REVISED MOTHER DAY CARD

Have you ever made a card and I liked it.....but in the back of your mind was the nagging feeling that something was just not quite right. Well, as much as I liked my Mother's Day card from my previous post, I never really liked the flower stamped with Not Quite Navy. So today, I decided to make the same card and change it up.....here's the NEW version....

Here's the original......

Leave me a comment and let me know which you like better. Thanks for visiting!!

Until next time....find some time for stamping!!

Mother's Day Card

Today I'm sharing with you a card that we will be making at my upcoming Stamp Club. With Mother's Day just around the corner....it's never too soon to start preparing!

The card's base is Not Quite Navy....which is quickly becoming one of my favorite colors. I just can't seem to pull myself away from the new Mixed Bunch stamp set and coordinating Blossom Punch.....so I just keep using it! The DSP is the ever-beautiful Paisley Petals...this paper is WONDERFUL!!! The little 3/4" circle-punched image is stamped with River Rock topped with a pearl. The sentiment is from last year's SAB set Well Scripted.....I still LOVE that set!!!

This card is made using a flip card fold....the top and bottom flaps open up to reveal the inside. I don't usually show the innards of my card....but it is.....

The "Happy Mother's Day" is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set....another major FAVORITE!...stamped in Not Quite Navy....and the swirl is from the Elements of Style set and is stamped using River Rock.

THANKS for visiting!!!

Until next time....find some time for stamping!!

MY CLUB SWAP CARD

Hi Stampers!! Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Today, I finished making my card that I will be swapping at my monthly stamp club this coming Monday evening. We decided on a spring theme....and since the weather has been so fantastic lately, it seemed just perfect. I decided to make mine a Mother's Day card.....since that is coming up next month.

The card that I chose to do is cased (copied) from another SU demonstrator named Laurie Zoellmer. I found her card posted on Stampin' Connection...which is a demonstrator only website.....and I loved it. I changed the colors....but other than that the card is pretty much the same as hers. Thanks Laurie for such a great card!!!

The base of the card is Lovely Lilac, and the green layer is Kiwi Kiss (I just LOVE that color!!). I stamped the small flowers with Lovely Lilac and the large flower with Elegant Eggplant. The vine and sentiment are stamped with Kiwi Kiss.

The Kiwi Kiss liner is punched with the pinking hearts border punch that is in the Occasions Mini....I didn't care for this punch at first....but now I LOVE it!!! You never can have too many punches :-)

Well...that's it for me today. I will post pictures of all the gals' swaps after our Monday club meeting.

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!!

Blessings..........Cindy
