I made one card and one project this month:
Here is the card I made this month:
This card is a quick one. I cut the leaves out using the Art Philosophy Cartridge and size 5. I cut the apple from the Artbooking Cartridge at size 12 (I thought this size would be huge but a 2 was very small). I cut one of the leaves from the branch and tucked it between the apple and the saying. Add a red gem for bling and this card is complete.
The project is for my dad who was born on Mother's Day!
I used the clear pillow and created a band made from scraps. Cut the piece down to 2" and wrapped the pillow. The other piece is a card background from the Artbooking set which I cut square and tucked under the band. The background for the saying is two brown flowers and two sorbet flowers which I laid out to look like a medallion behind the saying. I wanted to make sure it was masculine and not too flowery, so I used the mustache from one of the other sayings and stamped DAD. To keep the flow I added a black arrow. Filled the pillow with Snicker Bites (these are great treats to fill little boxes, bags or pillows with - right now I have a bunch because I coupon and the sales and coupons made these bags almost free in April!).
Here is a detail shot of the pieces:
