Joy Clair and Mother's Day

My post today is an EASY Mother's day card using Joy Clair's "Hello Sentiments" stamp set.

We are having a special MOTHER'S DAY EVENT over at Joy Clair's Blog so make sure you check out lots of other neat ideas for Mother's day cards and more!

As for my card, you can whip this up in just a few minutes. It is great when you don't have a lot of free time to make something for your mom but you want to give her something special.

All you need is a punch or die cut machine to cut out some butterflies in different colored card stock. I used a punch I had from Martha Stewart but you can cut from your Silhouette or Cricut. Just cut out 5 butterflies and set aside.

I used Joy Clair's "Hello Sentiments" stamp set and used the "happy" and the "Mother's Day" stamps to stamp my sentiment at the bottom of the A2 card with black ink.  I used my MISTI to get my letters straight.
 

I glued the butterflies around the message and bent up the wings and I was done. To add more interest, I used a corner rounder to round the corners of my card. That's it!

I hope you give it a try! You can also do this with other die cuts for other holidays: flowers, ghosts, birds, crows, candy corn, pumpkins, snowflakes, ornaments.....you get the idea.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Halloween Fun

These fast and easy Halloween cards are great when you don't have a lot of time but want a cute card. I used some simple die cuts I purchased at Michael's a few years back from their Recollection line for the front. I popped the pumpkin and tag up with dimensional foam squares. On the inside I used files from the silhouette store. The pop up elements make the card fun and it looks like you spent hours making it, but in fact it only takes a few minutes!

 

I added a few more die cuts from the same collection on the inside, glued googlie eyes on the spider and some clear wink of stella to the words "Trick or Treat". The card base was some double sided paper from my stash. 

  

Another card using the same die cut set. I cut the moon out of yellow paper and inked the edges with some orange ink. Added the googlie eyes to the witch die cut and glued to the moon with dimensional squares.
