Being the mother of four daughters, I have always tried to pass the love around, trying never to favor one versus the other.  I'm very proud of all my girls, two of whom are super mothers in their own right!
My Mama Mia will be 92 in another month and she is the very best mom in the world!! My favorite memories revolve around food as she is an outstanding cook; my particular favorite is her homemade spaghetti and meatballs - world class!! Since I'm an only child, I always have her undivided and unconditional love as she has mine!

My first project is a Mother's Day card for my own Mama Mia using one of my favorite styles -

Triple Stamping!

Everything's Coming Up Roses For You, Mama Mia!

LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon Southern Sass Collection - Buttercup HERE

Pink by Design sentiment: A mother holds her child's hand for a while but their heart, forever (love this)

Heartfelt Creations rose and floral stamps

Janie's adorable little girl stamp from Paper Wishes

Stampin Up cardstock, dimensionals, and ink

Colored pencils and gel pen for accenting

Pink pearls (the long piece at the bottom was just a scrap left over from cutting the mats)

For those of you who want to create a triple-stamped card, here are the dimensions I used:

Dimensions for the stamped layers - 1 each

2" x 3-1/4"

3" x 4-1/4"

4" x 5-1/4"

Dimensions for the cardstock mat layers - 1 each

2-1/4" x 3-1/2"

3-1/4" x 4-1/2"

5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (fold and score at 4-1/2" for card base to get a great crease).......and have lots of fun stamping and decorating

Next, I thought I'd try something new (for me) - quadruple stamping and here's my first attempt:

Quadruple the Love - For My Daughters

I was looking for a tutorial on this and
found one at Krafting Kreations HERE

Dawn Mercedes Gorgeous Spring Card ♥

 Hi crafters!

This is Dawn, of Sunnyside Up, just checking in on this fantastic Friday!

By now, spring has even popped up here in Michigan and I thought I'd show you a frilly 

card that will get you lots of admiration b/c of the embellishments!

I folded a long, tall envie into a gate fold.

The edge with Buttercup rumple ribbon from the Southern Sass Collection by Lovebug Creations.  Then, I bedecked the top flap using Spring Lilac and Blue Bells from the Gardens of Tara Collection.

I used Glue Dots  ® to adhere these Beautiful Blooms to my flap.

A Repositional Glue Dot keeps my flap shut!

I love these flowers.  They are lightweight and colorful.

What colors would YOU like to see in the LBC store?

I created this simple card.  

Well..honestly...I cut down a pre fab card to fit inside my envie. 

After I added a lilac insert and the watercoloring/sequins...who would think this was 

ever store bought!

Show your gratitude with a whole lot of flare and style...

For more colors, please sashay on over to the Lovebug Creations store! 

Thanks so much for dropping by today!!

Or, should I say, "Merci!!"

I recently acquired some Jaded Blossom stamps and this little owl was one of the images.  Now, I am not the greatest coloring papercrafter, but I promise it looks cuter in person.  I used brown Mama's Mesh and Envious green rumple ribbon on this little card.  My daughter will surely love it!
