Happy Thursday AI Friends!
My cards today feature the new #6041 - Flower and Bug die. This is such a fun set and makes the cutest flower when you pair it up with the Art Impressions paper packs.
My daughter became a first time mom and my daughter-in-law had her second baby both this past year. (I'm a Happy Happy Grandma!!😁) Since they are new moms, I decided to make them each a Mother's Day pocket card that holds a flower of the month gift certificate as well as a couple of little bookmarks using the #5723 - Journal cover and Bookmark dies.
I started by making the pocket using the #5806 - Slim Journal template. I die cut the journal with the #5940 Journal cover plaid PP and cut it in half between the score lines. I made another score line at 1/8" in from the original score line on both pieces. I folded each score line creating a pocket tab on both pieces. I then placed a slight line of glue on each tab and glued to the flat side of the other piece. When both sides are glued down, the pocket is created. I sealed the bottom of mine but it is optional if you have a stopper at the top holding the gift card (such as the bee clothes pin). The bee and ladybug dies come with the #6041 - Flower and Bug set. Adorable little embellishments!
I made another pocket on the front to hold the bookmarks. I used the #5952 - Portfolio die set to create the scallop edge on the pocket. As for the flower pot, I just free hand cut that and inked with Distress oxide antique linen. The watering can and the mini flower die cuts came from the #5336 - Garden Mini die set.
I hope you enjoyed my post and you have a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day and keep creating!
