Happy Friday, crafty friends! Welcome to day 1 of the All The Feels release blog hop, which is full of amazing new products! There is a FREE Love Your Guts die available for purchases of $25+ while supplies last, just be sure to use the code LYGT42. This promotion will expire 3/28 at 11:59 pm ET.
I will put all of the blog hop details at the end of my post, but how about we get to my cards first? Today I have a set of cards for both mother's day and father's day.
Happy Mother's Day card
I stamped and heat embossed the Halftone Circle Background in white to white cardstock. I trimmed the panel down with a Stitched Rectangle die, then ink blended the panel in Candy Violet, Raspberry Bliss & Aquamarine. I splattered it with gold using the Gansai Starry Colors paints. I mounted it to an A2 card base with foam adhesive.
Next I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Meowther's Day stamp set in black, and trimmed down into a thin strip. I adhered it to the card front over a knot of gold thread with foam strips, then finished by accenting with iridescent jewels.
Happy Father's Day card
For this card I ink blended the Large Chevron Pattern stencil to white cardstock in Aquamarine, Storm and Key Lime inks. I trimmed the panel down with a Stitched Rectangle die, then added gold paint splatters. I mounted the panel to a blue cardbase with foam adhesive. I stamped the sentiment in black, then trimmed into a strip and added a banner edge to the left side.
I adhered it over a knot of gold thread with foam tape, then accented with iridescent jewels to finish.
That is the card I have for you today! I hope you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out the entire All The Feels release, as they are full of fantastic products for tons of crafting fun! How about we get to the blog hop info that you need?
