Marigold Studio | Floral Mother's Day Tag Card

Hello! Today I have a Mother's Day Card for you. I had bought the Avery Elle Gift Tags dies and co-ordinating Gift Tags clear stamp set some time back and was really wanting to use it in a project as a focal point. 

The card I had in mind was soft hued, but with a pop of color to brighten someone's day!

I started by stamping the tag in Stampin' Up's Tangerine Tango Ink Pad, and used Avery Elle Fizz ink in softer orange tones to stamp the sentiment. The banner was stamped using Avery Elle Build A Banner stamp set with the Happy Mother's Day sentiment came from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

I tucked a leaf die cut and some stamped and punched flowers behind the scroll and added clear rhinestones to the flower centers for a little bling. A polka dotted yellow washi tape added a touch of brightness to the focal point. 

Finally, I assembled the card on a white card base, with a mat of light blue patterned paper die cut using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rounded Rectangles STAX die set, and tying an orange jute twine with a bow. I added a couple buttons and silver sequins to complete the look. I also rounded off the corners and added a faux stitched detail on the outside using an orange gel pen. 

I decorated the inside of the card with a stitched blue mat and a "celebrate" die from Little B Handwritten dies.

Hope you liked my creation! I'd love to know if you use tags in your creations as a focal point.

Marigold Studio | "Smile- Today is Your Day!" Birthday Card

My card today reminds me of soft hues, spring and the wispy colors of flower fields in the country side. This is a mix of things that makes me happy and glad to be alive! I started by coloring the coffee cup with pink hearts on watercolor paper, arranging it on a chipboard tag that is sort of old rose in color and decorating it with glitter hearts, a wreath die cut, and a ticket tag that I stamped in brown ink. 

I added a soft blue patterned paper with a hatch design, cut with the Avery Elle pinked edges die, and then to add interest and texture I added a mat with a stitching detail of creme textured paper behind it.

To tie it all together, I added a soft floral pattern and added the stitched detail to it as well. The Birthday Wishes sentiment is from WPlus9 and so is the banner die. A few silver sequins provided just enough bling that was needed to perk it up! 

I finished the inside of the card with a soft pink paper that I stamped with the Hero Arts background stamp, added a stamped sentiment from Hero Arts Stamp, and a couple of trims of patterned paper at the bottom.

Hope you liked my card. Thanks for visiting with me today!
