Mother's Day Cards for Charity

Here are some of the cards I made to sell at work. All proceeds to Breast Cancer Care. Managed to raise £279 this year so really pleased. 

All variations on a theme but have to make them as quick & easy as possible so can make more for the charity, lol.

Stampin' Up

Decided to do CAS for this lady's 70th birthday.

Stampin' Up image coloured with Promarkers. Sentiment computer generated.

Thanks for looking.

Simple Birthday

Was looking for a simple man's card for OH birthday & came up with this......

The background is direct to paper with my little ink pads & polished with tissue. It is much more subtle in real life. The stamped images are all from SU Pocket Silhouettes. Sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks for looking.




ps just re-read first sentence & don't think OH will appreciate being called simple!!

For a Gentleman

For a gentleman 80 years young who likes his garden.

Decided to finally try a tri shutter fold card. Quite enjoyed it but had a bit of practice on paper first cos instructions I had were for 12" x 5.5" & card I have is A4.

Stampin' Up Pocket Silhouettes stamp, Cuttlebug Alphabet for numbers, Nellie Snellen Rectangle Frame Dies for computer generated sentiment inside. Decoupaged the picture just to give it some depth.

Thanks for looking.

Mother's Day .... again!

 

Thought would try white and navy for a change.

 

Silhouettes in navy this time. Martha Stewart edge punch and Nestabilities Labels.


Can you tell how I'm struggling with the MD cards but determined to use the Pocket Silhouettes cos I love 'em! Did a second one with just a slight variation....

 

With a Personal Impressions swirl clear stamp in silver.

Sentiments are all computer generated.

Thanks for looking.

Mother's Day ........

 

My 2nd attempt at the charity Mother's Day cards. lol. This one was quite time consuming so although I like it I decided not to repeat it.

 
 

Stampin Up Pocket Silhouettes, Nestabilities Label, punched heart petal flowers, Martha Stewart edge punch, fern leaves from a corner punch and just picked out the little bits I needed, flat backed beads are Robin's Nest.

Thanks for looking.

Quick Card

Well haven't the last few days been ideal for having an indoor pastime!! lol Bloomin' weather. Perfect excuse for crafting, crafting & more crafting! (Or blog hopping!) Like I need one. Could do with some sunshine for my mojo though.

I used one of the stamps from the SU set 'Pocket Silhouettes' for this quick card. Punched flowers from one of the backing papers I used & fixed with brads. Martha Stewart edge punched borders. Backing papers were a free download from yonks ago so sorry don't know where from. Hope you like it.

Thanks for looking.
