MACM - Simple Mother's Day Card
Hi all!For this week's card, I wanted to create an easy Mother's Day card. Can you believe it's nearly Mother's Day? Whoa. This year is just flying by! I swear it was Christmas yesterday!
Anyway, I used many of the same supplies for this card that I used a couple weeks ago. I wanted to show that you can use the same products but get a different look. :)
Okay, so I'm super tired, but I should go get ready for work... I really need to get to bed at a decent time tonight, especially after staying up late last night to watch my TiVo'd episode of Brothers and Sisters. Anyone else watch it? Hello. I love this show. :)
For all you French manicure fans out there, I found the best colors for a natural manicure. I painted my nails a couple days before I filmed this video, so you can see it in this video. I used Essie Marshmallow
and Mademoiselle. LOVE this combination. :)|

Thank you for the ideas and inspiration.
My latest combo is Sugar Daddy & Mademoiselle - but I was last into In The Bag and Mademoiselle - I change it up lol - one time I was using Starter Wife and Sugar Daddy - I thought that was really appropriate lol
Love the dots and the thickers!! And such cute colors together!

What basic supplies do I need for paper crafts/scrapbooking?
Another great card, Kristina! I teach special needs kids and I have an idea of how I can adapt it so they can put one together for their moms! Thanks!

Great card, as always! Question...
How'd you get the Thickers to NOT stick to the card, on the outsides of the "M"s? Did you leave the backing on them?
Thanks!
Love the card. I like the idea of using my own handwriting on the card.
Love the card. I like the idea of using my own handwriting on the card.
Love this card, as always! I made my mom's day cards in January so I could be ahead in my card making...don't like to rush my cards!
Love your MACM and the music is fab! I also love Brothers and Sisters. Best show on tv! Great card, btw!
Can you please, please, please tape a video of how to paint your own french manicure? I'm seriously lacking in this area! :)
I would never have put those colors together, but they looked terrific. Good job, another lovely and simple card. :)
Wow, how do you keep coming up with all these great ideas? I have 1 question - what do you do for envelopes? Do you make your own with some templet or do you just buy some standard size?
Also, could you make one more card for Teachers Appreciation Week. Thanks.
love your springy mom's card! yes, I also watch Brothers & Sisters! It's getting SO good - can't wait for Rebecca to confront her mom on the news!!!
What a neat way to create a scalloped border - you're a genius! Beautifully simple card - love it!
What a cute and easy card, thanks
I spotted the PTI colors immediately! Very cute card and I love the faux scallops!
Very cute! You always come up with the cutest cards.
So PRETTY! I love the colors!
mademoiselle and marshmallow is good. my favorite for a french is sugar daddy, use it all the time at work. though, don't use marshmallow for the white. we use 'cream puff' by creative nail design. it's more of an opaque white. but mademoiselle and sugar daddy are great for a subtle top color.
anyway.. LOVE that card, i do i do.
Such a SWEET..quick and easy..
Adorable Card!!
Cute way to make scallop edge :)
I've got to give this a try!!
As always..."Thanks for sharing :)
* Beautiful Nails!!!
