Why “Yippee-Skippee” for Mother’s Day? My mother was nicknamed “Skippy” as a little girl and the name has followed her. I thought this would be the perfect card sentiment to celebrate her special day! You could substitute any sentiment to make it your own for Mother’s Day, birthday, friendship and more!
This week’s Tall & Skinny Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO343) offers many ways to experiment with color and pattern.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Today’s card base measures 6 1/2″ x 3 1/2″.
- If you want to create a custom envelope using the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board, adjust the card size to a wider width (4 1/2″ wide should be plenty) to allow room for the sentiment banner.
- The Real Red Candy Dots add playful texture to the flower center.
- The Fancy Flower Punch is retiring and is only available while supplies last. Be sure to check out the Retiring Stamp and Accessories Lists below and order soon so you don’t miss out on your favorites.
RETIRING STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCT LISTS (UPDATED)
- Retiring Stamps (Available Thru June 4, 2014, or while supplies last)
- Retiring Accessories (Available Thru June 4, 2014, or while supplies last)

Great tall and skinny card! Those colours have so much zest and liveliness! TFS.
Love your Mother’s Day card. I’m sure your Mom will love it too. Look forward to seeing you today at the Catalog Launch.
I like your new service – it is nice the entire post comes through to my email! Fun tall & skinny card~
Oh WOW!! Mary, I’ve never seen a tall and skinny card before, (that just ain’t me, I’m neither tall nor skinny, LOL!! totally the opposite, more LOL!!)but your card is so colorful and fun and, since your mom’s nickname was Skippy, this couldn’t be more perfect. I love the beautiful combination of patterns and the fun little detail of the Candy Dots on the flower.
Well, how fabulous you will be getting a peek at the new catty, I can’t wait till it goes live for all of us. I will be checking your face book page to read about what ever details you can share. Have fun, Mary!!
