Mother's Day Card Playing with My Favorite Things

In case you think I only work with Graphic 45 products, here is a project with some of my other favorite paper and stamp companies.  I made this card using My Mind's Eye's Miss Caroline patterned papers, Bazzill card stock, stamp and die from My Favorite Thing's Die-namics and stamp set, First Class Friend .  I have used both these papers and this die and stamp set before.  While most of the sentiments are about love and friendship, there are a few that work for any occasion.

This card is all about layering to create depth without bulk.  After all, I need to send this card to my Mom.  I layered up card stock and the Miss Caroline papers to create the illusion of depth.  Note how wrapped the stamp die in baker's twine and tied it with a cute, little bow.
I love how that grey rickrack is the perfect mirror to the stamp edge!

And, you know, I always have to include something to interact with and play with.  The inside of the card has the Paper Trey Ink die, Movers & Shakers Zipper Die.  Underneath the zipper pull, I hand wrote, "Happiest Mother's Day!"  But my Mom gets to be the one to pull it open.

Don't you just love that dusty rose colored lace?  Bought it at a local fabric store on a fun lace buying shopping spree.  I love the fresh color in the traditional lace ribbon.  I think it goes perfectly with the Miss Caroline papers!
