Mothers Day Card with Crochet

Whether decorating a church  for a wedding, crocheting a baby blanket, baking and decorating a cake, making cards or wrapping a gift, I love working with my hands. So, when I saw the idea of using crochet in a card,  I got so excited that I made two cards instead of one. Here they are.

Tools: Die cutting machine, circle punch, precision scissors, heat tool, computer and printer
Stamp: 'Mother' (Paper Inspirations)

Happy Crafting!
