Easy Step by Step to Creating Mother's Day Card 

1. Zoe -- Cut 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 1/4" x 5 1/2"; and 1" x 3" (round corners of this one).

2. Aqua Shimmer Trim -- cut a 5 1/4" length.

3. Adhere Zoe paper and Shimmer trim to Card base as shown.

4. Pixie -- Cut free-hand or use Artistry Cricut Cartridge found in CTMH Cricut Cartridge Booklet -- 1 flower base (<Flower 8>) 1 1/2". Cut 2 flower layers (Shift Layer), 1 at 1 3/4" a d 1 at 2". You may wish to cut 2 additional bases at 1 3/4" and 2" to use on the envelope, if hand delivering, and also on the gift tag.

5. Canary -- Cut 2 flower bases, 1 at 1 3/4" and 1 at 2". Cut 1 flower layer at 1 1/2". If you are making the additional flowers to embellish an envelope or gift tag, cut 2 additional flower layers, 1 at 1 3/4" and 1 at 2" (as above),

6. Adhere flower base and flower layers.

7. Adhere 1 sequin to center of each flower.

8. Adhere 1 touch of Sparkle to center of Sequin.

9. Using your fingers, gently roll the petals of each flower toward the center to add a little dimension.

10. Adhere completed flowers to upper left of card, as shown. I used foam tape to do this.

11. White Daisy -- Cut 1 rectangle, 3/4" x 2 3/4. Round corners.

12. Glacier Ink -- Stamp "Happy Mother's Day!" to center of White Daisy rectangle.

13. Adhere stamped sentiment to Zoe rectangle.

14. Adhere assembled sentiment to Card Base, slipping just a bit of the left edge under the flowers.

15. Adhere 3 Sparkles just below stamped sentiment.

I hope you had fun Papercrafting With Gayle!
