Mother's Day is just around the corner! Here in New Zealand we celebrate it on the second Sunday of May, which this year is 14 May. I created this delicate Mother's Day card for my mum using the Dainty Delight stamp set and coordinating Dainty Delight Dies.

There is A LOT of die-cutting to create this beautiful Mother's Day card. I began with Old Olive, Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, and Basic White cardstock for die-cutting lots of different flowers and foliage and then had fun arranging this flowerpot. They look like a wildflower garden! I also used the very versatile Alphabet À La Mode Dies to die-cut "MUM" for the front of the card. Although this card was created for Mother's Day, this could easily be altered for a milestone birthday or anniversary by die-cutting numbers for the card front instead of "MUM".
This card has some wow-factor still to show you. It is actually an easel card and when you prop up the card front, the flowers sit up in the flowerpot!
Inside the card, I stamped the words and popped them up on Stampin' Dimensionals as a prop for holding up the easel. You can't quite see it, but I have also stamped one of the beautiful stems from the Dainty Delight stamp set inside the card too. This imagery pairs so well with the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper... it is like they were meant for each other! Be sure to order the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper before it retires on Monday next week!
I think my Mum will love this elegant Mother's Day Card and I am looking forward to sharing it with her soon.
