Crazy About Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day so I will keep this one brief!  Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there and especially to my own.  I survive because of my village and my mother and mother in law both are great role models!  I love these peonies - they remind me of my mom (since I stole them from her house and because they are beautiful!)

As for today's project, this is a great way to use your 12 x 12 DSP.  I cut a piece of the Affectionately Yours DSP to 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 and used our Envelope Punch Board to make the envelope.  Inside is a set of Stitched Shapes Framelits for my mother in law!  Shhhh... don't tell!

For the card, I used the cool framelit from Window Box Thinlits (which are not retiring - thank goodness!) on a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 of Very Vanilla.  If you don't like the edge left by the framelit, just turn it over at this point.  Put adhesive all over the back and position the 3 x 3 piece of  the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper behind it.  Isn't that shiny and wonderful????  Add the whole piece to the folded Crumb Cake using adhesive. 

Trim down one of the scraps from the envelope to 4 1/4 x 1.  Add to the front of the card using adhesive.  Take the 4 1/4 x 1 piece of Crumb Cake and make a banner end using the Triple Banner Punch.  Stamp with the Happy Mother's Day saying in Crumb Cake ink.  Then tie off a 8" piece of 1/4 Vanilla Satin Ribbon to the end of the banner and trim using your scissors.

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Affectionately Yours DSP (retired), Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper (retiring)
• Ink: Crumb Cake
• Stamp Set: Crazy About You (retiring)
• Big Shot: Cutting Mats, Magnetic Platform, Window Box Thinlits
• Accessories: Very Vanilla 1/4 Satin Ribbon (retiring), Triple Banner Punch, Adhesive, Dimensionals, Scissors
