Kathy who said~

Beautiful card and gift! My mother has given me lots of "advice" over the years, and is great about being there to listen and not be too pushy with her opinions. She always tells me to be sure to take care of myself so that I'll be there to take care of my kids. This is something that I often forget to do.
Thanks for sharing!

Blog candy Question:  What is the best advise you have been given from your Mother or person of equal stature in your lifetime?
Cut down your butterfly paper to as close to the shape and size of your card as possible without going over.
Cut contact paper to close to the size and sit your butterfly lace paper on it covering pearly side w the sticky side. press down to make flush all over, add it to your card before scoring.
use your bone folder to press it all down firmly.  Use your  paper trimmer to clean up the edges. The contact paper will not stick through the holes if it bothers you (it did me)  you are going to have to go over them all with your bone folder, like using a Xyron.  I attached my ribbon used my glue pin on the letters,and added the glitter, pop dotted them and added the rest of the embellishments!

So today I gave My Mother, this card and candle set along with the kitchen min ialbum. She almost cried!  Im so glad she loved them!
