Happy Mother's Day........{Trendy Twine Special Post}

Morning and Happy Mother's Day to all my wonderful bloggy friends!

I hope your day is packed with tons of hugs, love and maybe some crafty goodness :)

I have a special post to share with actually 2 cards that I made in honor of Mother's Day!

So along with a few of the Trendy Twine DT members we are honoring Mom's Day AND I am sharing Trendy Twine's 2 newest colors!!!

(so make sure to hop over to the Trendy Twine Blog to see what the other ladies made!)

Whoo Hoo!! Introducing 

Totally Kraft and Totally White!

They are now available and a MUST have....well all the colors are..LOL!!!

Ok enough talking.....time to share my projects!

First up is a CAS Mother's Day card using the showcase color of the month

Tickled with Teal and the newest release Totally White

I started out with a Kraft Cardstock base and added a mat of white and Chalk Garden designer paper from Three Bugs in a Rug. To give the mat a more finished look I added some machine stitching around the border. My sentiment is from Studio G~ Best Mom set

Here is a close-up of the twine flower I made. The base is a circle of the Totally White Trendy Twine and then to add some additional color to the flower I did a double bow using the Tickled with Teal Trendy Twine.

There is my project number 1. What do you think???

Now for my next project! I wanted to play along with this week's

Peachy Keen Stamps challenge which is to make a card for Mom/Grandma.

Well what better time to post then on Mother's Day so here is card #2

I made an easel card using the card kit from My Scrap Chick

So for this card I again used a Kraft Cardstock base and scrap papers from my ever growing stash. Since the white base was a bit plain I ran it through my cuttlebug with the flower embossing folder and then stickled the centers with Cotton Candy Stickle.

That adorable little girl is from Kadoodle Bug Designs and I stamped her face using Peachy Keen Stamps~ Princess Faces.

Instead of adding the bow cuts from the file, I added some Totally White Trendy Twine bows to her hair and to her dress. I finished off the front of the card I tied a big bow using 3GJ Dress White crinkle ribbon and some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

The inside of the card is the same as the front except I added my sentiment, again from the same Studio G~Best Mom stamp set. There were flowers from the cut file that I chose not to add to the front, that I added to a cluster on the sentiment.

What do you think???
