Mother's Day Gift Idea and Card

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mama's out there!

Whether you're currently a Mom, Grandmother, 

have a baby in heaven, adopted your child, or are 

currently preggers....you are all 

Mother's and deserve a day for everyone to just

say, Thank You!

I found the sweet little grey wooden saying

at TJ Maxx and was on the hunt for something

fun to go with it...lavender is such an uplifting 

aroma, a bottle of lotion from Scotland

and a fancy wrapped bar of soap, set the tone

for the purple card. The box smelled divine

once I had everything packaged up as well!

Of course, nothing says Thank you like 

chocolate, I know it's always be appreciated 

by my Mom.

If you have a plethora of stamp supplies and machines,

then you probably know what the Big Shot is. I use mine

pretty much every time I'm in my craft room and love the 

diversity of cutting tools that you can use with the machine.

First I stamped two different stamps on white cardstock

and then using the magnetic platform (amazing!) placed my

framelits die on top of where I wanted to cut. One quick

roll through the machine and perfection, I tell ya! 

The nice thing about Framelits is that they come in

multiple sizes, so you can frame your projects with 

a different color to add more dimension to your projects.

The Big Shot is also capable of using the dry embossing

folders with it but I have the Texture Boutique for just 

those, instead. I placed just the front of my lavender

cardstock inside the folder, rolled it through the machine

and out came this beautiful scrollwork.

A bit of bakers twine, some foam pop dots and 

a thoughtful card for a wonderful Mother!

Happy Mother's Day Mama's!!

 "Behind every good kid is a great Mom!"
