There were 3 designs from the Dotty For You paper pack that I haven't had a chance to use yet.  On Sunday. I pulled one of those designs to make this card.  I love the design on this paper because it is from one of my favorite stamp sets - Card Word Puzzle (C1494).  The papers in the Dotty For You pack were hand designed by Close To My Heart's artists.  This particular piece was designed using the flower from the Card Word Puzzle stamp.   I used the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge sketch for this card! The only stamping I did on this card was the sentiment! The  Card Word Puzzle  stamp has a variety of words  that you can put together create your own personal sentiment.   I sponged Lagoon ink onto the  Color Ready Seam Binding  Ribbon (Z1732)  so that it would perfectly match my card!   Since this is a Birthday card I'm entering it into Crazy 4 Challenges this week.  They are looking for Birthday Cards...

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers! I am so thankful for my mom.  She has always been there for me.  She supports everything I do and always encourages me when I'm down. I made a special Mother's Day card for my mom.   She loves to work in her yard (which is BEAUTIFUL BTW) and she loves birds.  I thought that the colors of Buttercup and Juniper, along with the bird made the perfect card for my mom. I used dotted Buttercup paper from the special Dotty For You paper pack.  (This special ends May 31st!)  The bird and vine were cut with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.   I stamped "Happy" with the Polka Dot Alphabet (D1469) and "Mother's Day" is from a retired set.  The Polka Dot Alphabet stamp is perfect with the dotted paper! I added two resin flowers from the Bouquet Assortment (Z1694). I used the sketch from the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge (#59) and the colors were inspired by a brand new blog challenge - Dynamic Duos ....

Here is one more card with the special Holiday Wishes stamp!   I started this one a few days ago and didn't finish.  I can't remember now why I set it aside.  I sat down tonight to do a few challenges and saw the pieces for this card laying on my table.  All I had to do was put it together and add some finishing touches. I used the sketch from the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge .   She has some really nice sketches on here so I'll be checking this one out every Saturday! I used the Wonderland Level 2 Paper pack with this card.  See the flourish coming out from under the ribbon?  That is actually part of the Christmas Tree stamp from the Holiday Wishes stamp!  The wide ribbon is from the Dark Chocolate Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon (Z1617).  I love this ribbon!  The ribbon tied to the ornament is from the Designer Ribbon - Blue Collection (Z1385).  I stamped the ornament with Twilight Ink and added Prisma Glitter t...
