Mother's Day Card for my Mother-In-Law

I was inspired to do this card from some cards that I received in a Card Swap made by Gena Z (sorry Gena, can't think of your whole name) or her MB name MsGenaZep. She had made some flowers similar to this on some of her card fronts for a swap on my favorite MB. I loved it so thought I would try!
For this one, I used Stampin' Up's Full Heart punch. I punched out 10 hearts folded them in half, distressed the edges a bit, and then cut out a circle using SU's 1 3/4" circle. Then I layered them in a circular pattern, added the brad to the center. The leaves I made using the wing from SU's Extra large two-step bird punch. The background is embossed using Stampin' Up's Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, run through my BigShot. The sentiment is from one that I had on hand (NonStampin' Up).

Top Note Christmas Card Fronts

Yeah it is here! My BigShot is here! I ordered the BigShot through Stampin' Up and it arrived today! I already had all of these cut out and glued down just waiting for the BigShot to arrive! I made these for my Christmas In July Card Front Swap that I am hosting on my favorite Message board. I wanted to go with some non-traditional colors. All of the patterned paper is from a stack of Christmas printed papers. The Sentiments is from an old Stampin' Up set called "Lots of Thoughts". The sentiment is punched out using Stampin' Up's Curly Punch and the patterned paper is cut using Stampin' Up's Top Note Die. These were so much fun to make!!!!
