Easy to Make Mother's Day Gift

4/16/2021

I can hardly believe it's spring and Mother's Day is right around the corner! Mother's can be hard to shop for, especially mothers who seem to have everything already. Here is a fabulous gift idea for Mom or anyone. A little patterned paper, like the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, a great greeting set like the Happy Thoughts stamp set, some dies, and a pack of note cards and envelopes make it quick and easy to pull together a fabulous gift for Mom.

Today, I am also hopping with the fabulous Pretty Cards & Papers International Design Team. This month, we've each chosen which patterned paper to use, so you are going to see lots of ideas with lots of beautiful patterned paper. Be sure to read all the way through this post, and then, hop through the list at the bottom to see everything the designers have created.

On y go! Let's get stamping.

Supply List for Sunshine Card and Box

I am excited to be hopping with the Stampin' Friends again. This month, we are sharing projects to brighten someone's day or send them well wishes. If you've been hopping along, you've joined me from Kim Quade's blog. When you're done here, I hope you will continue on to Barbara Welch's. You'll find a complete list of the blog hop links below.

For my projects, I created a card and a mini candy box featuring sun images made by piecing together basic die-cut shapes: triangles and circles. For both of these, I used the Stitched Shapes, Stitched Triangles, and Stitched Rectangle dies. I love the stitching on the edge of these dies as it helps give it a finished edge. To make the die-cut shapes pop even more, I sponged the edges. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Cutting Dimensions:
Mango Melody cardstock: 9 1/4" x 7 1/2", scored at 3 3/4"
Mango Melody cardstock: 3 large triangles, 4 medium triangles, 7 small triangles
Daffodil Delight: 6 medium triangles, 1 circle
Whisper White: 1 large circle, 1 medium large circle, 2 medium small circles, 2 small circles, 1 rectangle
Balmy Blue: 9" x 2 3/4"
Pumpkin Pie: 9 1/4" x 1/4"

A couple of Ghiradelli chocolates in a sunny box is sure to brighten anyone's day. This box was inspired by one made by Connie Stewart. When you open the box, a sun pops up to reveal two Ghiradelli squares. What a fun and sunny surprise!

Cutting Dimensions:
Daffodil Delight: 6 1/4" x 4 1/2", score all four sides at 3/4", then score the 6 1/4" direction at 2 3/4" x and 3 1/2"
Daffodil Delight: 7 small triangles, 1 small circle
Daffodil Delight: 1 13/16" x 2 13/16"
Mango Melody: 2 rectangles cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies
Mango Melody: Scrap
Pumpkin Pie: 2" x 3"
Window Sheet: 3/4" x 1 1/2"

There are complete instructions for cutting and assembling the box in the video. It may be helpful to refer to the cutting diagram to the right. Score on the dotted lines and cut on the solid lines. The outside scored lines are at 3/4" on all sides.
