"Mothers hold their children's hands" Mother's Day card

Happy Friday, All! 

Today is my day to share a project at Quietfire Creations and I used the heartwarming stamp Mothers hold their children's hands sentiment:

This is a perfect stamp for Mother's Day, mom's birthday or a "thinking of you mom" moment. 

For more details on the card (there are several Spellbinders layers!), feel free to hop on over to the Quietfire Creations blog.  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,

Vintage Valentine's Day card

Happy Friday!

One more day until Valentine's Day!  What are you doing to celebrate the day?  My husband and I are doing something very romantic: we are looking at a new front door for the house.  LOL.  We have had problems with the door since we moved in- the door has always been tricky to open.  Well, now it is stuck in the frame.  We cannot open it no matter how we try!  Thankfully we were inside the house when the door decided to stick...not outside with no house keys!  As a joke I should have made a Valentine's Day card for my husband and glued the edges so that he could not open it.  :)

This card does open...as a tent fold card.  The ivory base was die cut from Spellbinders' Exquisite Labels Eleven.  Maroon paper was dry embossed and die cut with Spellbinders' Labels Seventeen.   Next, ivory paper was die cut using Labels 39.  A shimmery piece of metallic maroon paper was die cut using Twisted Metal Tags and Accents and placed over the vintage Graphic 45 image from the Sweet Sentiments paper collection.  Stickles was applied to the wings and flowers on the image.  The finishing touch was a maroon double bow and gold button.

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your Friday...and be cautious of sticky doors!  :)
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Quietfire Design Winter Wonderland Blog Hop!

 

Quietfire Design is having a Christmas Blog Hop! Since Monday the Design Team has been sharing some Christmas cheer and inspiration as well as our latest rubber stamp creations.  Today is my day to post on the hop...woo-who! 

For my card I used the new Quietfire stamp Good Friends Are Like Snowflakes:

So sweet and so true!

The sentiment was stamped on ivory card stock and heat embossed using gold embossing powder. The sentiment was die cut using Spellbinders new die set Labels Thirty Nine.  As you can see, there are many layers to this card:

Here is a list of the layers starting under the die cut sentiment: gold foil paper die cut with Spellbinders Label Thirty Nine Decorative Elements, pink and gold Kanban polka dot paper die cut with Label Thirty Nine Decorative Elements, ivory card stock die cut with Labels Thirty Nine, vellum paper, Kanban written thoughts paper, gold foil paper and, lastly, an ivory tent fold card.

I hope you enjoyed the card!  It is a card that can be given to any friend pre or post holidays...perfect to give to a friend after the holidays for a little bit of cheer.  :)
