An Open Heart for Mother’s Day
- Stamping on designer paper is one of my favorite looks. I’ve used the Farmers Market Designer Series Paper here. This packet surprises me all the time. At first look, all you see is fruit and vegetables, but the flip side are some of the nicest neutral papers! This paper pack is also due to be retired.
- I doubt that there’s a bird that is colored this way in “real life” but of course as stampers, we have to match our cardstock theme, right?! I’m also honoring our retiring In Colors – Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon and Mossy Meadow (used as the thin border behind the designer paper). Watercolor paper is definitely the choice to feature this pretty bird and watercoloring with the Aqua Painter and stamp pads. Circle Framelits create the backdrop; another retiring product!
- Also retiring are the Antique Brads – I’ve loved working with these pretty accents!
- As I created this card, a robin is building her nest right outside my window, busy carrying all sorts of plant material and tucking it in place. It reminded me of the Linen Thread tied around my card – the perfect texture for a natural look.
- I swear I won’t every be able to get rid of my Envelope Liner Framelits, even though they’re retiring. They give such a perfectly coordinated card and really hits it home on the creativity. Be sure to pick up yours if you don’t already own them – they are truly a “must have” for all of your cards!

Mother’s Day and Mother’s Love
Mother’s Day is just around the corner – a few short days away – but we celebrated Mother’s Day last Saturday night by going out to dinner with our whole family to one of our favorite restaurants. I made this card for my lovely daughter and daughter-in-law, and while each mom has her own “style”, both of them are the best moms to my beautiful grandchildren!
- The 2014 Annual Catalog is nearing an end, and with it goes all of our gorgeous Stampin’ Up! designer series paper, like this one called Flowerpot. I’ll see if I can use a bit up and show you more things to do with your scraps before the end of the catalog on June 2nd!
- You know how I like circles – I think I use them on just about every card! And this one is all about circles cut with the Circles Framelits and the Big Shot. Stampin’ Up! does all the work for us by giving us beautifully coordinated pieces. All you need to do is cut a bunch of different sizes and arrange them artfully on your cardstock. The top left circle is simply Not Quite Navy cardstock run through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder just to give it another look.
- Don’t forget to use lots of Dimensionals – the different heights are essential to make this card really interesting!
- “Best mother ever” comes from And Many More stamp set – a great staple with 23 greeting stamps for all occasions.
- Make the sweet flower accent using the Flower Frenzy Bigz Die and the Big Shot. This die is retiring and available only while supplies last AND it’s 50% off!!!! Price is marked down from $37.95 to $18.98!!!
- And Stampin’ Up! always has just the right accent! A Garden Green Candy Dot from the Regals Collection is all you need to set off this pretty flower.
- Don’t forget to line your envelope with this pretty paper – the Envelope Liner Framelits and the Big Shot make it so quick and easy!
