For Mom!

Hi everyone!  Sunday is Mother’s Day — do you have your cards made yet?  If not, here’s a super quick idea using the colors for Kristina’s Color Challenge #51! Here are the colors — aren’t they just perfecto for Mother’s Day?

And, here’s my card!  I wanted to keep it simple so that the colors would shine, but I tried to add little details so that it wouldn’t be boring.

Here’s a closeup of the details — the card base is white-on-white embossed with Hero Art’s new DesignBlock Designer Woodgrain — yum!  Love that stamp!  I used it on the birdhouse too.  Speaking of the birdhouse, love how the door opens on the house — and how the wing on the bird lifts up — FUN!  Also poked some holes around the edges with a heavy duty needle + sewed a place for the birdhouse to hang.

Here’s a peek at the inside — one cool thing about die cuts is that you can easily make reverse images — like the birds

This card is for my MIL Dotty — BIG hugs Mom!  You really are special. Love you tons!  AND!  I’m lucky enough to have a MIL that is also a stamper — we have so much fun together!  Check out her blog HERE — she just started it and I know she’d love to get comments.  :)

Happy Mother’s Day from Jason and I!
