Mother’s Love

I fell in love with the Mother's Love stamp set as soon as I received my Occasions Catalog.  I didn't order it right away because I constantly hear "I don't have a mom, I don't make Mother's Day cards".  I still ordered the stamp set because I love the sketchy, whimsical flowers in this set.  I also love the font and the words in this set.  To me it is not just Mother's Day — yes, it works for that but it is so much more.  Ever see that mom in the grocery store with little ones and you remember what it was like.  A mom's love — whether is be you, your mom, your daughter, a friend or a stranger in a store — a mom's love is like nothing else.
Mom's LoveThe base of this  card is Basic Black.  I added a layer of Strawberry Slush that I used the Large Scallop Thinlit on.  I added a layer of So Saffron and last Whisper White that I stamped the words and the flower outlines on with Mememto Ink.  I colored the flower insides with markers (Pear Pizzazz and Strawberry Slush) and stamp, cleaned and inked again with Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana).

But, don't forget the inside of the card, especially since it's black
Mom's Love InsideI added a layer of Strawberry Slush, So Saffron and last Whisper White that I stamped the inside words and the cute little flower.

Pistachio Pudding Designer Birthday

I love the look of texture on a card.  This card delivers plenty of that.  I received a card like this in a swap at our Leadership Conference back in January.  I loved the layout and use of designer papers.
Circle BirthdayThis card features Pistachio Pudding cardstock and designer paper.  Pistachio Pudding is one of the In Colors that will be leaving very soon.  I used the Stylish Stripes embossing folder on the Whisper White layer.  The designer paper circles are punched out with the 1 3/4" circle punch.  The flower punch is from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack — I love this punch pack.

Your 29 again and I’m only 110 lbs. — Just Kidding!!!

The Just Kidding stamp set is fabulous.  Sometime I think the sarcastic stamp sayings are just mean but I love the sayings in this set.  There are humorous and just plain fun.  The lady in the stamp set has great attitude.
Just KiddingI saw this layout on Pinterest that I thought was great.  I changed the colors — this is Crisp Cantaloupe on of the 2013-2015 In colors that will be retiring in just 2 weeks.  Don't wait for the Retired List to come out on April 21st — order it now so you have it.
The dotted DSP is also retiring — it's the In Color DSP Stack — 12" x 12" sheets of 4 different designs.  I stamped the "lady" on a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Memento ink and colored with markers, then punched out with the 2 1/2" circle punch.  This piece is mounted on a piece of Baked Brown Sugar cardstock (which is also retiring).

The Calypso Coral piece is 2" x 4 1/2" and I used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch to decorate the top edge and then added a piece of Calypso Coral 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon that I tied in a knot.

The outside of the card says Happy 29th Birthday and the inside says From Your 110 lb. Friend — adorable.

This set is a must have and it's only $15.95 — order it now and receive FREE shipping through April 10th.
