Make A Difference Mother's Day Share What You Love

Happy Mother’s Day (Share What You Love)

written by Kylie

Hi, it’s Mother’s Day! Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are Mum’s, step-Mum’s, foster Mum’s, soon to be Mum’s and Mum’s of angels in heaven. To those of you who find this to be a hard day, for any reason, best wishes to you too.

For my Mother’s Day card, I wanted to use the gorgeous Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (currently only available as part of the Gotta Have It All bundle) because…I want to use it for everything these days. lol It is just gorgeous! As it is so pretty, I really wanted it to be the star of the show, along with the sentiment, so I kept the design very simple. I don’t have a Mother’s Day sentiment stamp so I used the fabulous new Make a Difference stamp set to create my own greeting. Yes, it is a little lopsided but I think this adds to the charm.

Here’s the card…

The Make A Difference stamp set is gorgeous and versatile as you can create any sentiment you desire – really handy for personalising your projects. The other fantastic feature of this stamp set is that it has the copyright stamp which you need to stamp on the back of your cards if you are selling them. Currently, the Make A Difference stamp set is available as part of both the A Little More, Please bundle and the Gotta Have It All bundle.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Hi, sometimes I think our embossing folders never get enough love…well, mine sure don’t. I love using them but sometimes forget to do so. I don’t know why. They are fabulous tools to add a little extra texture to a card. With the new “Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder” (which you will be able to pre-order from May 1, 2018, or right now if you are a Demonstrator), you can not only add some gorgeous texture, you can make it a fabulous feature of a card.

The first card was inspired by a card I saw on a Demonstrators Group. Unfortunately, I cannot link to the original designer because I only saw it in passing and didn’t take note of the designer. It wasn’t something I thought I was ever going to try. I’ve subsequently seen a few people try this technique.

All you need is the embossing folder, cardstock and some inks. I placed a sheet of Whisper White cardstock into the embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot. You can use either sponge daubers or the stamping sponges to add the colours to the embossed (raised) sections of the paper. You can use any colour combination you like. Now if you are a perfectionist you might struggle a little with this technique as it is a little messy and the colours can combine in ways you might really like but I hope you’ll give it a go as it really does look good when the card is finished.

Here’s the card…

As I was making the first card I kept dabbing off the ink onto a scrap piece of paper which just happened to be an earlier attempt at this same card. I realised that the reverse side looked just as pretty using this technique so I had to give this a try as well.

Here’s the card…

This is a technique which really surprised me by how much I like it. Have you tried colouring your embossing folders like this? I hope you’ll give it a go. It really does look so lovely.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!
