Mother's Day Card - Day 1

For several years, I have been making Mother's Day cards and table placeholders for the Long Term Care Unit at the hospital where I work.  Over the next few days I will be sharing with you the Fold Back Pop-up cards that I made for them for Mother's Day this year.

This first card was made using the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper(DSP), a Gorgeous Grape card base and the Pearlescent Specialty Paper.

The butterfly was made by coloring a piece of the Pearlescent Specialty Paper 
using Gorgeous Grape and Misty Moonlight ink.  Once colored, the butterfly was cut out using one of the detailed Brilliant Wings dies and the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine.  The detailed butterfly was then adhered to a solid butterfly that had been cut out using the coordinating solid Brilliant Wings butterfly die and Hydrangea Hill DSP. 

The flowers on the front panel were fussy cut using the Hydrangea Hill DSP.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set.  A Square Vellum Doily was adhered to the inside panel of the card using Multipurpose Liquid glue. The sentiment panel was adhered onto the Square Vellum Doily using Stampin' Dimensionals. 
 
This second card was made using the Dandy Garden DSP along with the Dragonfly Bundle.  The Dragonfly Bundle includes the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating Dragonflies Punch.

The dragonflies on the front panel were cut out using the Dandy Garden DSP and the Dragonflies Punch.  They were adhered onto the card front using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

The dragonfly in the center of the card was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink onto Vellum cardstock and then heat embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. 

All of the dragonflies were colored with Wink of Stella Glitter.

The sentiment for this card is from the Timeless Tulips and Hydrangea Haven stamp sets. The sentiments were stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.

Mother's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to Team Stamp It Groups Mother's Day Blog Hop! Whether you hopped onto my Blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you "hopped" by.

When I saw the Pop-up Vase technique on a card made by Jane Dooley, I knew I had to make it for my Mother's Day card 
and I knew I had to use the Pansy Petals Suite.
The new Pansy Patch stamp set worked great for this card, along with it's Pansy Dies that coordinate with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP). The Pansy Petals Suite will be available to purchase on May 4, 2021 with the launch of the new 2021-2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

The Polished Pink card base is one of the new 2021-2023 In Colors and coordinates beautifully with the Pansy Petals Suite.

The pansies were cut out using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine along with the Pansy Dies and the Pansy Petals DSP.  The leaves and stems were cut out using the Pansy Dies, Soft Sea Foam and Evening Evergreen cardstock.  The Evening Evergreen cardstock is another one of the 2021-2123 In Colors.

The pansies, leaves and stems were all adhered onto the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, except for the larger pansy, it was adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
When you open the card the vase rounds up and the flowers pop out.  When you close the card, the vase flattens out and the card closes flat. The greenery was made using the Forever Flourishing dies, Soft Sea Foam and Evening Evergreen cardstock.  The vase was made using In Good Taste DSP.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Timeless Tulips and the Hydrangea Haven stamp sets.
