Purple Flower Card

Hey all,

There is a sub at my work that has been working in our kitchen getting breakfast and lunch ready for us. She is a wonderful lady. She is leaving us because they have hired a person for the position. My co-workers and I wanted to thank her for all her work.

I made her this thank you card:

To make this card, I cut a 5.5 inch by 4.25 inch dark purple rectangle to cover the front of a pre-made base, a 5.25 inch by 4 inch light purple rectangle, and a 1.5 inch by 4 inch dark purple strip. I cut out the light purple circle and dark purple scalloped flower with my Silhouette Cameo. I embossed the light purple rectangle with a flower embossing folder I have. I attached the dark purple rectangle to the base card, the embossed light purple rectangle on top of that, added the dark purple strip near the bottom, and put a strip of decorative tape in the middle of the dark purple strip. I stamped thank you onto the circle and glued that onto the scalloped flower. I attached that to the right side of the strip.

I left the inside of the card blank so people had plenty of space to write in it.

I am entering these challenges:

Have a good day!

Tea Cup Flower Card

Hey everyone,

Today is Mother's Day so I made two of the same card with some variations on color and flower. One for my mom and one for my boyfriend's mom.

Here's the front of the cards:

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out all the pieces including the card bases. Then I attached the pieces with tape/glue.

Here's a closer picture of each card:

My boyfriend's mom said she likes pink and white as well as daisy's.

My mom likes blue and red and didn't have a favorite flower.

For the inside:

I added a ribbon to "tie" the flowers together and a square that says "Happy Mother's Day!" written with my Silhouette Sketch pens.

Flower Heart Card

Good Evening,

I have two friends from college that are getting married in a week. I thought a card with hearts would be nice. This is the card I decided to make:

I embossed the background with a balloon heart like embossing folder. I stenciled on a heart to use as a guideline for the punched out flowers. I punched out flowers in dark blue, light blue, dark purple, and light purple. I chose these colors because they are my friends favorite colors. I glued the flowers onto the heart guideline in a color pattern. I used gold stickles in the center of each flower.

Next, I stamped a frame and the word "Congratulations" into the frame. Finally, I added some decorative tape along the bottom of the card.

For the inside:

I used a simple stamp saying "Wishing you a special happiness on this special day."

I will be entering these challenges with this card:
