Mother’s Day 2018

Here is my Mother’s Day card for this year! I made three almost identical cards for the moms. I love making this style of card. It is quite simple to fold up and the z fold adds some nice dimension. This style card is perfect to mail as it folds flat and mine are the standard A2 size. No special envelope needed.

I am entering this card at Paper Garden. They are sponsoring a Mother’s Day card making contest. All of the solid colour paper on my card is from Paper Garden. These photos do not do justice for how beautiful the paper is. The contest is open until May the 10th so you have plenty of time to submit your own design. Here are all the entries for you to get some card making inspiration.

Dad's Day

Are you looking for a last minute card idea for Father's Day? I personally think that manly cards can be clean and simple. For this card, I used cuts from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge and Father's Day - Fan Club available with my Cricut Access subscription. There are only seven cuts on this cartridge but I love them all! Both cartridges are perfect for sports fans, male or female.

I was sent these yummy envelope samples from

They have an amazing selection of beautiful envelopes (and paper) to complete your card creations! (The Paper Garden is based in British Columbia so no duty for us Canadians.)

Happy Mother's Day 2016

I'm happy to say I was chosen to enter a Mother's Day card challenge for the The Paper Garden. They specialize in beautiful papers for special occasions.
I made this card using the cardstock The Paper Garden sent me. This paper is nice and thick! I actually had to change the setting to a heavier paper on my Cricut Explore to cut it.

I wanted to design a garden for my card.

*You know, a paper garden.*

I have never actually made my own cut file for a box card. I started by welding four bits of fencing together and then added score lines for my score pen. The fence cut is from the Cricut cartridge The First Few Years. I then cut out a thin rectangle to hold my flowers in place. This was my first attempt creating a box card from scratch, now, I want to make more with different plants and flowers, a gnome and a garden sign. Maybe, after Mother's Day...
