Mother's Day Card Sample #3

Happy Weekend!!  I've got a few more card samples up my sleeve, but the weather is beautiful and my bike is calling, so....I'm headed outdoors for a little while.


I'm sticking with the 5.5" x 4" size card format for now (it really is a very convenient size).  In this example, I've used three 1.5" high strips with three different lengths (4", 4.5" and 5").  You can choose to put a large embellishment on the card or leave as is - it's all up to you!  


Happy Scrapping!!

Mother's Day Card Sample #2

Happy Friday - Here is your second Mother's Day Card Sample!  


These are the size measurements if you'd like to recreate one or more for yourself!  It's a 5.5" x 4" horizontal flap card and the big pink strip on the right hand side is 1.5" x 4".  The three blocks are 1.25" (blue square), 1.5" (polka dot square) and 1.5" x 2" (pink/blue swirl).


Hope you have a great weekend!  Happy Scrapping!

Mother's Day Card Sample #1

Hi!  Hope everyone is having a good week.  I'm trying to get some of the Mother's Day card samples out quickly, since I'll be traveling yet again for work next week!!


This sample is based on a 5.5" x 4" horizontal card and the strips of paper are 1", 2" and .75" high each.  A great way to add some dimension to a card, or layout, is to replace polka dots with brads (look closely and you can see that I did that here).  Happy Scrapping!!
