Mother's Day is just over two weeks away... have you created or planned something special? For the April Creative Stamping Workshops we created two projects especially for Mum. The first is a Mother's Day card in the same style as the Masculine Birthday Card I shared with you at the start of this month. It's a corner-fold or corner-flip card, which features the absolutely, fabulous Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and coordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies...

ANZAC Day commemorates our brave soldiers killed in war and honouring returned servicemen and women. The date itself marks the anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian troops (known as the ANZACs) on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey in 1915.

For this month's thank you cards I used the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the "HAPPY" from the Celebrations Duo embossing folder set. The colour combination of Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Sweet Sugarplum was inspired by the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper...

Now I have a few left over, but that's okay as these cute gift boxes are for more than just Easter eggs. I wanted to make something to celebrate a friend's recent accomplishment... enter the Mini Egg Carton decorated in black and gold with the Happy Celebrations stamp set and Celebrations Duo embossing folder...

I was so inspired by the card design for the Celebrate New Baby Cards, I used the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the "celebrate" embossing folder from the Celebrations Duo set to create a masculine birthday card for my brother-in-law...

These coordinating products make cards for the boys and men in our lives a cinch with bold, geometric patterns and strong, contrasting colours of Basic Black, Basic Gray, Delightful Dijon Very Vanilla and silver.
