I have been visiting my mom for the past week. I brought some of my Stampin’ Up! supplies with me so that I could do some creating. I made this card yesterday for my sister for Mother’s Day. I didn’t think I had a Mother’s Day sentiment in any of the sets that I brought so I was happy when the set Crazy About You had just what I wanted!
I started out with a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using my sponge daubers and the colors Pacific Point and Garden Green, I randomly applied color. Although I starting sponging off of my paper first, I still got some of the circles of color that you see. It doesn’t really matter with this card because that won’t be seen – just the beautiful shades of color.
Using another piece of Whisper White, I cut out two butterflies using the Butterflies Thinlits (in the Occasions catalog) and then stamped my sentiment. I glued this piece to my colored piece using a 2 way glue pen so that I could really get glue around the outline of the butterflies. I cut two more butterflies out of Pacific Point and adhered them to the card with pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of each one. The rhinestones added a nice amount of sparkle.
I forgot to bring envelopes with me so I left the top butterfly as is. If I had needed to send the card, I would have trimmed it off but I think it looks nice “flying” off the card.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

I sat down at my craft table to create a project with our Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bags and I saw a flower sitting on my desk that I made months ago. I tried using it to create a card many times but it just never worked for me but I think it looks pretty cute, front and center on my bag. The bag is big enough that lots of different treats would fit inside. This is a very quick project to make and who wouldn’t enjoy a little surprise like this to start off their day?
As I mentioned, I used the Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bags (#135503). These are currently on the Retired List as I write this and they are discounted. The bags are 5″ x 8-1/4″ and come 10 to a package. Normally they are $3.95 but they are 50% off and just $1.98! The Chevron Tag a Bag Gift Bags (#131370) are also on the retiring list and they are discounted 40%. I will post both in my product list but please note that the sales price is not reflected on this list.
Are you wondering how I made the flower? I used the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle punch and did some folding! I will either make a picture tutorial or a video in the next few days and show you how I did it!
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the flower to the doily and tucked the sentiment behind. I went back and forth about whether to attach the doily to the bag but in the end I decided not to and used a clothespin to keep the bag closed.
All accessories on the retired list (which includes the bags in this project) are while supplies last. All stamp sets will be available until May 26th! Here’s the updated lists!
