Some Handmade Love for the Mamas in my Life

Mother's Day was just this last weekend

and BF and I went to see our mamas.

And I made them some cool stuff! :-)

Here are the cards I made my mom and BF's mom.

I used:

- cardstock

- scrapbook paper

- heart punch

- decorative scissors

- 3D Zots

This is the one I made for my grandma.

I used more card stock I had in my craft supply stash, 

as well as some buttons and some Martha Stewart cards

I purchased once on clearance.

Now these Zots things are pretty flipping' cool.

I got the 3D ones because I wanted everything popping off of the page.

They were too big for the hearts though so I had to cut them down which was a tad difficult because they were so sticky.

I think I might check and see if they sell smaller ones the next time I go to Michael's.

This card that I made my mom was for sure my fave.

I got my inspiration from here.

Now this beauty I made for BF's mom.

I think it is super cute! 

She's a teacher and it was also Teacher Appreciation week,

so I think a Mod Podged clipboard was pretty appropriate!

Mrs. H. on the back.

I wish a had use for a clipboard so I could make myself one!

And my last project is a yarn wreath made for my awesome mama.

I used:

- a wooden wreath frame from Michael's

- yarn

- felt

- glue gun

- scraps from old t-shirts

I wrapped the frame until it was to my liking and all of the spaces and gaps were filled in.

The two little rosettes on the side I made with t-shirt scraps.

This tutorial was uber helpful. They used sticky-backed felt though, and I just used the regular stuff.

The flower turned out really cool, even though it kind of took a while.

All of that dang hot glue man :-/

But I was happy with how it turned out.

And my mom thought it was really cool!

Here is another awesome tutorial that I followed to make the flower.

I hope you like my little crafty crafts! Cause I sure had fun making them!
