Next Sunday is Mother's Day! Here is a simple card that has clean and crisp lines…but more importantly – it is a card that could be adapted to many…many themes! I'll do my best to walk you through it step by step…but I encourage you to think if the different Framelits and Stamp you have to CASE away!
This card is a great example of how “this formula” will work in other ways for you…it’s kinda like the post I did on Monday – click here to see it and (I was SUPER DUPER happy that I had several people try the sketch I used) Woot-Woot to you…
It’s like getting your “Training Wheels” off…the more you “practice”…
the more that you will learn a style that YOU are comfortable with!
Let’s get going…
- White Whisper A-2 card and then the Rose Red is 5 ¼” X 4” and then the “top” layer of white is 5” X 3 ¾”
- Adhere the Rose Red to the card base and then take this top layer and using the #4 square framelit….center it and run it through the Big Shot (this is where the magnetic platform is a HUGE help)…love that tool!
- If you are going to “stitch” around like I did – I would do it now….(I didn’t decide to do it until I had the card together and it was a bit shaky with the dimensionals)
- For the “piece of white” that you are going to stamp…I actually cut this to a 2 1/8” square are the smaller square in the framelits was a 2” one and I needed a bit more room!
- The Happy Mother’s Day stamp is from the April Paper Pumpkin Kit…..please click here and you will see a super cute post that I did with this…This can be used for sooooo much more than Mother’s Day and the Photopolymer Stamps that are in there are super for other projects!
SPECIAL OFFER for you!!! – If you would like one of these April Kits…I will send it your way and you will definitely have it in time for next Sunday PLUS I will make you one of these cards!!! Woot-woot!!!!
The kits are $20.00…every month I order more of these to keep on hand as I adore this program and I want to offer it so you too can see the value!
- The Petite Petals Stamp Set and Punch with the floral steal of the show! I learned a lesson…I thought that they were a bundle…well right now they are a bundle in the Occasions Catalog…and they will be carried over but guess what – They will NOT be a bundle then!
TIP ALERT: The moral of the above is…when you see it as a bundle – take advantage of it as you will get an instant 15% off…there is no guarantee that it will always be a bundle!
You know that I love the side views…this will show you how I popped it up…do not skimp on the dimensionals…especially with the "cut out" part…sagging isn't pretty!
- The leaves came from the Bird Builder Punch and to me there are many punches that are "must haves" but when it comes to the specialty punches….I say the 3 that I would not be without are the Bird Builder, the cupcake and the Owl…I use then a bunch for so many things!
- Last…the liner, easy-peasy with the Regals Designer Series Paper Stack! Always a life saver!
Now do you agree with me…isn't the a fun card and when you think about it…an easy card that lends itself to many options!. It has the wow factow but it is still clean and crisp! Love it!
Please email me and let me know if I can send a Paper Pumpkin kit your way along with this beautiful card and envelope! How can you go wrong for just $20.00!

Today’s card is beautiful! I ended up using a “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment from a really old set, but it worked just fine. I thought I had another one, but I guess not.
Which of the new Paper Pumpkin sets has been your favorite? I’m glad they improved the program! I wish they were doing that in Europe!
Have a nice weekend!
Cyberhugs!
What…no Kentucky Derby Day card??? LOL Your card is beautiful! I love this Mother’s Day stamp! The last 2 Paper Pumpkins have been my favorite. Can’t wait to see what this month MPP brings. 🙂
Beautiful card, Susan.
Another gorgeous card to copy! My mom would have loved this one. She was all about the flowers! Sure wish my petite flower punch would get here, I hate when things are back ordered but at least it is not discontinued! I love the colors you chose to work together. This will make a wonderful birthday card. I think my favorite pumpkin kit has been the one with those bags or the Noel one. I think I had better check to see if there is still the refill kit for the bags – right now I am rationing them to only very special occasions. Oh, wouldn’t this card look great on the bag adorned with some of these flowers too?
Have a good weekend. It is Tulip Time festival here and I have an ongoing parade of people walking by and tour groups. I think I will go sit on the porch with some ice tea and a magazine. Wel, maybe after we walk to the stands for lunch. We have a glorious day today!
A perfect card for Mother’s Day. Love the stitching around the sentiment. Thanks for sharing.
Susan this card is so lovely. I agree that you can use this card for many occasions. Thank you for sharing your great talent with all of us. Happy stamping, Ellen Hinds
