It's time for a new challenge over on the Creative Creases blog where it's always anything goes with a fun fold project. For my Guest Designer card this time, I chose a 3-panel card design I saw on Connie Stewart's YouTube channel here: 3 Panel Card Tutorial: How To Make Unique Card With Personality! (simplysimplestamping.com).
I still had some lovely design papers from Stampin' Up that I wanted to use, so I chose some matching card stocks in yellow and purple and set about following Connie's instructions for making the card base and the small 3-panel card that goes on the front of the base. All the measurements are in a download Connie provides here: 3 Panel Card Tutorial: How To Make Unique Card With Personality! (simplysimplestamping.com).
After I trimmed and scored all my layers, I added a bow and then did some stamping and die cutting for the sentiments and the florals on the back of the card. All the stamps I used are from retired SU! sets except for the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment which is from a retired CTMH stamp set. I've neglected my pretty SU! supplies recently and want to do better about using them. If you'd like to check out some great deals on retired SU! products, see my friend Debbie's list here: My Secret Sale - Google Docs.
To finish my card, I added a trio of soft yellow sequins to the front. I think my mom will really love this card. She deserves something very special since she's the most phenomenal mother, grandmother and great-grandmother! I also need to get busy on making a Mother's Day card for my sweet mother-in-law and one for my daughter-in-law who is an amazing mother to my grandson. How blessed I am to be surrounded by so many godly Christian moms!

Here's a look at the back of the card with the sentiment:
"Thank you for the lifetime of love you've given me."
