Mother’s Day starts the season of gift giving. Here, at House of 3, we are ramping up for a whole season of Creative Gifting!
From Mother’s Day to weddings. Or graduations to teacher appreciation. And don’t forget Father’s Day, birthdays & all sorts of gift occasions! Be watching as we share ideas, new kits & photos to help with that Creative Gifting!
First off! Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday! We just released a bunch of french inspired papers, tags & word art that will give just that right touch to your Mother’s Day card or gifts! Oo La La!
First I printed out my supplies. **that’s the fab thing about these kits!**
________
A. I printed out a bunch of the papers on both sides. Two great things about this
new kit of papers is:
1. There are tons of coordinating papers that look so good together.
and
2. You can print them out as many times as you want!
______
B. I printed out the Colored Tags onto white sticker paper & cut them out.
_________
C. I printed out the Word art & Tag brushes onto clear inkjet acetate & cut out.
__________
D. I printed out photos: some on photo paper & some on the inkjet transparency. oo la la!
_______
Then, I cut the papers, manilla tags & photos the size I needed them for the 7Gypsies ATC holder.
Added photos, tulle, tags & journaling.
Voila! A Mother’s Day gfit from the heart. I just gave it to my mom today, since she’ll be out of town, & she loved it! I *love* Creative Gifting!
Here are some more shots of the project!
The green paper is in the collection.**You can see the detail with the old french text burned into the Medallion print! Love it! ** On the other side of the card, I have a small doily folded in half going off the edges to add some *interest*.

You can see more detail of the French Oo La La papers! I love this blue designer paper! Check out the delicious florals, subtle ledger print & the old French words burned into the background for a subtle effect!

Another one of my fave papers in this collection. It’s super Springy & then in the corner it has these old French labels & words in it. I used Rub ons for a little message on this card.

The “Love” tag is one of the colored Ledger tags printed off on white sticker paper. I cut it out, folded part on one side & continues on the other side. Love these!


The ‘thank you’ is the continuation of that same tag up above. Then, I added some of the other tags onto this manilla tag.

Hope this inspiRes you this weekend as YOU create goodies for the women in YOUR life!
Let’s celebRate! Here’s to Creative Gifting!

I love the ATC Holder idea but I think I am going to the project on the regular photo carousel. My mother has very bad eyes so the ATC size might be a bit hard to read for her…LOL THank you so much for sharing this fabulous gift idea with us. Hope you and the hof3 ladies all of a wonderful Mother’s day.

I am running a little behind with the Mother’s Day gifting. I spent the night in the emergency room with my son and “his ear”. As I was sitting in the er, my daughter called me and said that her oldest son was running a high fever. So, we decided we would just have to celebrate another day. I was so happy to be inspired by the House of 3 as I finally returned back to my laptop. I did manage to make pillow boxes for my daughter and mother. We are celebrating on Wednesday with lunch and presents!!! Happy Mother’s Day to Rhonna, Heidi, and Janet. Hoping your Mother’s Day was a happy one. And, today, I received all of my jewel wall art, so happy, so very happy!!!!
