Mother's Day Card

Hello there & thanks for stopping by my blog today. 
I hope you like what you see & become a follower, I will of course pop on over to you too.

Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card that I made especially for my Mum, it's a pop up box card from Craft Work Cards. I purchased the plain set the other week off of Create & Craft & Mother's Day was a perfect opportunity to play with it. 
These cards are fun to do & very satisfying. 

I have taken several pics of different angles for you to see.

What I Used:-

Craft Work Cards pop up box templates. You can buy yours HERE.

Ribbon I purchased on a reel from Ebay, very cheap. Buy yours HERE.

Paper:- V&A 8"x8" Hanoverian linen paper pack. I have had this for ages!!

Flowers:- I purchased these ages ago from the pound shop. They came in large packs in three different colour waves - pinks - purples & white/cream.

Gems in centre of flowers also from Meiflower.

Sentiments off of the web.
