I love creating pretty, and heartfelt projects for other people to enjoy, and with Mother’s Day this month, I took this as an opportunity to test out one of the new Fun Folds Cards from the Fun Folds 2 Collection. For this project I chose the Tri Shutter Card and went to work on bringing it to life.
I had some pretty Kaisercraft paper in my stash, which is double sided so it took the ‘pain’ out of selecting a coordinating paper from a rather large collection of patterned paper.
All I had to do after cutting out the base and mats was turn over a few pieces to break up the design, ink them and secure them to get ready for the fun part of adding embellishments!
I have to say the Vintage Frame file is one of my ‘go to’ files and I think it looks gorgeous wherever it’s used and for just about any theme or purpose. It makes a great base for a heartfelt message. Cutting out the oval in the same card stock and raising it up with foam dots adds to the interest of this already three dimensional card. The Happy Mother’s Day was created using one element from the Elegant Layered Frame file and employing the Print And Cut technique.
A card with so many faces has endless embellishment possibilities. This time I chose to keep it simple by adding just a few flowers, a lace bow, and some pearls. I kept the right panel mostly blank to leave room for a handwritten message. Alternatively, you could decorate this panel too and use the back of the card for your message.
Happy Mother’s Day!
