My Mom's Birthday Card

My Mom's birthday is on the 31st and that means that this weekend begins her birthday celebration. That's right, in my family you celebrate for at least a week. My husband was lucky if anyone acknowledged his birthday when he was a kid so marrying into a family like mine was really threw him for a loop. He still doesn't understand the concept of an extended celebration-Go Figure!!

Tomorrow is the party for the immediate family. That means present time!! I think she will like all of the things that I chose for her. She buys everything she wants so she is bit hard to shop for. . .I think I did okay.

I thought I would post the card that I made for her. My friends will be very surprised by this card because usually I am ANTI-butterfly stamps. However, I can proudly say that there are no butterfly stamps on this card at all. Amazing, huh?


I used SEI dp (then I blinged it up with some Denami translucent glitter). Then I used Bazzill Bling cs. The butterflies on the left side are cardboard punchouts that came in my Club SEI set a long while back. With a little bit of careful bending, my butterflies look like they are trying to fly off the page. As for the vellum butterfly. . .No stamp there either, that is all handmade my friends. I dry embossed by tracing a butterfly that was on a scrap piece of the SEI dp onto the vellum, cut around it, then went over most of the dry embossing with a Quickie Glue Pen and my Denami translucent glitter. I used the Fiskars Effervescence border punch at the bottom. Not sure if you can tell from the picture but this is a very glitzed out card. I hope it's not too much, there is a lot going on there.

Anyway, I hope you all have an awesome weekend. Thanks for looking.

'Til Later,
