Mami's Mother's Day Card

Hello crafty friends,

I hope everyone had a nice Mother's day weekend.  We took both my Mom and my Mother-In-Law to the casino, which they both love and dinner.  We all had a very nice time.

I can't show you the card I made for my Mother-In-Law (yet), but I can show the card I made for my Mom:

I used the Christmas bear with snowman digital stamp from JustMEdigitalstamps for my main element... but i had to tweak him a little, because he was holding a snowman.  I printed him twice, and cut his head off just under the scarf, which I paper pieced w/the same pattern paper as the background.  I added roses from the Clearly Besotted Miniature Floral Collection stamp set to cover the snowman his was holding.   He's has dimension, because I raised parts of him.

and even the card's envelope got a little flower treatment :)

Thanks for stopping bye to check out my card.  Until next time... take care.

Welcome Die-Versions Friends!

Dear Die-Versions Fans,

In honor of National Scrapbook Day and Mother's Day we on the Die-Versions Design Team have come up with a fun Blog Hop and Card Challenge.  The Mother's Day Card Challenge will begin on May 5th and run thru May 11th and the winners will be announced on the Die-Versions Blog on May 15th. 

The Design Team will be picking 5 winners from the Mother's Day Card Challenge.  The theme for this Challenge is to make a Mother's Day Card.  To be eligible to be one of the 5 Lucky winners you have to comply with the following:

*  Your card must be newly created and PLEASE, no back linking

*  Please be a follower of the Die-Versions' blog along with the Design Team Members Blogs (listed below)

*  You need to leave a comment on the Die-Versions' blog and each of the Design Team Members blogs (listed below)

*  You must link your Mother's Day card with the inlinkz link on the Die-Versions' blog  

*  We would love it if you used a Die-Versions die in your card, but that is not mandatory!

I love the Whispers - Vase of Roses die, so for this card I die cut it twice, so that I would have green leafs and red flowers. I cut the red flowers and glued them over their green counterparts.   

I created my scalloped opening by die cutting the Whispers - Daisy Chain Scallop die from my background pattern paper.  The mom die cut comes from the Sweet Spot #1 Mom die.  

Here's a close up of the card:
   


For my second card I used the beautiful font called Magical to spell MOM and framed it with the lovely Daisy Frame.
