Mother's Day 3D Challenge

It is time for a new 3D Challenge over at CardzTV.  The Challenge this week is to make a 3D card for Mother's Day. Here is what I came up with.

I made an Easel Card for my project. I used bright yellow and blue card stock for my layers.  The final yellow layer behind my image is embossed with tiny flowers.  I apologize, that I don't know the name of the folder but it is a Sizzix embossing folder.

My image is from the Suburbia cartridge. It is called Gloria all dressed up. It is a simple cut just two layers yellow and black.  I cut her out at 3 1/2".  I used some daffodil liquid pearls to enhance her earring and the necklace because they are so tiny and hard to see..  She is attached to my card with some foam tape. The word Mom was cut from a Silhouette file but you could use any font you have..

To help my easel card stand up I added a blue mat cut at 2" X 4". I used a EK Success border punch to add the scalloped edge.  Next I cut a piece of yellow card stock at 1 1/2" X 3 3/4".  I used some Printworks Periwinkle Blue ink to stamp my sentiment.  The Queen for a day comes from the CardzTV This and That stamp set.  Happy Mother's Day is from the Happy Days stamp set.

Now it is your turn.  Show us your 3d Card for Mother's Day.  Be sure to link it up over at CardzTV .
The challenge runs two weeks. At the end of the challenge Mary will use Random.Org to select a winner for a free set of stamps.  While over there don't forget to hop on over to her stamp blog and order up some stamps. You will never be at a loss for words if you have several sets of Mary's stamps.

Happy Mother’s Day Card

For this card I started with a 5” X 7” white pre-folded card base. I used the Lori’s Garden cartridge for all the patterned papers. I started with the 5:7 stock image rectangle and flooded it with the floral blue pattern and cut it down to 4 3/4” X 6 3/4”. I then cut a piece of white card stock 2” x 6 3/4” and used  Martha Stewart border punch on it and put that across the middle of my card. I added a light blue and white dotted ribbon across the top of the white to cover the edge of the card stock. I then used my Elegant Edges cartridge and flooded the shadow of this image with a pink patterned paper and cut it at 4”.  I cut the base layer flooded with a blue patterned paper. I then cut the image one more time at 3 1/2” and flooded it with a solid dark blue also from Lori’s Garden Imagine cartridge. I ran the solid blue piece through my Cuttlebug and embossed it with the Swiss Dots folder. I cut the pansy image from Lori’s Garden as well at 3” using the layers feature. I pop dotted many of the layers of the flowers to give dimension to the card. I adhered mat cut from Elegant Edges to the card with pop dots but the individual layers where adhered together with my ATG gun. To finish the card, I tied a small bow and adhered it to the ribbon with a pop dot. Added some pearls at the lower edge of my card and stamped my sentiment. Thanks for visiting.

Mother’s Day Card

 

Here is a quick Mother’s Day card I made this afternoon using the All Wrapped Up Cricut Imagine cartridge. This is a card that is on the cartridge. The Imagine cartridges don’t have the typically creative features like the regular cricut cartridges do. I cut this card at 5 1/2” which gave me a wide of 8” so my finished card size is 4” X 5 1/2 and will fit in a regular A2 envelope. I left all the colors as they were in the book and used the layer feature to cut the images. I scored and folded the card base. Before adhering the blue scalloped layer I lightly sprayed it with some Electric Blue glimmer mist to give it some sparkle which doesn’t show up well in the photo. After it dried I adhered it to my card. I adhered the layers of the Babushka doll with pop dots except for the center of the flower under the scarf. To finish the card I used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching along the edge of the blue scallop mat. I also added some dark pink rhinestone flowers to the corners of the scallop and a dark pink rhinestone gem to the center of the flower. I stamped my sentiment Happy Mother’s Day in white pigment ink. I am really loving the bright colors on the All Wrapped Up Imagine cartridge. Thanks for visiting.

Mother's Day Card

 My Pink Stamper is having a bunch of challenges today on her blog in honor of National Scrapbooking Day. The first challenge was to make a Mother's Day card. So I decided to play along and get the first of several Mother's Day cards I need to get made this weekend done. The card is 4 1/2" X 6. I cut 3 green mats at 1 7/8" X 4 1/4" and 3 mats with patterned paper at 1 3/4" X 4 1/8". The card base is cream Bazzill card stock. The other paper is from my scrap pile. I also cut a mat green 4 1/2" X 3 1/2" and a cream mat at 4 1/4" X 3 3/8". I used the cricut Mother's Day cartridge for the sentiment. I cut both the base layer and the shadow at 2 1/4" out of green and pink card stock. The flourish is from the Home Accents cartridge and is cut at 2 3/4". I added some Pink Prima flowers to the corner over the flourish and added some bling with a little pink rhinestone jewel. Thanks for looking.
