Mom’s Birthday

March 14, 2018

It’s Karen here.  My mom’s birthday was at the beginning of March.  I wanted to wait to post her card until I was sure she got it.  My mom is the smartest, prettiest, most wonderful woman in the entire world.  (I know a lot of you have moms like that!)  I wanted to make her an extra special card for her birthday so I used the really cool Gift Wrapped stamps and coordinating dies along with the Butterfly Dreams paper.  To jazz it up just a bit more, I added a pop-up to the inside.  With the General Pop-Ups dies, it’s so EASY!
