If you haven’t got something to give you mum on Mother Day yet, this post will be great for you.
When I was playing around with this stamp, I originally just wanted a small and simple card so that the main focus would be the sentiment. But something just wasn’t working for me, when all of a sudden I had a brilliant idea. Why not create a set telling your mum why you are so ‘lucky’ to have her as a mum. This is what I came up with….
This may look like a card, not that exciting at that. But what you don’t realise, is that this isn’t a card at all, Its an envelope!
This is the envelope from the Carousel Notes on page 131 of the Australian Stampin Up catalogue. I then decorated a piece of card with the coordinating colours and design from the front of the envelope. This is where you can write to your mum telling her how much you love her.
I used the Stamp-A-Ma-jig to duplicate the ‘lucky me’ part of the stamp. You can see a tutorial how to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig HERE. I have used the Curly Label punch to create the scallop/wave border to match the front chipboard piece. The Patterned paper is from the Good Morning Sunshine pack.
The frame around the stamped image is chipboard piece from the ‘On Board Essentials’ pack, which I covered in Chocolate Fine Supernova Glitter. There is no way to really capture just how sparkly this glitter is. I love it!!
Enjoy!
