Shoe Birthday Card and Gift Box

My Mother's Birthday falls 2 weeks after Mother's Day...so every year I try to distinguish the two apart and do something different for both occasions.  You can view the Mother's Day card in a previous post.

I bought my mother a pair of earrings but the box is pretty evident in distinguishing what it is and if you knew my mother....she loves surprises!!! So this year, I made a little “Lunch Box” Gift box and Card.

The Following Supplies were used for the Gift Box:

Cricut Cartridges- Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2

Cricut Projects- Flower Shoppe

“Mom”- All in the Family Large Sentiments from Just Rite

Versamark Ink

Eggplant Pearl Embossing Powder from Recollections

Heat Gun

Small Circle Punch from Marvy Uchida

Sookwang Tape

Craft Glue

Various cardstock shades from  from American Crafts Pastels Collection

She loved carrying the box and now has it proudly displayed on her mantle, so it was worth the paper cuts assembling it! :o)

Not only does my mother enjoy surprises, she also has a flair for SHOES!!! Like mother, like daughter. 

For this card, I used the following supplies:

Fashion Shoe Digital Stamp from Justinklined.

Border Bling from Gina K. Stamps

Dew Drop Purple Hydrangea Chalk Ink

Spectrum Noir Markers

Liquid Pearls in Lavender Lace

Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock from Crafter's Companion (For when using alcohol markers)

Different shades of Purple cardstock from American Crafts Pastels Collection

Purple Shimmer cardstock from DCWV Shimmer Stack Collection

Paper Piercer and template from Stampin' Up!

SpellBinders Nestabilities- Scalloped Ovals,  Labels Twenty-Five & Labels Fourteen Dies

Prima Heartshaped Pearl Flower

Feather and Pearls for embellishments.

Pop Dots

This too was a hit, but then again, what woman doesn't like a fabulous shoe???

Happy Craftin'!
