Still another CASE - Happy Mother’s Day

Looking through a Paper Wishes catalogue and came across a card with the sentiment Mom You Taught Me to Fly which I thought was an incredibly lovely sentiment to use on a Mother’s Day card . Printed the sentiment on white cardstock and made the card below. The stamped images are from the Stampin’Up set Great Friend. The card base is Stampin’Up cardstock: Elegant Eggplant. The card is much prettier than it photographed but it’s late in the evening and the lighting is not great. If I don’t give this particular card to my mom for Mother’s Day - it will be one very much the same.

Just putting in a plug for the Stampin’ Up stamp-a-ma-jig. I’ve had this little gadget for well over a year and used it for the first time this week. The stamp-a-ma-jig is a stamp positioner. For perfect alignment of sentiments and images, you can’t lose with this tool. $16.95 and worth every penny. It just became one of the tools I will keep at arm’s length from here on in.

Haven’t had too many takers on this particular challenge - perhaps everyone else uses their magazines - but it’s doing wonders for me. Here’s another cased card from the same magazine: PaperCrafts November/December edition 2009, page 13, Thinking of You card designed by Mercedes Weber. I used the Martha Stewart clear Butterfly stamp, colored my image with Copics and then cut out. Hoping to use some glossy accents later today to really make it pop! Also used the Stampin’Up Inspired by Nature stamp for the grass. Ribbon was picked up in a bin at Michael’s. Punched the moon with a 1-1/4″ circle punch and inked the base of the grass with Stampin Up’s Pumpkin Pie. Have yet to add a sentiment to the front bottom of the card - not sure what I want there just yet. Thanks for looking and have a great Saturday. I’m heading off to babysit Sam. We’ll be spending the night so not sure how that will work out.  Hopefully he sleeps right through the night -  Grammy likes her sleep! You still have another week to get your challenge done - I’m thinking most of you are like me - you just like to look at your magazines!
