For Our Special Moms

This was the card I made for our moms for Mothers Day this year. The original idea and inspiration for this came from a Hallmark Valentines Day card I purchased earlier this year. I really liked the pop up on it and decided to give it a try on Design Studio...

The original Hallmark card had a dog with outstretched arms in the center of the pop out "O", but I decided to try and keep it simple and used a heart shape instead. The base card and pop up insert were created using the George cartridge, and Opposites Attract for the alphas. What I really like about this card is that it could be quite versatile, and probably easily changed up to be a "thank YOU" or "happy birthday to YOU" card.

The roses, layered and popped with foam dots are from the Indie Arts cart. Patterned papers are from Lasting Impressions (front of card) and DCWV (inside of card).

Then for a sweet treat for the grandmas and aunties, I decided to do some chocolated dipped strawberries. Quick and easy, but so yummy!
And here's the bag the strawberries went in. Made these on a whim, very last minute so they had to be really simple. Mothers Day sentiment is from the Calligraphy Collection cartridge and strawberry from Hello Kitty Greetings.
Hope everyone had an enjoyable day celebrating and remembering how special our moms are!
