Mother's Day Card Using Doodle Pantry Flower Hats Digi and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge



Hello fellow crafters.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Hopefully spring will be here soon for most of the US.  We never had a cold winter in Southern CA this year; and it has been unusually hot.  It has been a tough winter for a lot of the US and many continued to have snow in April.  

It is time for another fabulous challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox Challenge 69 - Mother's Day. This one should be an easy one.  You can create a card for any mother, your daughter, your daughter in law, your grandmother, your mother or any other mother that you know.  Our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry.  Be sure to check out their fabulous Digital images on their blog.

I decided to use Doodle Pantry Floral Hats Color Plus on my card this week.  I thought these hats were so adorable.  There are two colored hats, black and white hats, papers and sentiments to go with them.  I used the "Hats Off To You" sentiment on the front and "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment on the inside.  I went through my stash and found paper with matching colors to create this card.  I hope you enjoy it.

For both sentiments and hat


Inside card - Yellow is actually a lighter color than shown here.



Supplies used to create this card:

Rectangles - Nellie's Frames Straight Rectangles

Cardstock - CTMH Blush, White Daisy and Buttercup
Design Paper - K & Company Susan Winget
Ribbon - American Crafts

Mother's Day Swing Cards Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #61 - Theme Mother's Day

Hi all you wonderful crafters!!  I am so excited!!  I am still mailing out gifts and trying to reach all  the winners for my CTMH Anniversary Celebration.  It was my first give away and it was so much fun!!  I had the drawing on Monday and I gave away a total of 23 free prizes - thanks to my wonderful sponsors who offered 12 free Digi stamps to go with my 11 prizes.   I really appreciate everyone who participated.
 
It's time for another fantastic week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge 61 - Theme Mother's Day!  Our sponsors this week are QKR Stampede and Digi Stamp Characters.  Our Guest Designers this week is Kim Bowman and Cindy Groh.  Be sure to check out their blogs to see the fabulous creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer on Tammy's Scrapin Corner; just add GDT behind your name when you enter for your chance to win a spot on the team for one of our challenges.  We would love to have you join the fun!!
 
I had so much fun creating this card that I decided to create two Swing cards.  One of my winners/customers told me about the Swing cards on the Cricut Artiste Cartridge; so I had to try it.  I actually cut several different card bases and will be showing them at a later date.  The first card I created was for my Mother and the second one is for my daughter.  Our CTMH double sided papers are fabulous for the Swing card.  It is an easy card to make; but I want to try some different ways to decorate it for the other ones. 

There are 9 different patterns on page 52 of the Cricut Artiste handbook.  Each one has a matched shape from either the Cricut Art Philosophy or the Cricut Artiste Cartridges.  The overall size of the card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 making the card a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2.  Rebecca, another CTMH consultant developed a chart with size and shapes, page numbers, etc. for each of these cards.  Click here to see her creations and click here for the PDF file she created.  Have fun creating.
 
I chose QKR Stampede Roses for my image this week.  I colored my roses to match the paper.  I hope you enjoy these two cards.  I found a very cute Mother's Day sentiment for the front that you can get free from Hannelie at her Desert Diva website.  There are several Mother's Day sentiments on that first link and many more sentiments on the 2nd link.  She has some really awesome sentiments.  Enjoy.

Closed completely flat.  I used CTMH double sided paper; which is like cardstock weight.


2nd Swing Card - For My Daughter


Card From The Top - I hope this helps you to see how to create this card.
