Peekaboo Card Revisited

I wasn't completely happy with the layering circles on my Peekaboo Swap card. The scale seemed off somehow. So, I took another look at it.

I used the second largest Stitched Circle Framelit for the backing circle instead of for the basket image. I used a smaller Layering Circle Framelit for the basket image. The matting looks more proportionate now.

Since I was revisiting the layering circles, I changed the theme of the card to Mother's Day. The Succulent Garden Suite is one of my mom's favorite suites in the Occasions Catalog. Shhh! This will be the card I send to my mom. So, don't tell.

A Sweet Sugarplum succulent and the corresponding inside greeting is stamped toward the bottom of the inside.

Here is another variation using the Oh, So Succulent stamp set.

What do you think of my revisited peekaboo fun fold card? How you decorate your peekaboo fun fold card?

Happy Mother's Day!

I was inspired by Karen Barber's Birthday card to make this Mother's Day card. I love the way Karen made the flowers look like they were growing in front of a wooden fence! This is too sweet!

I kept the overall layout and the floral fence theme but changed the colors, the sentiment, the DSP, and the ribbon.

I used Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow, and Sahara Sand. The sentiment comes from the April 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Because the DSP Karen used is retired, I substituted the gingham pattern from the Farmer's Market DSP. It appears to be the same pattern but with different colors.

I also removed the lacy butterfly from the Butterfly Basics stamp set. It was placed on the ribbon toward the right side. I may end up adding the butterfly. I haven't decided. What do you think?

 
To secure the Daffodil Delight cotton ribbon, I used glue dots. I placed a glue dot on each end, one under the faux bow knot, and one towards the right side. That way, the ribbon stayed flat after the faux bow was tied.

I stamped the envelope and the inside of the card with a single stem and two Daffodil Delight flowers.

Mother’s Day Card Measurements
	Color	Dimensions
Card Base	Blackberry Bliss	4-1/4” x 11”
1st Mat	Daffodil Delight	3-3/4” x 5-1/4”
2nd Mat	Very Vanilla	3-3/4” x 4”
DSP Strip	Farmer’s Market DSP	3-3/4” x 1”
Inside Mat	Very Vanilla	3-3/4” x 5-1/4”

There were no measurements listed for this card. Some of the measurements were easy to decipher. However, the DSP strip at the bottom was a little tricky. If I were to make this card again, I would increase the DSP strip to 3-3/4" x 1-1/2" and decrease the 2nd Mat to 3-3/4" x 3-1/2".

I hope my mom likes this card and knows how special and loved she is!

Thanks for stopping by!
