Mother's Day

 


At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.



One of the most fabulous things about being in this Creative Team is that we have free rein to make anything we want to using the sets in the shop. This is amazing for inspiring creativity as there are so many amazing packs to play with. I feel very, very lucky to be able to have this opportunity.



I am very late blogging this as we had Mother's day in the UK a few weeks ago.

I made this card for my Mother in Law. I try to make completely different cards for her every year on both Birthday and Mother's Day. It can be a real struggle to make something different each time and I was inspired to make this card having seen an example of this type of fold in a card making group on Facebook. I thought I would try to recreate at.


My focal point is the flower jug from the Tea Party Doodles kit. I chose the papers to compliment the colours in the image.

I used glitter card for the base layer and added floral papers which were a magazine freebie many many years ago.

The image was sized to 10cm high, fussy cut and mounted onto 3d foam pads. The sentiment was printed off my computer, cut using a die and then matted using the same papers.



The inside of the card opened out is how it is intended to be displayed. I created my first test run with paper to get my sizing right and I am so glad I did as it was such a help.

I added the papers to the back section first. Cut a heart out from the pop out section using a Sizzix nesting die and then stuck the 2 pieces of card together. Cutting the plain green was one of the most awkward parts as I dit the heart first and then trimmed the side afterward to make sure it fit properly.

After adding the patterned paper to the side sections it was time to decorate.
I used the flower jug again and lots of butterflies. Finally the dangling heart was a sentiment I printed off my computer twice, cut out white card hearts and sandwiched the twine between both layers.

I saw Mom earlier today and she still has this card on display. The beauty of it being that the main inside if the card does not specifically mean it can only be on display for Mother's Day.

Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.

Signs of Spring

 



Every month at Kate Hadfield Designs we have a completely free scrapbook template you can download. I have used this great layout to create a digital page to celebrate the onset of Spring

Pop over to Kate Hadfield Designs Blog and you will find Framed in the Free Templates section

For the base layer I used my goto paper pack Painted Pretties. I used the blue and green one and selected part of the page to represent sky and grass.


I added a continuous border at the bottom using the daisy from Springtime Tapes. By carefully placing several together they can join together seamlessly.


I added the Mommy sheep and the little lamb from the Nativity set. I love the cute lamb and can't wait to see some in the field at the top of our road. I am very lucky that we live only 6 miles away from Birmingham city centre but we have many farm fields within walking distance of our house.


I used many of the elements from both Springity Spring and Signs of Spring. It is so much fun to combine your favourites from these sets ans they always go so well together.
