And then you realise that there's a really good reason why the other Mother's Day card didn't get posted to the blog. Although you wrote up a load of other cards and scheduled them, you didn't actually get around to writing the post to go with this card. So, a couple of days late, here… Continue reading Flowers and mice
My go-to provider of floral digi stamps is Power Poppy, who make the most gorgeous floral arrangements, but every now and again it's nice to colour something simpler that I can add a few tweaks to. Unfortunately, I discovered Wee Stamps just after she (hopefully temporarily) closed her digi stamp store, so I have to… Continue reading Mother’s Day flowers
I always make two Mother’s Day cards; the first one was for my other half’s mum and this one — which has to be a Mothering Sunday card — is for mine. Another Power Poppy digi because Marcella’s gorgeous illustrations make it so easy to create beautiful images. Individually, the greens for the leaves don’t… Continue reading Mothering Sunday: Pink camellias

Rather less traditionally, there also have to be some cute critters on there. How: I love… Continue reading Mothering Sunday: Bouquet and birds
This card was created on February 26th; ready for the time of year when the floral stamp sets come into their own… Mother’s Day. I made this one for my other half's mum. Inspired by: This card by Sharon Hayes on Instagram. How: Stamping, heat embossing, Distress ink blending and fussy cutting. All far easier… Continue reading Mother’s Day: Doodle blooms
What: After thinking I had loads of time before Mother's Day came around, this morning I suddenly realised that it is next weekend and, as I hate having to rush things, I really ought to pull my finger out and get a card done for my mum. It's also day four of The Daily Marker… Continue reading Mother’s Day card: Flowers and bunnies
