We are having a special MOTHER'S DAY EVENT over at Joy Clair's Blog so make sure you check out lots of other neat ideas for Mother's day cards and more!
As for my card, you can whip this up in just a few minutes. It is great when you don't have a lot of free time to make something for your mom but you want to give her something special.
All you need is a punch or die cut machine to cut out some butterflies in different colored card stock. I used a punch I had from Martha Stewart but you can cut from your Silhouette or Cricut. Just cut out 5 butterflies and set aside.
I used Joy Clair's "Hello Sentiments" stamp set and used the "happy" and the "Mother's Day" stamps to stamp my sentiment at the bottom of the A2 card with black ink. I used my MISTI to get my letters straight.
I glued the butterflies around the message and bent up the wings and I was done. To add more interest, I used a corner rounder to round the corners of my card. That's it!
I hope you give it a try! You can also do this with other die cuts for other holidays: flowers, ghosts, birds, crows, candy corn, pumpkins, snowflakes, ornaments.....you get the idea.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
