This is a Mother's Day card that I made for my mother. I really wanted to make something "different" this year, since I have made so many cards for her. I didn't want to do a typical A2 or square card. So, I decided on a card that would fit into a no. 10 envelope. It was not my original intention to put the flowers on it, but after cutting the sentiment, it needed something and evolved from there. I tried cutting several words for the front with my Cricut, but everything kept tearing. But this finally worked!
Here are the details:
Size: 4 x 8 1/2"
Cardstock: Recollections, American Crafts, DCWV (glitter) and Bazzill
Patterned Papers: My Mind's Eye and unknown
Border punch along bottom with threaded lace: EK Success
Border punch at bottom of flowers: EK Success
Flowers: Paper Shapers Retro flower punch, along with a smaller Paper Shapers flower punch (can't remember the name of it) and a glitter gem. The leaves are punched with a Martha Stewart rose leaf punch.
Happy Mother's Day: Martha Stewart Cake Seasonal Cricut cartridge cut at 1 1/4"
Thanks for looking, and for your comments.
