How To: Paper, Photo, Flower Plant Pot Decor (no water needed)!

Are you ready for Mothers Day yet?  You can make this in one hour or less!

Add photos of your family members, pets, friends!



Here's a picture of mom on her 94th young Birthday. 

This can be for Birthday, Valentines, Mothers Day, Teachers or a Just Because gift. 

 

Here's How:

A piece of Florist green foam block cut to size or Styrofoam and a open pot glued to fit.



Wilton Lollipop Sticks.  I used 6" inch and 8" inch sticks. 



With your punches, punch out your face photos with the SU 1" inch Circle Punch (#119868), apply one dimensional and with your paper scraps or DSP punch with the SU Blossoms Punch (#125603).  In the both the current and new catalog.

With my hot glue gun applied a small amount of hot glue to the lollipop stick

and the punched flower.  Real simple. 



Happy Birthday to Mom!!!  Mom, Mandy (my daughter) and me!

Pop 'n Cuts CARD for Mother's Day!

Greetings!  Yes, I know I'm a little late posting my Mothers Day card ... so here it is!  Several months ago I made this over at my SU upline Brenda Keenan's unit meeting but finished it later at home. Gave it to mom for Mothers Day and personalize it with a photo.

Yep, that's my mom (photo taken in 1945) ... chic, stylish and a first class lady.

On the outside this card is very simple and straightforward.   Karen Burniston is the creator of this magnificent Pop N Cut die.   She is a well known designer and papercrafter and has teamed up with Stampin’ Up! to create this exclusive die for them.  

Insert in the Card Base Pop 'n Cuts Die to cut a fun pop-up card! Embellish the dress form with a dress you cut using the Dress Up Framelits Dies and add a photo for fun!

Here's a photo of mom this evening.  Tonight, I tucked her in bed and she actually let me take a picture of her wearing her adorable Peanuts night shirt.  Shes is the cutest little 93 years young lady I've ever seen. Sweet dreams mom!
