Playing Cards with Friends ala Michele!

 Hello, Friends!

I've come today with a fun "play date" with Michele and I hope you enjoy our fun!  She has honored me with an invitation to be her friend for the month -- but I hope the friendship will last longer - lol.  Michele is actually one of my longest and loudest cheerleaders, and as sweet as can be.  She's set the stipulations of our play date ~

* Flowers

*  Embossing

*  Remembering Mom

This Sunday is Mother's Day so you probably think I'll be making a Mother's Day card, and while I did, it'll be another post.  I decided to make my Mom a Birthday card since her Birthday is at the end of the month.

Here's my card ~

And a close-up of all that glorioius shine from the hot foiling ~

I made two other cards, but this is my FAVE!  After completing the embossing and hot foiling, I added extra color to the flowers and leaves with Copics for some depth but I must admit the colors are not quite true due to the rainy days we've had lately.  These are different colors for me and definitely different for mom, but I know she'll love it 'cause she's my Mom!  I used a few new products, so there's another plus.

Thank you for stopping by and please join me in visiting Michele' to see her beauty -- trust me, her cards all are!

Supplies:

   WRMK - Quilted (pin) embossing folder

   SB - Framed Details plate (NBUS), Happy Birthday plate, GOM 3/22 Glimmer Edge Roses (NBUS)

   MFT - Scalloped Edge die

Hugs,

TK

Thank you, Teachers

 Hello!

Popping in today with a card -- it's Teacher Appreciation Week, and while I want to thank ALL teachers for their work, this one's for our eldest Daughter.  She's a teacher for 2nd grade currently but has Kindergarten in the past.  She's a wonderful "Uplifter", patient and kind, welcoming to all who come through her door.

This one came together pretty easily - an adorable image and a bit of coloring.  I've had this cute stamp since last fall but kept it for this special occasion.  The sentiment also came from a new set, with some new sentiments for my teacher cards.

I'll be sending this card to two challenges - Time Out #212 - Spring (what's not Spring about bunnies, flowers and a new green hedge?) and NBUS #38 for the new products.

 

Supplies:

   AGW - Teacher Bunny (NBUS)

   SSS - Thank You Teacher (NBUS)

   PF - Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die

Thank you for stopping by, and I'll try to be back sooner!

(hint) ...maybe tomorrow?

Have a great week!

Hugs,

TK
