My mom and step-dad's anniversary is coming up in almost two weeks. The Everyday Button Bits set from Papertrey Ink has a cute sentiment, "all things grow with love", so I decided to use that with the flower stem stamp in that set for their anniversary card.
I'm still playing a bit with my Floral Fusion exclusive Papertrey Ink set I got at the CHA Craft Supershow last weekend. :-) Well, technically, I'm playing with all my PTI acquisitions.
Here's my second Mother's Day card to share with you. Monday's was for my mom; today's is for my husband's mom. I pulled out my Papertrey Ink Women of Life set, plus the Tags for Spring set. (Can you tell I'm a little obsessed with PTI?)
After I stamped the flowers, I thought glitter centers would be nice, so I used my glue stamp pad and added some glitter. It's my first time doing that, so I'm sure I did something wrong because the glitter didn't completely stay on. I mean, if you didn't touch it, it was fine. But if, say, your husband ran his finger across one of the centers, oddly some glitter came off. :-) But at Michaels on Sunday, I saw Glossy Accents and immediately thought it would make a great sealer for the centers, and it did!
Supplies:
Paper: random card blank; DCVW green textured cardstock; Making Memories Chloe patterned paper
Ink: Memento, Palette Stamp & Stick Glue Pad
Tools: Cuttlebug, Nestabilities rectangle and circle sets; Fiskars circle punch
Etc: Lace (Joann); Glossy Accents; Prima flower; unknown heart rhinestone
Well I'm hoping my mom doesn't read my blog, or that she can at least follow directions (per the title). I had fun making this one, and it sort of evolved. I knew the stamp set I wanted to use. Heck, I bought the stamp set specifically for Mother's Day. I just wasn't sure how I was going to use it, and ths is the result.
