Hello friends! This month my Artisan Group consisting of Tammy Wilson, Heather Thomas, Sandra Herzog, Karine Lison and myself where given the Marigold Moments bundle to design with. I actually quite enjoyed this bundle as it has some really amazing elements!

I am really going to miss these embossed treat bags! they were so easy to create with!

I decided to make a card and coordinating treat bag for my projects this month. You can give these together or individually! Let’s start with the Embossed Treat Bag—I used my Blending Brush in Blushing Bride to give a bit of color to the right side of the bag and then I flicked my Stampin’ Write marker over top as I do love the splatter look.

I cut a large scallop circle from the Layering Circle Dies and then a circle of DSP from the Regency Park DSP to go on top. The marigold cluster was stamped in Blushing Bride and Mango Melody ink and die cut. All of the greenery is either stamped or die cut from Soft Seafoam ink.

I actually LOVED this color combination and am sad to see both Blushing Bride and Mango Melody retire. I had alot of fun creating with them over the years.

The sentiment “You have a Heart of Gold” is absolutely AWESOME and one that I don’t recall ever seeing in any other stamp sets before. I added a double bow behind it in the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, another LOVE that is retiring. And lastly to play off of the sentiment I added some gold sequins from the Adhesive Backed Pastel Sequins.

To all of the moms out there…you are killin’ it. have an awesome mother’s day!

This card is quite fun as its a shakerless shaker card, hahaha! I cut a window out of my first layer of Basic White card stock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and after I stamped the cluster of marigold flowers on the card base in Blushing Bride, I added this window layer with the Adhesive Strips.

TOP TIP: Use Adhesive Strips instead of Dimensionals to get a little more lift. They are thicker and so easy to run around the edges of your shape as you can cut them to any length you like!

The Marigold Moments Dies have a really awesome border die that cuts out the scallop that I tucked along the inside bottom of the card and the reverse image underneath the sentiment. I love that this stamp set includes a Happy Mother’s Day stamp,

There are two dies used to create one of these marigold flowers and one for the stem. For the base of the flowers I die cut the solid back in Mango Melody and Blushing Bride. The top die cut layer and the stamps are cut out of Basic White and then I used my Blending Brushes to add some color. I love this look because it adds so much texture and depth. The idea is NOT to make the Basic White base look like card stock but to allow for color variation. I added a few extra flowers tucked in and behind my main blooms to help give the illusion of a bouquet.

And of course I had to add some gold sequins. Every project needs a little bling right?

I hope these projects inspire you and please make sure to check out what the rest of my group has created on either the Stampin’ Up! Official Instagram page or their individual pages:

Thanks friends and see you again soon!

Here is a supply list of what was used to create these projects. If they have inspired you, please consider shopping with me so I can continue to do what I love!

Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends and followers. Whether you are a dog mom, a mom with a child in heaven, with kids at home, grown children, a friend with an amazing relationship with your own mom, or have someone who mom’s you, today is for you! So for my A Card a Day in May series today I had to share a Mom inspired card!

〰️Happy Mother's Day

This card is fun as it used a bunch of paper strip scraps I had laying around! You never know what those scraps might become!

The best part of this card is the bunch of ‘flowers’ using the Meadow Dies! I paired them up with the Honeybee Home stamp set in this soft fun color combo of Petal Pink, So Saffron and Mint Macaron.

On each of the strips I stamped a different floral image from the stamp set in the coordinating ink color. Make sure to only stamp certain areas of the card stock so the images become more of a highlight.

I used various dies from the Meadow Dies in Vellum, Basic White, Gold Foil and Mint Macaron ink to create the bouquet.

The sentiment is from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set which is another #addtocart item in my opinion.

I added some Flirty Flamingo ribbon and gold twine behind the sentiment as well as a little bee embellishment and some In Color Jewels to the card front.

I also wanted to decorate the inside of this card, especially because the sentiment ‘So Glad we are Family’ from Honeybee Home was perfect for this Mother’s Day card.

It is a nice surprise to have stamping on the inside of your card. Wouldn’t you agree?
