Tsunamirose Vintage Shop Design Team sketch #15

I am loving her sketches and I am stretching my creativity by making my style work with the "puzzle" of these sketches. I have learned a lot of new placement opportunities, i would have never thought to do. I hope you love it.  I dont work with purple very often, but I couldn't resist this pattern!  Strawberries and butterflies!  So summery and vintage, Oh MY!

Sketch #27



Can you believe it, blogged in time!  Im getting it!  I really had a great time creating this sketch.  I used my initial instead of a sentiment, I have been wanting to use these stamps forever and finally had a chance on this design, making this a note card instead of a greeting card, I would love to have the time to make about 4 of these,  Id love to have a set for myself

 My Pot of Gold did not flow as expected, My cricut was not happy about making this cut, I had to update before getting it cut, I was not happy either, The cut is from Simply Charmed cart, cut twice, I hid the small cuts on my Gypsy, after cutting, I cut the top strait across, added more paper to make it box-like, added some gold pieces, adhered some to the front, and some on back, scored the card stock twice, cut 2 slots in the middle of the spine then turned them inward, where I attached the pot to make it Pop up. I added some Prima flowers, and bling then stamped my sentiments with Martha Stewart letters and Unity Stamps

The finger Prints on the pot were from my 2yr olds greasy Pizza fingers, I think it adds a little sometking LOL, she just thought it was pretty!

Jen's Mother's Day Blog Hop

***WINNER***WINNER***WINNER***

The winner of My blog candy~

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!

If you got here from Debbie, your right on track, If you just dropped in, start at  Jen's or your going to miss out on some beautiful inspiring projects!  We would not want that to happen now would we?

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!
