Pals Blog Hop – Country Chic Hydrangea Mother’s Day Card

Today I have a sweet Mother’s Day card using hydrangeas from the Beautiful Friendship Photopolymer Stamp Set. This set is gorgeous and makes insanely beautiful cards in a snap! This card was so quick and easy to put together and I know all of the moms in my life are really going to enjoy it. I am calling this a country chic card because the Linen Thread and the Crumb Cake card base give it a bit of a country vibe. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set which is a great stamp set that you can use for many special occasions throughout the year. 

Start with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Crumb Cake card base. Fold in half and burnish with your bone folder.
Cut a 3 3/4″ x 5″ Highland Heather card mat and a 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ Whisper White layer.
Stamp 2 hydrangeas in Highland Heather at opposite corners as shown. Next stamp the leaves in Garden Green Stampin’ Ink.
Place a Mini Glue Dot on the center of the back of the Whisper White layer near the edges, this is what will hold the Linen Thread in place. Wrap the Linen Thread around the Whisper White layer 3-4 times securing against the Mini Glue Dots while you are wrapping to hold it in place.
Tie a double bow in the Linen Thread and secure to the front of the card as shown using a Mini Glue Dot.
Adhere the Whisper White layer to the Highland Heather mat and then adhere to the Crumb Cake card base using your Snail Adhesive for each layer.
Stamp the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Highland Heather Stampin’ Ink and cut out using your Rectangle Stitched Dies.
Pop the sentiment on the card using your Stampin’ Dimensionals and you’re done!
