Berry Basket of Ferrero Rocher & Lindor chocolates

As long term followers of my blog will know – my mother is rather partial to a Ferrero Rocher or two!  So I had a plan for a project for my mother’s chocolates for Mothers Day.

So I got my Berry Basket die out – and set to work!

But the plan didn’t work – it looked just as I had envisaged – but it was not fit for function – which is code for … it fell over!! So a plan B was called for – with about 10minutes to go!!

So here it is… a simple Berry Basket full of Ferrero Rochers – and a few Lindor balls too – just for a bit of variety this year!

The decoration on the sides was by using the Rose die cut (from the Artisan Embellishments kit) as a mask – and sponging what I thought was Sahara Sand through – but I had actually used Crumb Cake by mistake!

Add a bit of Sahara Sand Lace Trim – and there you have it – a simple but pretty little basket. Fit for my mum!

Now Plan A will be revisited… as it is so perfect for my mother … maybe for Easter…time will tell!

Painted Petals Wreath Card in Subtles for Happy Mothers Day

Now this is more me! And definitely more my mother… she wouldn’t have been happy with the bright pinks & purples version… so a quick remake was in order… and here it is! And now safely hand delivered!

And the eagle-eyed of you may have spotted.. this is an even larger card – and A4 wide Square – aka 21cm or 8 1/4” Square – though I was in a panic as I suddenly didn’t think I had a large enough envelope – but luckily the panic was quickly over…

SU! Supplies

Stamps – Painted Petals, Hello Life, Crazy About You

Card & Inks – Sahara Sand, Lost Lagoon, Blushing Bride. Whisper White

Framelits – Project Life Cards & Labels

Embellishments – Sahara Sand Lace Trim, Basics Pearls

Last Kissing with Groovy Love card in the series….

Bet you thought it would never end…. the series ends with the simplest card of them all… Just had to show you the wonderful new Sahara Sand Lace trim… love it … just waiting for my second reel to turn up!

I have to laugh at myself though… as the plan was to make about 6-8 cards using Groovy Love… but then Something Lacy & the kissing technique came along… and I think I have ended up making over 20 cards with the hearts….. maybe I am beginning to have a place for hearts in my crafting after all!! And I am pleased to add that my I have some very happy ladies who purchased the Groovy Love set as part of their January class kit (whether for here at home or away at theirs… ) – they now have loads of ideas to create with their new stamp set & punch…. Enjoy!
