WISHING ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY A HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

I made this card for Mothers day.  Inside is the sentiment “so he made you.  Now isn’t that perfect for Mama?  Clean and Simple, CAS.

The stamp set is from Flourishing Phrases, page 24 in the AC.  The image is made using the glimmer paper from Myths & Magic, page 37 in the OC.  The dies, Flourish Thinlits, can be found on page 216 of the AC.  I layered the whisper white CS front  with basic black CS over our thick whisper white CS.

This card was created from the set, Fruit Basket, page 29 of the Occasional catalog.  The fruit was stamped and cut out with the matching punches, Itty Bitty Punch pack, same page.  I used the layering Square Framelits, page 214 of the Annual catalog to cut out the bases for the fruit.  The DSP is from the Pick a Pattern, pg 188.

I used Emerald Envy CS for the backing of the sentiment and Squares.  The Glitter enamel Dots, page 196, were used to embellish the sentiment.  The doilies have been retired which I did not realized until I finished the card.  So sorry, I hate when that happens.

Both the set and the punch pack can be purchased through the end of May with a 10% discount and after that, both will be retired.

It is always good to have these cards on hand.  I thought this sentiment could be used for with a sympathy card or a get well card.  The sentiment is from the stamp set, Flourishing Phrases, page 24 of the annual catalog.  The thinlit dies for this set can be found on pg 216, Flourishing Thinlits.  This set has 15 different sentiments with beautiful images.  It is a 2 pack set that is totally awesome.

I used Whisper White CS and the Turquoise Glimmer paper, found on page 37 of the Occasional catalog  In addition, I used the adhesive backed multipurpose sheets, pg 203, AC, to attach the images to the CS.  I colored the Rhinestones with a black sharpie.

I love this stamp set, found on page 27 of the Occasions catalog.  It is another one of those awesome sets that you can bundle and receive 10% discount until the end of May.  Both the set and dies are being carried over to the new catalog in June but they will not be bundled with a discount.  Good time to invest in the set and save some money.

I used the embossing folder, Petal Burst, page 210 in the Annual catalog, for the background on Very Vanilla CS.  The colors I used on the card are Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede.  I used silver foil sheets, pg 194 to die cut the Cross.  My card base is Crumb cake.  Hope you like it!

If you want to make sure you get these dies for this card, you will have to order them by the end of May because they are retiring.  So sad.  Some of my favs.  I used the stamp set Waterfront with this card and it is found on page 48 of the Occasions catalog.

This set is so versatile.  For those of you, like me, living at the coast, the palm trees are especially awesome!  Here I used a fall theme, only because our warm weather was so late getting to us.  However, finally it has arrived, and I hope not to have our temps go below 80 from now until the end of Summer.

I used the DSP, Wood Textures, page 187 in the annual catalog, which by the way is not retiring. Woot, woot!  I used the window sheets, pg 194 and the Glitter enamel dots, pg 196.

On this card, I used the die cuts,Rainbow Builder Framelits dies, page 33 of the Occasion catalog.  You can save 10% right now until the end of May if you combine both the stamp set and the dies.  I used the sentiment from the set, Lift me Up, pg 58.  The background is Soft Sky CS which I am afraid is retiring along with the set and dies.  I also used Wink of Stella, not retiring, pg 200.
