One More Mother’s Day Idea With Mother’s Love
Have I mentioned how much I enjoy the Mother’s Love stamp set? Well, here is another card I made with it that was so much fun to put together:
The stamp set in Photopolymer makes it so easy to look great everytime and add the dash of a watercolor background and you have a beautiful card full of love.
Tips for making this card:
- Use watercolor paper for your white paper on the front! This allows you to create a watercolor wash background by picking up ink with your Aqua Painter and painting the background of your card.
- Let your background dry and THEN stamp your images on top. You can use your standard classic ink pads if you’ve let your background dry for the most part (it doesn’t have to be perfectly dry)
- Stamp the outlines of your flower image in black and then use the stamp for the insides of the flower – coloring with a stampin’ write marker.
- When you stamp your leaf & petals, if they are speckly, use your aqua painter to fill them out.
- Add a few pearls for an elegant touch!
- Don’t forget the inside of your card! Add some ribbon (like this Venetian crochet trim) or matching stamps to finish it out.
It’s a few simple steps for a great impact!
Just a Note
I wanted to take a minute to thank you so much for orders from many of you. But I also have noticed a number of people placing orders and not checking the box to allow your demonstrator to contact you. This means that I can’t send you a thank you card or any other incentive as part of any special offer I may be running.
So when you are checking out, please make sure to check this box so I can send you a note of thanks!
I appreciate your orders and support and want to make sure I can send you something cute as thanks!

A Mother’s Day Card for Friday’s Card Night
I got this Mother’s Love stamp set a while back but have only recently started playing with it. I have to admit, it is a lot of fun and the sketchy line art designs give you a lot of options to play with. Today though, I wanted to share one of the cards we will be doing on Friday for my Crafty Card Night inspired by my friend Julie Davison
Tips for making this card:
- Use the littler stamps in a stamp set to make a coordinating background for your card. Like in this case, I stamped the line art flower head in Strawberry Slush onto the Strawberry Slush card base.
- Photopolymer stamps ROCK for sets where you want to stamp an outline (the big flower next to the sentiment) and an inside filler color (the filler of the leaves and flower petals) because it is SO EASY to see exactly where you are stamping.
- Bonus! Because this stamp set is sketchy line art, if you don’t line things up exactly, it still looks like it was supposed to be this way. I love perfectly imperfect card designs because they take the pressure off!
- Add a little glitz to your card with some glimmer paper and a border punch!
  NOTE – This scalloped edge border punch is retiring and while supplies last! It is such a staple in my craft room that if you don’t have it yet, you totally should grab it before it is gone.
- Don’t forget the inside – this stamp set makes it easy for you by giving you a sentiment to go inside. I just gussied it up by adding some filled in flowers (yes that is a separate stamp then what I used on the outside of the card) along the bottom of my stamped insides.
Seriously, too much fun with this set!
And if you want to come make it with me, don’t forget to RSVP to my class on Friday! We are making 3 fun cards with envelopes and always have a great time.

New Ideas for the New Weekly Deals!
When the new weekly deals were released, I had to laugh because so many of the items on sale are ones that I’ve used in classes and stamp club this month! Check it out:
See the Weekly Deals in the online store
So for example, this last week at Stamp Club, we used both the Mother’s Love stamp set and the Something Borrowed embellishments:
And then a couple weeks ago, we were doing an Embossing Folder Fun technique class and we used the Handheld Stapler and Deco Label Framelits (not the ones on the weekly deal this week) but you could do the same technique with the Label Framelits:
And of course, there are those fabulous Washi Sheets that I’ve been sharing with you as part of my Card Celebrations! Fun with Washi Sheets class:
And if you were interested in registering for this class by mail, I do have the instructions ready and available NOW and will be starting to mail out kits in the next couple days.
So you still have time to sign up or purchase the instructions here.
Get Ready for the Butterfly Thinlits!
Just a reminder that hopefully tomorrow the butterfly thinlits will be back in stock! And see, they go so well with the Something Borrowed Embellishments!

Make Your Own Plaid Paper with Sheer Perfection Vellum
Yesterday I posted my Green Card Challenge – where I challenged you to create a card that only uses greens and neutrals and then link them up for fun and prizes. So, I thought I would play along with my challenge and make something to share as well! So this is my creation:
Everyone is loving the Sheer Perfection Vellum that is one of the free Sale-a-Bration items that was released at the beginning of March. I finally received mine and wanted to play and while this card turned into something totally different than the original plan, I was so excited to discover the idea for making your own plaid with the vellum!
Tips for making this card:
- You can customize your Sheer Perfection vellum by coloring with your Stampin’ Write markers over the parts of the pattern you want colored. In this case, I took some of the striped paper and colored over the slash lines using my Mossy Meadow marker.
- Make your pattern plaid by laying one piece of the striped paper horizontally over the same patterned going vertically. Because they are printed on vellum, you will be able to see through and have both patterns show at the same time!
- How to glue your vellum – with printed vellum like this, use the 2-way glue pen to ink behind the strips. This gives you lots of holding power without showing through!
- When doing a monochromatic card, mix and match your inks and embellishments for different shades of the same color to keep it interesting. Here I used the Mossy Meadow ribbon as a base and then had loopy flourishes of the Pistachio Pudding twine behind my sentiment to pull in the card base color.
- You can also stamp directly onto the vellum. When you stamp on top it gives it a bolder color but you still get subtle bits of the underlying pattern coming through.
Don’t forget, you can only get this Sheer Perfection vellum through the end of the month as part of Sale-a-bration – it’s free with your $50 order!
Your Turn! Join me for my card challenge!
Make a card using only greens and neutrals and post it up HERE. You have until monday 3/23 and for fun I’ll draw someone randomly to get a small prize from my stash here. I can’t wait to see what everyone creates!
