Happy Birthday, Mom!

Yesterday was my mom's birthday. Since we couldn't go to Chicago and spend it with our grandson, I was able to take the hour and a half drive to visit my mom and dad for my mom's birthday. Here is the card I made for her.


The front of the card is just a standard card. I think it would actually make a nice "normal" card. But, my dad tends to like non-standard cards, and since he would be seeing the one for my mom, I made hers different. This is called a "Tunnel Card." I got the directions a long time ago on SplitCoastStampers. You can find the instructions here.

 Here are a couple pictures of the inside. The rose and vase are from Gina K. I paper-pieced the vase and then colored the rose with Copics. The butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I added pearls for the bodies. The embossing was done with a Cuttlebug border folder.


Also, today there is a new Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week. This week's stamp, available for 50% off, is called Scarecrow and Friend. You can find it on this page. I may use it again before then, but you will see this stamp on my November calendar page. Visit the Repeat Impressions blog, The House That Stamps Built, for the details you need to know to purchase it for this special price.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
