Happy Mother's Day

Hey friends, with Mother's Day coming, it's not too early to begin creating a wonderful card or two for that special woman in your life.  And this is posted on the  Zig  blog today.


Today I stamped this cute pup from Stampavie on Cryogen White Cardstock.  Then I used Zig Brushables to color her.  The Zig Brushables are awesome markers because they come as dual colors.  One end is the full color and the other end is 50% lighter. 

Create a 5 1/2" square card from pink cardstock.
Use your Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy to score at 5 1/2" and fold to create the card base.

Stamp the image and color with the following markers:
Cool Cucumber
Pale Yellow
Baby Pink
Platinum (not shown)

Using the Brushables makes it very easy to create dimension in your projects by creating gradient colors.

Cut black cardstock 5" x 5" and adhere to the card base.

Cut green cardstock 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and adhere to the card.

Place a rub-on sentiment on a strip of green cardstock and mat with black cardstock.

Add across the center of the card.

Die cut a large oval from black cardstock and adhere over the sentiment with foam adhesives.

Add the image with foam adhesives for dimension.

There you have a sweet card for Mom.

Supplies:

Cardstock: ThePapertemptress.com

Stamp: Stampavie

Dies: Spellbinders

Markers: Zig Brushable Markers

Rub-on: My Sentiments Exactly

Today I'm sharing with you an easel card.



Using my Scor-pal, this shaped card was so easy to create. I cut my card from Core-dinations cardstock using Spellbinders Grand Calibre Scalloped Circle Dies, being sure a small section of the cardstock did not cut, thus creating a card. I scored the top panel at 7 1/2" and 8 1/4" to create the folded section of the card which would become the easel.



I folded this section and used Scor-tape to add a seperate Scalloped Circle on top, lining up the scallops.



I added a smaller circle on the card base, inked the edges and stamped butterflies from the Unity Stamp set using Clearsnap's Mix'd Media Inx which I then embossed with clear embossing powder.



I stamped the Lemonade Stand on Cryogen White cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers, then cut it out as I wanted it 3 dimentional. Since I wanted to add a small image behind the Lemonade stand, I cut out the center. The mini Magnolia image was also colored with Copic Markers and cut to fit behind the Lemonade stand which was adhered with foam adhesive squares. Before assembling the card, I added some twine behind the layers.
