Stampin' Up! Mother's Day Card

Today's cards include some of my favorite products that are on the Last-Chance Product list -- Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. I'm going to be so sad to see these items retire. But you can still order them as long as supplies remain. Make sure you look through the Last-Chance Product Lists and order your favorites before they are gone. You'll love having Petal Promenade on had to create Spring cards you'll need for so many occasions.

The basecard for today's card is Petal Pink. Then a layer of the Grapefruit Grove. Then a piece of Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. And then one of the laser-cut designs from the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper. These papers are white on one side and vanilla on the other side. I used the vanilla side for these cards.

I stamped the Happy Mother's Day sentiment from Just Because Stamp Set in Flirty Flamingo on a label cut using the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies, which have already sold out. Hint: I cut the Happy Mother's Day sentiment apart from the image in the Just Because Stamp Set to make it easier to use just the Sentiment. Don't wait if you want something on the Last-Chance Products list. If it's something you want, order it sooner rather than risk it selling out. I did another version of this card using a sentiment label from the Petal & More Thinlits Dies set, which is also on the Last Chance list, but it's still still available as of this post. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set, and it is stamped on on the Very Vanilla label in Flirty Flamingo.

The bow is Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon, tied in a double bow and attached to the top of the card. On the second version of the card, I die cut a Doily Builder Thinlits, another sold out item. Are you seeing a pattern here? You really want to look through the Last Chance items to make sure you don't miss something you meant to order. An alternative die you could use in place of the Doily Builder is the flower form the Flourish set.

I've loved the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper since it was introduced a year ago in June. I plan to make as many cards as possible to use both the Petal Promenade paper and the beautiful Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper before this favorite of mine is gone for good..

Need a copy of the upcoming catalog? If you don't have a current Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would love to be your demonstrator. Contact me, so I can add you to my new catalog mailing list, which I'm finalizing at the end of this month (April 30). New catalogs will arrive towards the end of May, giving you time to put together your Wish List so you'll be ready to order June 4.
