Playing Cards with Friends! May 2022

Hello, my friends - thanks for stopping by today!  I'm so happy to be Playing Cards with another of my blogging friends today:  TK Watson from Time 4 Cards!  

TK happens to be one of a handful of people I surprised with a phone call many years ago.  She and I have had lots of chats since the first - and even have crafted together over the phone - without FACETIME!  Good thing we both have very good imaginations, right? lol

Okay.  Here was our assignment for May 2022:

  • There MUST be flowers
  • Remember Mom
  • also use embossing [dry or heat]

    My mom has been gone longer than I want to remember, but she is in my heart always - my card says it perfectly:



    • My flowers come in the form of washi tape today - Pinkfresh Studio's Rainbow Floral washi and coordinating die.  I've arranged them over an oval of white from which I had cut a label frame.
    • the negative space provides a positively perfect place to tuck in this sentiment [Altenew] that says it all when it comes to my mom.
    • My embossing was achieved using a Stampin' Up folder called Tasteful Textile 
    I'll have Tom give this one to his mom on Mother's Day!

    Okay, TK - here I come!  I can't wait to see how you've remembered Mom today!  Thanks so very much for accepting my invitation to Play Cards - we really need to get that Facetime date planned!

    Elf Shirley and second helpings!

     

    My friend Shirley Bampton designs under The Bee's Knees for Stamplorations, and is our fabulous inspirational Elf over at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #44 - Peace on Earth.  Of course, I had to play with her Layered Holly again!  I just love the perfectly imperfect way its layers play together... especially when imperfectly fuss-cut, and mounted on a fun embossed card base! 


    HEY!  I guess since it involves an embossed [The Paper Studio - woodgrain] die-cut, I can send this one over to Let's Squash it! #3 too!  Here's a little closeup of those glossified berries ... I've also used my SU corrugated folder for my card front.




    I'm making the best of this 'staying home, staying in' thing!  and finding so much joy in the making!
