Mother's Day Card

Hi folks,

Ian here, from A Newbie Crafter.  Today, I have a Mother's Day card for you all.  It may or may not be sitting in my craft room still.  Full disclosure - I have already told my mom it was late so she knows and understands.  :)  I used Dream Pop papers to make this and LOVE it.  I also used a pop-dot on the "Mom" stamp.  I made it into a ribbon.  I thought it was cute.  

Here are some photos to show you what I did.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!  Next year I will hopefully be able to spend it with my mom after 5 years of not being able to.

Craft on,

Father's Day Card

Hi folks,

Today, I have a Father's Day card.  I thought the superhero-themed papers would pair well with this card and I was pleased with the turnout.  I hope you like it or it inspires you to create your own Father's Day card for that special guy in your life.

Here are the pictures!

Although a little early, Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's and Mom's that fill in as Dad out there!

End of the Year/Goodbye Card Series 13 of 13

Hi everyone!

Today, I have another end of the year/goodbye card for one of my RAs.  I'll be posting one card a day on here to show all 13 cards.

I wanted to give my RAs something as a going away gift.  I made a card for each one of them and wrote a small note to each of them.  I hope they all enjoy them.

Here's the thirteenth and last card in the installment.  I discovered and fell in love with Your Next Stamp stamps.  They have a plethora of cute images and I want them all.  Seriously.  Anyway, here are the pictures.  I chose Rock Star Fhinn, for my RA Nathaniel.  Nathaniel was in his 2nd year as a RA and both years was supervised by me.  I had a lot of fun with Nathaniel and it was great getting to know him in his 1x1 meetings with me.  A natural competitor, I was able to learn more about him than a chair-flipping RA (long story).  

I will be honest, I did not write down any of the Copic markers that I used.  This was my first time using them, and as you can tell, I need to take a class.  Here's hoping I can take one this summer!  I also used a sentiment from one of the Stamp of the Months and the Dotty for You paper pack, both from Close To My Heart.
