C.R.A.F.T and Cute Card Thursday Challenges

Here's a Mother's Day card for my Mom. The theme at C.R.A.F.T. is Mother's Day and/or flowers. They are giving a Stamping Bella Stamp and some handmade flowers to the winner! The challenge at Cute Card Thursday is Lucky Green in honor of St. Patrick's Day, using green as your main color. They are giving away four digi stamps from InStyle Stamps!

I used a Spellbinders rectangle to make the window for my card. The flower stamp is Penny Black "Clique" which I've attached pearls to the middle of. The sentiment is also by Penny Black. I punched the flowers around the front window and added gems. The sentiment is on the inside of the card.

Hope you have a great day!

Crafts for Eternity, Our Daily Bread, and Saturday Spotlight Challenges

Hi. Here is a fun card that I made for three challenges: Crafts for Eternitywhich is a recipe challenge offering a mini card kit for the winner, Our Daily Bread: where you need to use red or pink and some bling and offering a $15 gift certificate for ODB stamps (which I would LOVE to win), and Saturday Spotlight: whose challenge is to use a household item to make your card. They are giving 4 digi's from Victoria Case as a prize.

Here is my card recipe:
The zebra is a chipboard from Debbie Mumm's Noah's ark, the polka dot paper is from Paper Studio, I've cuttlebugged the red panel and used a Spare Parts jumbo flower for bling. (I colored a pearl with a Copic marker and added tiny pearls around it.)The green panel paper is by Francis Meyer. I used a Spellbinders die for the red panel on the outside and the black one on the inside. I wrote the sentiment by hand. Now for the fun part: For a household item, I used two swimsuit bra hooks (Dritz) on the front with the striped ribbon through it. and then, most of you will recognize the bra extender on the inside.

I'm going to give this card to my sister-in-law who is quite buxom! I, on the other hand, am not! Hopefully, this card will not seem off-color to anyone. I hope it makes you smile instead.

Have a great day!
