Throwback Scrabble Card for Moms

You just never can tell when inspiration will strike...and last night it hit me hard!

I was cranking out projects for not only Mother's Day, but also for Teacher Appreciation Week.  First, let me show you this super-easy, super-cute card I made with the retired Typeset Paper Packet from CTMH.  It has long been a fave of mine for school themed paper crafts--this one just happens to be for Mother's Day.

I have been telling my kiddos for YEARS that MOM, spelled upside down and backwards is WOW.  If you don't get the connection, try it again until your mom is synonymous with all the wow feelings you can muster, lol.  ;)  This is actually called an Asymmetrical Ambigram in our crazy English language--now you REALLY learned something today! 

All the adorable puffy stickers not only make me nostalgic for my 80's style sticker album, but they are also a perfectly simple addition to the scrabble letters that were found in the now retired Footloose Paper Packet.

A strip of teal shimmer trim was REQUIRED as per my design manual.  ;)

I'll be back to share the rest of my inspiration tomorrow!  Don't forget to make the MOM in your life say WOW this weekend!  :)

A Masculine Themed Anniversary Card

I should be working on Father's Day Cards, but I could NOT get this idea out of my head, so I did it anyway, lol.  I used the new ampersand die from MCT and the Cricut Artiste Cartridge Font to make a cute masculine Scrabble themed card for the Designer Challenge at My Creative Time!  :)

I used a small wood grain stamp from the Lollydoodle Card Workshop to create the tiles.  Yep--I sure did check my gameboard to see what the points should be on the different letters, lol.  The ampersand is cut from the red pattern in the Jubilee Paper Packet with my brand new MCT die.

In my haste to get this up I simply forgot to take a picture of the inside of my card!  I used the Love Doily My Acrylix set to stamp, "together forever."  I am thinking about replacing the "for" with a "4" since our scrabble initials actually add up to that!  :)

Thanks for another great challenge to try out my new MCT dies, Emma!  :)
