This card was inspired by a card I saw on the internet. Love the flowers inside the teapot. So cute!!

Anyhoo... Hopefully I will have enough time to post my the last card on Friday. It's been a crazy week and it's just going to get crazier. So looking forward to this summer!!

Stampin' Up! A Nice Cuppa - Best Mother

Hey Stamping Friends!!

I haven't blogged lately because... COLLEGE!!! Yes. I went back to college to get my Master's degree in Special Education and my California Teaching Credential. Needless to say I've been slightly (okay, COMPLETELY!!) overwhelmed. I haven't written a college paper since 1994. I don't even know how to access the syllabus online. They used to just give it to you on the first day of class. ;)

So for obvious reasons my stamping has been put on hold. I barely had time to get these A Nice Cuppa card kits together for my April Online Card Class. Hopefully I will have time to blog all four cards this week. Fingers crossed!!

Here is the first card:


Stamps: A Nice Cuppa
Ink: Blushing Bride
Paper: Pool Party, Pink Pirouette, Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Birthday Bouquet DSP
Accessories: Cups and Kettles Framelits, Lovely Lace EF, White Organza Ribbon, Pearl and Rhinestone Jewels

Here is what the kit includes:


1 - Pool Party card base
1 - Pink Pirouette card layer
1 - Birthday Bouquet DSP card front
1 - Mint Macaron piece
1 - Whisper White piece
1 - Pink Pirouette piece
1 - Pearl strip
2 - Rhinestones
1 - Organza ribbon

Instructions:

Attach Pink Pirouette card layer into Pool Party card base.

Such a sweet, pretty card for mom!! You can always change the sentiment to birthday or thinking of you and it's perfect for any one of your BFF's. :)
