Gift Tags with Flowers for Mother's Day

Welcome to the month of May! I think the thing I love most about this month is flowers. All of sudden everything is in bloom and beautiful colors abound.

Today I'm featuring a set of gift tags I created with Deena's Bottle Cap Images - Mother's Day Flowers. The colors are gorgeous!!

There are six different floral images and you will get six of each -- for a total of 36 images on a page! The size of each round is a bit larger than one-inch.

I printed the downloadable on white card stock and punched out four of rounds using my 1-1/4" punch -- this leaves a bit of white around the edges, but I like the way they pop against the background of the tags.

I used four manila tags and lightly sprayed them with turquoise mist. When they dried, I stamped them with botanical images also in turquoise. To add a bit of contrast, I stamped "carte postale" in sepia colored ink to give them a vintage feel. I also distressed the edges of the tag in the sepia color.

For lack of a better word, I "scrunched" each round to give it a distressed feel and embellished each with a brad. I attached each bottle cap image to a tag and for a finishing touch tied a strip of turquoise seam binding to the top. The flower colors match perfectly with the turquoise accent!

These tags would be a lovely addition to a Mother's Day gift box or gift bag! The flowers images are so bright and cheery!!

Have a wonderful Mother's Day everyone! See you next time!

Mother's Day Cards

This file is so cute, that I just had to play with it and for a change, I didn't do an invitation to tea.
You can find this file here.  You get 2 tea bag envelopes per page and you can print as many as you need.



 

I made 2 different but kind of the same cards.

 

 

The papers are all from DCWV. I cut the card, clipped the corners and added a piece of yellow ribbon to the fold side. The scalloped circle is a Spellbinder's die, I put the envelope on top of the circle. The envelope if perfect for slipping in a sample of your favorite tea to share with the recipient.

 

 

I decided to make this one a shaker card so I cut out the front part of the envelope and put the rest aside to use another day.

 

I put a couple of layers (scraps) under the shaker element and added a hat from plumpurdy.com which I stamped onto watercolor paper using StazOn ink. I colored it with watercolor pencils and did a fussy cut, adding it to the corner of the shaker element. To be honest, the hat was an after thought, I had been doing some experimenting and it was one of my useable experiments and still sitting in my work area.

 

I managed to use all scraps for both cards, but my scrap pile doesn't seem to have gone down very much. All of the papers are from DCWV's, "Flower Shower Spring Stack".

Mother's Day Card in Minutes (faster than standing in line to buy one)

I couldn't resist this printable I love the flowers and the wonderful colors in this beautiful printable.

You get 1 of these envelopes on the page and you can print as many as you need.

 

All you need to do is cut it out and do the very easy assembly.

 

I started with a 5 x 7 blank card which I covered with some Bazzill Basics paper and washi tape to the sides. I added the sentiment and the seed envelope, I used foam pads on the envelope.

 

You can add a gift card, pack of Zinnia seeds or whatever you like in the envelope.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Mother's Day Cards

Mother's Day will be here before we know it, these pretty bookmarks make great Mother's Day cards.

 

 

You get 4 bookmarks total, 2 of each design. These are very easy to work with, all you need to do is cut them out. I also cut a piece of chipboard and layered mine up, I used all of the bookmarks, putting 1 on the bottom, chipboard than the 2nd bookmark (Lilac on Lilac and Lavender on Lavender) on top.

 

 

After layering them up I punched the holes in the top and added a piece of twine. I used my paper crimper on the card face and a Cuttlebug embossing folder (butterflies) with some Core'dinations paper, I sanded some of the embossing along the butterflies, "trails".

 

I also added a small wood butterfly to each bookmark and a jewel to the center of the butterflies. Sequins and pearls on the opening edge and used my only Mother's Day stamp on the sentiment.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
