huge scrapbook resale event in my local area this morning.

 Some Items I used:
CTMH Frames Borders Tags Stamp Set
"For the Record" paper collection
Sizzix embossing folder
Red Copic Marker
Memento Black Ink Pad

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday

A fun little card I made for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #139.  The challenge was to use border stamps to make a square.  I used the only border die I had from the Boutique Borders - Baby stamp set.  I also used the Think Big Favorites #12 for the "happy" stamped 3x.  The birthday die is from PTI as well.  I pulled out the Close to My Heart's Whooo's Your Valentine to make a chevron border in the background.  It was painstaking but I like the result. It was a fun challenge and the first one I have done!

Whimsical Flower Card

I was in a fix to make a cute, quick card for my sister Emily for Mother's Day.  She is Lukeyloo's godmother.  I found this card below on Pinterest and used it as my inspiration.  Click HERE to visit the site that the card is from.  It is in what I believe to be Russian but the pictures helped translate! 

 This is my version of the card....

I let go of my A-type personality and free-hand cut the circles using the Joy Ride 6x6 Paper pack from Cosmo Cricket.  It helped to cut one size and then use it as a guide for the other patterns of the same size.  I folder craft paper to make the stems and used a simply tan paper that I scored using the Martha Stewart scoring board for the "pot".  To make the pot, I scored to lines on each side. I then folded and glued the first fold on the inside.  The pot was looking a little boring so I added some sticker words from the Authentique Blisful line.  I love the saying!
