Mother's Day Paper Corsage

Hi there!  Well, I'm sure you are wondering where I have been? Maybe not? LOL  Well, life has kept me busy and so my blog has fallen behind but I am here today!  I wanted to share with you a few photos one of which is a terrible photo but still sharing it with you.  Bad photos do happen right, ha!

So, today I am sharing with you the fun and easy paper corsage that I created with Rhonna's new kit found HERE.  I simply printed out the files on paper on my home computer and put these together very quickly!  I used a kraft card that I had and simply cut a slit in the front so that I could add the paper corsage to the front.  This then made my project a card and a paper corsage, fun huh!

I would like to mention that I punched out a circle with heavy card stock to adhere to the back of the doily first. This gave me a solid base to work off of for the ribbons and it also kept them from showing throughout the think doily. Then once I laid out the paper ribbons as I liked them I stapled them together then used adhesive to glue the ribbons to the card stock.  I then covered that with another circle for stability and so that I could add the pin or clip as shown.

And here is another ribbon I created with the same kit.

And here is the TERRIBLE BLURRY photo that I was too lazy to re-take a photo of once I started writing my blog post. Sorry but it gives you an idea of an easy and cute card you can create with Rhonna's freebie with purchase kit.

Well, that is it for today! Thanks for stopping in and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

Kit used in today's post is

A card for MOM

Wanted to share a few cards that I created last night using the freebies found at Rhonna Farrer's Blog HERE.  I used both of the freebies, when using the banner freebie I simply cut out some of the banners and made them into strips.  Also, some of the cards have the cute round pieces found on the banner freebie. I simply reduced them to a size I wanted then hit the print button did some cutting and inking and gluing.  I did grab some vintage sewing patterns, ribbon and extra embellishments I had on hand from the line "the girls paperie" by Margie Romney-Aslett.  On a few of them I used a Mother's day stamp and punch from Stampin Up and I think they turned out adorable and so easy to make! 

I don't have kids so I will be celebrating my mom, sister and sister-inlaw this Sunday.  I am actually hosting a luncheon for them, nothing fancy mind you.  The hubby will be grilling burgers and for dessert I plan on having an ice-cream Sundae bar, yum!  I will of course use more of Rhonna's freebies to decorate, I have a banner started already.  I will be sure to post photos hopefully Sunday night.

 Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms!
