Anderson's Treasures Card Gallery

 Here are some Mother's Day Cards and projects that I did not post yet. This posts includes ones I sold, as well as one's for my mom, mother-in-law, and for my dad to give to my Granny Seeton...so if you've seen this first one on Facebook...keep scrolling because I never posted the other ones on Facebook...not yet anyway!!! :)

This card is from SVGCuts digital kit "Cards for Mom" and is called the 3D Flower Card. I didn't think this was going to by my favorite card of the kits...but I'm pretty sure it is!!! :)

This is the inside of the card shown above.

Card and handmade envelope.

The next card was for my dad to give to his mother. He said she kept hugging and kissing the card and said she loves for making her such a pretty card...little secret...I love her too!!! :) I'm just showing the outside on this one...It's pretty much the same as one I posted the other day...just different paper...although it is very similar...it's from the same paper pad...and I used a green flower in with it. anyway...the inside looks the same as the last card like this I posted.

OK...this next card I made for my mom. It is also from an SVGCuts digital kit...this one is from Peony Cottage kit. I had to revise it a little bit...I'll describe that in the caption under the pictures. 

OK...this is the first draft...the way it is suppose to be...with the fence coming out from the card base and the basket of flowers coming of off the fence...the name of the card is "Peony Street Stand-Up Scene Card". The fence was only connected  to the base of the card by 2 tiny pieces of paper that each had a score mark in them. The basket of flowers was connected to the fence pretty well...however it was top heavy and was trying to fall over. So, after folding the card out several times to take pictures and look at it to make sure it was going to hold...the fence came right off...so I just glued the right fence panel to the base of the card and adhered the rest of the fence down to the card base and the basket of flowers down to the fence with pop dots so it still had some sort of dimension to it.

...and this is what it ended up looking like. Mom loved it...so it worked out! :)

This is the inside of the card. Actually...I changed this part too. The cut file came digitally designed to only be just the front...and this pretty little mat on the back of the front of the card was the mat to stamp on and for someone to sign. I couldn't get the card to stand...even before...the front was way too top heavy...and I was especially glad that I added the back to this card after I had to modify the front...because it shure wouldn't have been able to stand up on it's on then! :) I added the back of the card to the front and cut the mat out again to put on it. The back of the front of the card just would not have looked right if I left the matting off...it was designed to cover the backside of the window...without it, it wouldn't have looked right.

Here is the mat with the stamp and room for a note or signature. I just put a small note and signed on the very bottom so when looking at the front of the card...you wouldn't see my note! :)

I also made her this sweet litte gourd birdhouse from the SVGCuts' digital kit Spring Birdhouses. I thought it was adorable...and my mom loved it too. Since it was a gift and not something I was selling...I just made it the way Mary made her example.

Here is the side view...it is actually a container or treat box...whatever you want to put in it. I thought she could put her sweetner packets or maybe some individually wrapped candys or something like that in it. 

This next card and project I made for my Mother-in-Law. This one is another version of the 3D Flower Card shown at the beginning of this post. I loved how the paper I used for the flower petals were glittery and shiny but I didn't have enough of this paper to make another flower...so I took textured purple cardstock and after I embellished it I outlined the embossing design with Stickles, which is an awesome glitter glue. I think it turned out pretty well and I liked it better for her because I'm pretty sure that purple is her favorite color. We had her and my Father-In-Law over for Mother's Day Dinner...(my parents live 6 hours away)...I made Chicken Spaghetti, a Garden Salad, Italian Bread, and for desert I made Banana Pudding...it was all so delicious! :) My FIL said "you know, she saves all her cards, but the cards you make her she keeps in the safety deposit box!" I know that was an exaggeration...but it was still nice to know that she does treasure the cards I  make for her! :) OK...enough about that...lets get to the card! :)

Again...I didn't show the inside of the card because the inside is just like the inside of the first card shown on here.

I also made her this cute lantern...from SVGCuts' Stars & Stripes digital cutting files. My husband's parents have an annual big 4th of July party every year (for 14 years...but they skipped it last year because the city cancelled the fireworks show due to fire hazzards...everyone was so sad) with friends and family and we eat, visit, and watch the fireworks...they live just a block away from the stadium they are shot from. So, when I saw the cute 3D 4th of July digital cutting kits...I knew I had to make her some more decorations for the party! :) I do need to be on the look out for a different LED candle...one that looks more like an actual candle.

This was something I told her that I was going to make her for the big party last year...but when I found out they weren't having it (and knowing she was sad about it...it is a tradition after all) I decided I'd better put it on hold. She says they are planning on it this year...so I went a head and made it and gave it to her on Mother's Day as well.

And here is the back of it...it is double sided. Kyle also had a project for her. She collects Texas Stars and we found a large one that he was going to turn into a clock for her. that was two Christmas' ago...we had everything to make it...he just hadn't gotten around to it. So...he finished it and gave it to her on Mother's Day as well. Apparently I didn't get a picture of it. I'll try to remember to take one next time we are at there house and post it.
