Mother's Day Ideas that Warm the Heart
Welcome to the blog this Tuesday! We are going to get you ready for Mother's Day with two breathtaking projects and tutorials. Olga Struk shows us incredible techniques with our G45 Staples and Botanical Tea. Miranda Edney shows a glorious way to use corresponding colors from different collections to make an awe-inspiring set of gifts!
Before we share the Mother's Day fun, we wanted to give a spotlight to our Facebook page! We are loving the projects you're sharing, and wanted to share one that is truly amazing! Lyndsey Jamieson made this great Botanical Tea paper cake with a mini inside. Love this!
Olga is such an amazing designer and this hanging set of hooked tags can be used for a variety of things - keys, jewelry, and more! Follow her step-by-step photos below. All the materials are in the photos and will guide you along!
We love how Olga bends the keys to make these hooks. She said she just used pliers and bent them slowly so they didn't break. A fantastic new idea for our Ornate Key Staples!

I love the fact that those keys are as bendy as they are!

Everything Olga Struk creates is like magic to me. She has an incredible knack for bringing out the specialness of the humblest objects through her eye for subtle, artfully ingenious detail.
Miranda Edney's loving, sweet Mother's Day projects put a smile on my face - what a lucky mother to be so pampered by her daughter :-)
And what a fun idea the cake-album is! Beautiful execution.
