Pink Flamingos by My Favorite Things!!

Those that know me know that I LOVE Flamingos! I'm a huge flamingo nut! Flamingo paper, flamingo embossing folder, flamingo dies. Yes, DIES, with an S!! As in multiple. Flamingo stamps. Flamingos are, simply put, an obsession!!

For this card I used the Spellbinders Nestabilites circles, the Memory Box stitched circle, Spellbinders border die, MFT Fishtail banner die, and MFT Flamingo die, floral embossing folder and pink gems. 

This was my first Flamingo die. 

Since I purchased this die, I have since bought flamingo dies by Cottage Cutz and Die-versions. More to come using those dies! 

Cascading Mother's Day card

I'm a little behind on posting things to my blog. Okay, perhaps a lot behind. It's only July and Mother's Day was in May. Not too far behind. (Sheepish grin)

I made this card and matching A2 clear card box for a Mother's Day Card class. 

This is my most favorite card I've made to date. I just love it!

Here is a picture of the card in the card box. Snug as a bug in a rug! 

For this card I used an Eggplant colored cardstock for the base and used a coordinating floral paper. Then cut out Cheery Lynn flowers in matching card stock. I punched out leaves with the Marha Stewart punch in 2 different colors of green. I used Bubble gems for the centers of the flowers. 

Here is the card opened up and the card box. 

What better way to say Happy Mother's Day?
