Happy Mother's Day

I'm ready for Mother's Day this year.  In fact, I have all three of the Mother's Day cards I need all ready to go.  There's one for my own Mom, one for my husband's Mom (MIL), and a third one that's for another very special Mom in my life.  All three of them are hand stitched.  Another similarity is that they each have ribbons and trims to adorn them, and Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trims for every single card and project.  If you're not quite yet ready for Mother's Day, Really Reasonable Ribbon can help you get your cards done and looking fabulous.

I used purple cardstock for the base layered with a notebook pattern paper that I stamped using the Typewritten Stamp Set from Creative Worship and cut with the Crimped Frame Dies from The Greetery.  I used those same Frame Dies to cut the inner pieces of purple cardstock.  Half of a white doily was tucked in underneath the papers.

I used the Hoopla Mini Dies and Hoopla Mini Inserts Dies to create the cross-stitch frames.  I painted the frames and pins with ivory acrylic paint.  Inside each frame, you'll see ivory cardstock that I cut with the Aida Cloth Texture Plate Die and I cross-stitched little flowers in each one using DMC floss.  I used pieces of Scor-Tape to secure everything in place.  On each of the little frames, I added a Baker's Twine bow including one tied with Plum Baker's Twine, Lilac Baker's Twine, Solid Purple Baker's Twine and Lemon Baker's Twine.  I topped one with a Purple Miniature Sweetheart Blossom.

I apologize for that last photo; it's super blurry.  Nonetheless, thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'm always delighted to have you visit me and say hello.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this card.  Be sure to stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to check out all their wonderful products and to check out the trims I used on my card today.  Happy crafting.

Blessings,

Karen
