I missed my Mom's birthday...shame on me! I decided to send a little “I love you” card, day brighter, belated birthday card, thinking of you card, and thank you card all rolled into one! I also enclosed a little shopping money, hoping she might visit her favorite boutique and pick up a few pieces of jewelry, (she loves to add to her stash), or even some cardmaking supplies from Stampin' Up. My Mom is a 96-year old youngster and still going strong. She has always been able to shop the socks off of me that is for sure.
I made her card from the last pieces I had left from the June 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit. This was the first kit I purchased, and I loved its bright and cheerful papers and sentiments. Of course, I can never make the cards as they are suggested in the kit, and this one is no exceptions, though since it was my first kit, I did not make any extravagant additions.
Here is what I did to add more color and pizazz to my card. I enlarged my card to 4-3/4 x 6-inches by adding a new black card base and Poppy Parade color layer underneath the simulated alcohol-ink background paper provided. I added some ink-distressing to the paper edges and sequins to add sparkle. I finished off an inside design and verse to suit the occasion. I was happy with the additions as it really made my cards POP!
