Flower Garden Box Card for Mothers Day

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I love making box cards.  You’re creativity and imagination can go wild, because you can insert any kind of cut-out to create your card.  This flower garden card was made for my mother-in-law for Mothers Day.

2017 Mothers Day cardWhat is so sweet, she keeps some of the cards that we have given her for various occasions displayed in the china hutch. So for this card I decided not to make the sentiment visible so it can stay out all year.

My husband loved the way the fencing was around the base of the card 🙂

2017 flower box cardAnd for the finishing touch I added a ladybug that is attached by a paper covered wire so it looks like it is flying around the flowers.

This card was made using my Cricut Explore Air, various Thin Cut dies used with a Cuttlebug machine, lots of Stamps and Ink.

Making Paper Flowers

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I love flowers and I betcha you all love them too BUT we all are not happy when we have to throw them away.

That’s why I love making paper flowers 🙂

First of all you can make them any color and size  that you want.  You can keep them on display for as long as you like without watering them or having to pick up petals and leaves that have fallen off.  Plus you have the enjoyment of making them yourself.

Since spring has officially sprung a few weeks ago I have been in the mood to make flowers since they make me happy.

Spring WreathI made this wreath for my mother and father in-law to celebrate spring.  Everything on this wreath is made of paper (and you all know that I love paper)

Close To My Heart was selling wreath kits a few months back but don’t worry if you didn’t get one.  If you have a Cricut machine, you can make these flowers using the Cricut cartridge from CTMH called Flower Market since all of these flowers are in this cartridge.  You can check out the cartridge on my Close To My Heart website.  This Cricut Collection also comes with a cardstock combo package and coordinating rubber stamps.

Hope you have a great weekend.  If you can’t get outside because of rain or cold weather, bring the sunshine inside and start making some paper flowers!
