Now for some inspiration...

I have made lots of cards for for Mother'sday!

Lets start with some shaker cards that are really simple..

For the first card, I printed out the sentiment (inspired by a card that I saw on Etsy),
directly onto the card stock.
I then used the PaperSmooches wine glass die to die cut the shape to create a shaker window. I inlaid just the stem of the glass and added deep red sequins to the glasses.
I finished the card by adhering it to the cardbase using 3Dfoam tape.
I just love the way the card turned out!

For the second card, I used the Die-versions Old Globe East die.

After adhering the plastic sheet to create the shaker window, I inlaid the die cut to create this super simple card.

I added some heart and flat sequins in deep red to the shaker.

I finished the card with a sentiment from mftstamps 'Space Explorer' stamp set.

I just love the CAS look of both cards.

For the third shaker card, I used the PaperTrey ink mason jar cut out on a panel on which I had printed out the sentiment.

After creating the shaker window, I added the buttons and used Craftangles 'Hearts All around stencil' to fill up the background.

Fun no?

Our sponsors this month are Newton's Nook and Craftangles.

So, I have used supplies from both brands to make these cute mother's day cards.

I love the newly released Craftangles 'Hearts All around' stencil..and I felt it paired beautifully with the Newton's Nook stamp set 'Wild about you'

I used the 'Lawn Fawn' grass diecut, sentiments and dies from Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp, patterned paper from bob and Betty, inks from Memento and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to finish the cards.

To make these two cards, I used the newly release 6"x6" Craftangles paper pack 'Timeless Treasures' and mftstamps 'I'm Owl yours' and 'Purrfect friends' stamp set.

This last card is a fvourite...

I used the newly released Craftangles superhero paper pack and the 'Supergirl' stamp set aslong with a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you have enjoyed these cards as much as I have making them.

I haven't made any tags this month as I have made so many cards!

To inspire you further this month

Mothers day Inspiration using CrafTangles Products

Hello Crafters,

With Mothers Day just round the corner, I thought I would share some inspirations with you all. As most of you know CAS has never been my forte so when I had to guest design for Parus Cardmaking Challenges I was terrified, but I decided to give it a go and I am glad I did :)

So without further wait, here are the tags I made for the challenge -
