No One’s Sweeter Than Mom


Good morning friends!  Where would we be without our sweet moms, right?  Are you all set for Mother’s Day?  Yes, it’s that time already and before you know it you’ll be in the crunch to get her something a little special to let her know how you feel about her.  Miracle of miracles, I’m ready.  A big feat since I tend to be a little bit of a “Last Minute Lucy”.  With one of my favorite color palettes I sat down to construct a feminine mothers card using a new set from JustRite Papercrafts called Vintage Rose Medallions.  I started out by creating paper lace using my Spellbinders Edgeabilities – I simply paired Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities and Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts One to create one edge, flipped my work and did the same thing down the other side – it really creates a luscious lace!!  In my stash I had a sweet Prima trim with velvet flowers that fit perfectly down the center.

For the focal point on the card I simply stamped one of the Vintage Rose Medallions directly on my design paper.  Then, I cut a layer with Spellbinders™ Parisian Motifs and made a frame out of that layer by cutting using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Four — I took a couple of lines of pearls and laid them around the frame (easier than I thought it would be!).  After I cut an additional frame using two of Spellbinders Labels Twenty Four – I topped off with the sweet Mothers Day Banner from the Vintage Rose Medallion set.

    Good morning Becca-what a beautiful card this is perfect for that special “MOM”. I like the color combination and the pearls. My Mommy is 97 years young-she is a petite beautiful lady and she still makes homemade flour tortillas. I want to wish you lots of fun on your trip-so proud of you that you are going—ENJOY and safe travels. Take care.ReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisApril 24, 2012 - 11:24 am

    What a study in creativity using the dies from Spellbinders and JustRite. The color combination is exceptional and soft and beautiful. What colors are they? Often times the most difficult part of card making is getting two or three colors to coordinate but not distract. You have gotten so proficient at this; I think this is the number one thing that impresses most of us. We’re learning thanks to you!ReplyCancel

    Lauren,
    I wanted to congratulate you on your great accomplishments. I also wanted to say I’m so proud of you for standing up to make your dreams come true. In honor of your father, you know he is so proud of you, you got what you rightly deserved. I would of done the same thing, being married to a military man who has served and is still serving (33 years) Your father put his life on the line to keep us safe the least they could do is take care of his own.
    I also wanted to say you have also been blessed with a wonderful mom who loves the Lord with all her heart. She won’t know this but I went to her site daily when my husband was deployed to Iraq and she inspired me everyday. That is one women I would love to someday meet.
    I know the Lord has many blessings in store for you and your life. He will keep you in the palm of His hand.

    Blessings to you!!!
