DCM Challenge - Mum's the Word

This week's dare has been set by Tanya Leigh:-

Make a card with the word MUM on it somewhere.

It could be Mother's Day, birthday etc.

Papers - Patti Picklicious

Stamp - Penny Black "You're the World"

Flowers - Prima Hydrangeas

Flourish - Sizzix Flourish #3

Lettering - Stickopotamus Mini Brush Letters

Tiny Butterflies - K & Co.

Making this card really made me think that we should all appreciate our Mum's a little bit more than we do, so I will be sending this card to my Mum even though it isn't Mother's Day, or her Birthday. The sentiment just says it all for me.

New Clear Stamps from Craftwork Cards

On the 5th February I put a sneak peak of a couple of cards I'd made for Craftwork Cards using their new range of Clear Stamps. Well I can finally show one of them (the other is going to be published!) Here it is:-

And here are a few more I made:-

Thanks for looking.

Fab Fern Punches

They've finally arrived - all the way from America. I love making cards with flowers on but also like to have a bit of foliage too just to balance things out. I trawled the internet and finally found exactly what I wanted - these punches. I just had to have a play lol.

This is what Ive made in the last couple of days.

Papers are by Daisy Bucket, stamp is by Penny Black, Ive used a selection of Prima and other flowers that I have in my stash, the 8 x 8 card is from Craftwork Cards and another big favourite of mine at the moment is of course the card candy also from Craftwork Cards. They really do finish the whole thing off nicely.

Papers by Daisy Bucket, stamps by Magnolia, Prima Hydrangeas, 8 x 8 card and card candy from Craftwork Cards.

I made this with the left over paper from the "Mam" card. Stamps are "Solidago Sprig" by Rubber Stampede and text stamp is from Crafty Individuals. 8 x 8 card and card candy from Craftwork Cards.

Hope you like them.
