Hello!
I hope everyone enjoyed a great Easter! We had a wonderful weekend together and thought it was quiet it was nice and relaxed! Caleb flew his first airplane on the weekend! I was so excited and nervous and then proud all at the same time! He had some help from Daddy but it was still done a lot on his own! Can you believe that?! Pictures and a link to the video are below! I'm one proud mama!!!
Today's card is a birthday card for my Mama! Her birthday is on Monday but I had to get it into the mail today so she'd get it on time. I saw the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge sketch and knew that I could use it to make the perfect card for my mom! My mom makes the most awesome cards...it's hard to make something for her because her's are always so thoughtful and personal! My mom LOVES strawberries!
I wanted to do a punch art strawberry but when doing research discovered that I didn't have all of the required punches so I had to improvise and since I am doing the CCMC challenge I needed to keep it SUO! The strawberry body is a full heart punch embossed with the perfect polka dot embossing folder. The leaves are one of the flowers from the Secret Garden Framelits. The stem is from the 2-step bird punch and the flowers are from the Boho Blossoms Punch!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Real Red, Gumball Green
Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Real Red
Other: 2 3/8: Scalloped Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Full Heart Punch, Secret Garden Framelits, 2-Step Bird Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Real Red Satin Ribbon, Brights Brads, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals.
