| Yup! Love you, Mom! |
Mother's Day is coming up! Yay! I guess. Whatever. I don't get that excited over holidays. Except for Halloween. Anyway, I made a card for my Mom (just getting how that makes me sound like a 5 year old) and this is how that happened.
Ingredients:
- Blank 4"x5 1/2" card with envelope
- 3"x5" index cards - 2
- 3 1/2" ribbon
- MOM scrapbook embellishment
- Love rub-on
- Self adhesive heart
- Scrapbook tag
- Brads - 2
- Stamps - background stamp, letter stamps
- Inks - pink & gold
- Glue stick
- Glue dot
- Hole punch
- Scissors
- Brad tool
 |
| Stamping the background. |
Run the pink ink pad over the edges of the 3"x5" cards.
 |
| Pretty up the edges. |
Place the MOM embellishment in the lower right corner of a 3"x5" card.
 |
| Putting the "MOM" in Mother's Day. |
Apply the Love rub-on in the upper left corner of the same card.
 |
| All you need is love... |
That needs something more...fancy. A sparkly heart does the trick!
 |
| ...and more love... |
Much better!
 |
| and lots of love! |
Now, for the YOU tag. I started with a little scrapbook tag and stamped YOU on it with gold ink.
 |
| What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. YOU. |
I then attached the tag to the card using two brads and my handy-dandy brad tool. The brad tool's not necessary, but it does make it much easier.
 |
| I <3 my brad tool. |
Punch a hole in the center at the top of the card and thread the ribbon through. Hold it in place with a glue dot at the back of the card.
 |
| Ribbon makes everything better. |
Glue the card to the front of the, well, card. The bigger card. You know what I'm talking about. Don't pretend you don't.
 |
| Glue it down. |
Do the same with the other index card to the inside.
 |
| Glue that down, too. |
That's all Folks! (If I'm being 5 years old, I may as well watch cartoons.)
 |
| Finished! |
Now I just need to figure out what gift to give her. Suggestions are always welcome.
Loving the card. I really like the look of brads in my cards too, they really finish it off nicely. I will be 5 years old this year too.
ReplyDeleteHey Tabitha! :) You do such a beautiful job making cards....I LOVE to make them too, just wish I had more time to do them.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to keep showing the progress on my laundry room..it's looking SO cute. (and stay tuned, I may or may not be putting a chandelier in mine!) ;-)

I like the variety in the lettering between "love" and "mom"...very cool. And, there's nothing like a homemade card, no matter how old you are!
