4 my friend card made using the Mother's Day Moments cartridge and Fancy Pants Time for Spring Paper.

Hello, everyone!


Today, I have a card that I have made using the Mother's Day Moments cartridge and the Fancy Pants Time For Spring Collection. I know what you are going to say, "Mother's day was in May, Melanie. It is now July. Why in the world would you use a Mother's day cartridge now." Well, my friends, some cartridges are tricky and may have Mother's Day in the name, but have cuts on them that can be used all year round. The bouquet I used for this card is a great example of that!

We are giving away a pack of this paper this week to one lucky follower, so make sure you check the bottom of this post to see what you need to do to get in on the drawing!

Beatrice Lawson said...

Crazy pretty card. I just love the bouquet and I think it's a great idea to even do cards at the "wrong" time of year. I find it helpful to make a stash when I am not pressed for time and then it's ready for when I need it. Christmas cards anyone??

Sue D said...

Very pretty --I like the spring collection.

D- said...

Each day when I go back I see more of the designs to put on my wishlist. lol
I love the colors in your card.
That cart was on my wishlist but I never saw it at Js or Ms. :(
Love that bouquet! TFS.

Cute card. I love what you said about using stuff from themed cartridges for other cards and layouts. Many times I am looking for a specific thing and find it on a cartridge that was themed something else. This gives me an idea to put together an excel spreadsheet of all the cutouts on my cartridges!

Barb D. said...

I love, love, love that card! I need some Fancy Pants paper. You amaze me with your endless talent. Thanks for sharing.

Karen said...

I think I could make this card! Thanks for the idea.
