Mother's Day Card and Announcement

Hey guys! How are you all doing? I hope you're having a great day. I wanted to share a quick announcement with you today. In this video, I'll be making a Mother's Day card for my mom. I know she's probably watching this, and I hope it doesn't spoil the surprise. But hey, I just couldn't resist sharing it with you all. Plus, I have some other surprises in store for my mom, so don't worry, there's more to come!

Mother's Day Sale on Etsy

Before we dive into making the card, I wanted to let you know about a special sale I have going on right now on my Etsy shop. Starting today until Mother's Day, all my digital downloads are 30% off!

Accordion Fold-out Giveaway

Now, let's talk about the giveaway. The lucky winner will receive my beautifully crafted accordion fold-out. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a stunning piece that I made during the Mixed Media Mania hop. The giveaway for the hop has already ended, but fear not, because you still have a chance to win it through this sale. All you need to do is make a purchase during the sale week, and you'll be entered into the giveaway. So, don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity!

Details of the Mother's Day Card Set

Alright, now let's focus on the Mother's Day card itself. I've created a set of six journal cards specifically for this occasion. Each of these cards is a separate file, measuring four by three inches. They feature beautiful patterns made from my own doodles, which you can find in my digi stamp sets. While the theme is Mother's Day, these cards can be used for any occasion. After all, who doesn't love some extra love and appreciation?

Printing on Different Types of Paper

To make the card even more special, I decided to experiment with different types of paper for printing. I printed the cards on heavy vellum and canvas paper. The vellum gives a delicate and translucent look to the designs, while the canvas paper adds texture and depth. I was initially worried about printing on these unconventional papers, but it turned out just fine. So, if you're feeling adventurous, give it a try!

Using Doodles in the Mother's Day Card

As you already know, I love incorporating my own artwork into my journals and cards. That's why I couldn't resist adding some of my doodles to the Mother's Day card. I printed and cut out some of the doodles from my digital stamp sets, as well as some from my previous sets. These little doodles add a personal touch and make the card truly unique.

Importance of Tracing Paper and Vellum

While creating the card, I discovered the magic of tracing paper and vellum. Tracing paper allows the background to show through, giving a subtle and ethereal effect. On the other hand, vellum adds a touch of elegance with its smooth and translucent surface. I have fallen in love with these materials and I'm sure you'll find them equally captivating for your own creative projects.

Using Tissue Paper for Collage

In addition to tracing paper and vellum, I also want to mention my long-standing love for tissue paper in collage. I often use tissue paper for its versatility and ability to blend seamlessly into the background. The patterns and colors of tissue paper can add depth and dimension to any collage project. Trust me, it's a game-changer!

Conclusion

Well, that wraps up the making of my Mother's Day card and the exciting announcement of the sale and giveaway on my Etsy shop. I hope you found some inspiration in this video and article to create your own special cards for your loved ones. Remember, it's not just about the card itself, but the thought and effort behind it that truly matters. So, let's spread some love and appreciation this Mother's Day!
