This last week, I held in-person classes in my craft space in Mesa, Arizona. I primarily focused on the Forever Florals Bundle. Although I often offer additional sentiments and techniques I feel my attendees will appreciate.
In addition to the bundle, I showcase Stampin’ Up!’s Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper. This card uses three different designs from this paper pack. This card demonstrates how to “stretch” the die by cutting it in half before adding it to the card front.

Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (wood grain pattern) measuring 5 1/4 x 4

It’s so simple, but it’s so pretty! I love the subtle, pastel colors I chose for this card. You could use any combination of colors for the flowers to suit a mom’s likes.
