Happy Saturday and time for to another new colour duo from Dynamic Duos!

Stamps: Pretty Patches Umbrella (WPlus9)

10 Minute Craft Dash #18

I haven`t done the 10 Minute Craft Dash in a long time.  Week after week I save the colour palette and then don`t get to it. I was having trouble getting to sleep tonight so I figured tonight is the night.  I thought I was doing so good until the first butterfly I put on he card didn`t work.  So I die cut another butterfly, found the co-ordinating stamp and did the exchange.  

Coming in at 9:41.7 minutes, here is my card.

All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.

Cardstock:  White, Lemon Tart, Lavendar Moon, Spring Moss

Patterned paper: Lemon Tart Patterned Paper Pack

Stamps: Pretty Peonies (Plain Jane Smile (Verve)

CCC #44

Time for a new CASology Cue Card.  This week our Cue Card is:

By using paper piecing you can add lots of interest to a CAS card without the bulk of multiple layers.  Very excited to use my new Surely Goodness stamp set from Verve stamps.  It is my first Verve purchase so you will be seeing lots more of this one.  For my card I created die cuts for the flowers using my Silhouette. Then I used them to cut my images using patterned papers from Lawn Fawn's Daphne's Closet and then stamped the image on top.  This is such a cool technique and gives your image depth.  I added a piece of foam tape behind the image to add some dimension again without bulk. 

Head on over to CASology today to learn what the 'cue card' means to you, how you can play along and see the all the cards created by the Design Team to inspire you.

Mother's Day Wrap Up & MFW Gift Tag Challenge

I hope that all Mom's had a wonderful Mother's Day.

I wanted to take a moment to show you how I finished up my Mother's Day gifts for my Mom and my Mother-in-law. Jumping on the bandwagon with the 'tea' craze this year both Mom's got some loose tea and an infuser from David'sTea.  Then I used Laurie Willison's Card Hanger die to create custom gift bags that co-ordinated with the Mother's Day cards I made last week HERE and HERE. I die cut the card hangers from white and then stamped them using the same images as the card in the same colours.

I am linking up my tags to the Moxie Fab World 350 Cards & Gifts Tag Challenge.

Edit:  Ooops French side of the box showing!

Quick and easy!
