Today's fresh and festive card is destined for my husband's Grandmother Rosella, ready to turn 101 next week. She has quite a sweet tooth, so I tucked some Cherry Cordial Kisses in a Fancy Favor Box.
- The Occasions Mini introduces two new shades of Corduroy Buttons, Real Red and Pretty in Pink. Real Red provides the perfect pop on my big flower
- One of my favorite tricks is to cut a sliver of matching cardstock, slip it through the button and carefully tie. Very custom and polished. Great for using scraps!
- "Thinking of you" in Real Red is tucked inside as the second half of the sentiment "Three little Words. . ."
- Flower Folds Bigz XL Die whips up delightful paper blooms in seconds. It can do the same for fabric, vinyl, leather or even thin tin.

Hi Jennifer: Rosella would tell you that her secret is not eating cheese. Quite a confession from a Wisconsin “cheesehead.” Hugs, M
Wow! You’re such a talented lady! A great inspiration to the not-so-talented rest of us…. well me anyway!!!
Hi Sujata: One of these days I need to post my “early years.” You’ll then see talent comes with practice–not genetics. Hugs, M
These colors are wonderful – love seeing all of the brights you are using! Three little words?? The three little words that jumped out at me in this post were ONE HUNDRED ONE – wowza!
I love it. Thanks for the usual inspiration.

A VERY Happy Birthday to Grandma Rosella – I remember her photo from last year posted as she was turning 100! Love those beautiful layered flowers and great coordinating sweet treat bag – she’ll love it all!!

This is beautiful Mary, love the flower and the design paper.
Mary, those are so beautiful… the colors are my fav!!! Your flower is awesome… my fav too. Hugs,
Mary…I “just” commented on SCS that these were so “not” my colors…..I completely take that back! This is gorgeous!! The juxtaposition is brilliantly done, patterns are so complimentary and textures yummy. Geesh…you are so good at converting the unconverted! TFS
Hi Samara: I love to experiment and am not afraid of color . . . however, my trash bin often sees more “results” than you will on the blog. LOL. Hugs, Mary
Love the colors and details Mary!
So stunning, Mary! I love that flower. It just opens up your whole card. Happy New Year! XO
