love you MOM

This week is all about MOM as we pull out all the stops to create some super fun designs worthy of all of the love, care, and encouragement that moms give. Today’s card is a combination of products that might be akin to the kitchen sink. *haha* But our biggest stars of the show are the Country Woods bundle (hurry, it’s on Last Chance in the shop!) and the new Notes & Totes bundle, along with two new paper packs called Florals in Bloom and Flower Garden foils. Together, they build this cute little scene you might find on the front porch next to the porch swing.

I love this color palette of soft blue hues. We get started with a very neutral base of Basic White cardstock. We turn to the Florals in Bloom papers for our backdrop which we cut using the largest Textured Notes die. And then we follow it with a sheet of the Flower Garden foil and cut it with the next Textured Notes die. I love how the foil is just a tick darker than the striped pattern sheet underneath and how the cross-hatch pattern of the foil plays so well off the stripes below. I adhered the two layers together with dimensionals.

Next up, we work on our focal images. The stool and water jug are stamped onto sheets of the Country Woods woodgrain papers using the Country Flowers set and then diecut with their coordinating dies. The smaller flowers are cut from the Florals in Bloom paper using the coordinating Sweet Blooms die. I layered the stool and jug of flowers using varying layers of dimensionals on focal panel background. I used the scarf die from the Notes & Totes setto cut a gold accent ribbon for the water jug of flowers. I made a smaller handbag using the Notes & Totes bundle. I stamped the hibiscus pattern onto Pretty Peacock and then used the pocket die to cut it out. For the flap, I used the pocket die and cut just the top portion out of the Pretty Peacock Season of Elegance foiled paper. I fussy cut to clean it up and then adhered to the stamped layer. I cut the latch and handle from Crumb Cake cardstock, again using the Notes & Totes set, and adhered with glue dots. The purse is affixed next to the flowers with dimensionals.

The sentiment combines two stamps from the She’s the Greatest set and are stamped in Balmy Blue on white cardstock. I fussy cut the letters of MOM and then diecut a banner for love you using the Nested Essentials small banner die. I loved the look of them in the top corner and affixed them with dimensionals. I added adhesive hearts to finish of the sentiment and a few of the new In Color flat pearls around the flowers for a little touch of shine.

We’ll be closing out our series tomorrow with the last little bit of Mother’s Day inspiration. I hope you’ll drop by!
