Hello, welcome to the Pals Blog Hop! This month our theme is “Goodbye to January-June Mini and 2019-2020 Annual Catalogs and Hello to 2020-2021 Annual Catalog” where the Design Team is showcasing their favorites from the retiring catalogs or products in the new catalog! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I played a bit of a trick on my mom recently. She saw the card from the blog hop last month that I made and assumed that it was her Mother’s Day card. Of course I couldn’t send her a card that she’s already seen! So I made this card for her for Mother’s Day, haha. I wanted it to be a surprise so I just let her think that the one from last month was her card. Hehe. Sorry to make 2 Mother’s Day cards in a row for blog hop posts, but that’s why I did it.
For this card I combine the Ornate Garden Suite of products (Gilded Gems, Ornate Garden DSP and Ornate Borders Dies) with the Heartfelt Bundle. I really like how this turned out.
For the floral border, I ran a bunch of lines of Snail Adhesive toward the bottom of the Whisper White card base. I took a piece of Terracotta Tile cardstock and ran the Ornate Border Die through the end. I think cut out this same border in Gold Foil, Old Olive and Blushing Bride Cardstock. I carefully layed the Terracotta Tile piece over where the Snail Adhesive was laying on the Whisper White Cardstock so that the die cut opening was sticking to the Snail Adhesive. I then used my Take Your Pick tool to carefully insert the small pieces into their respective holes as shown in the photo.
It takes a bit of patience but the outcome is stunning! Below is a close-up of the card…
Bundle & Save! Don’t forget that when you purchase a bundle you save 10%! The Heartfelt Bundle is so versatile and I love how great it pairs with products from the Ornate Garden Suite.

Beautiful card Jen. Love the attention to detail. The combination of the two stamp sets was awesome.
I loved both of the cards! Either way I was getting a beautiful hand made with love card for Mother's Day! I could tell all the love and attention you put into this card! You did a great job, as always! 🙂
I love the pieced die-cut border. Beautiful card!
Such wonderful detail here! Great to see how you put your own stamp on a different Mother's Day card for your mom!
Super cute, Jen! Love your inlay border. You're right – it's a bit of work but always worth it. I know that your mom loved it!!
Beautiful card! Love the paper piecing!
