Happy Mother's Day! What a great day today is going to be! I can hardly wait to spend it with my family! Hope your day goes well and you get to spend it with loved ones!

My card for today is one I've wanted to do for quite awhile, but just never seemed to get around to it! This card uses the retiring "Finial Press" Textured Impressions Folder with the Big Shot and the lovely-but-retiring "Flower Fancy" stamp set, so I knew it was now or never!

The lower edge of the Vellum Cardstock Top Note has been run through the Big Shot with a strip of the Finial Press Textured Impressions Folder that I cut off in a strip so I could use it selectively like this:

Of course, this destroys the full effect of the folder, so I own TWO of this one! At $7.95, that's doable! Here's the inside:

Here's the list of retiring products on this card:

 * Flower Fancy Stamp Set #111578 Wood-mount only $36.95

 * Finial Press Textured Impressions Folder #115963 $7.95

 * Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess (Happy Birthday & it's your day!)

 * Peach Parfait 8 1/2" x 11 Cardstock #119794 $6.95

The Vellum Paper that is retiring is now all sold out, but I used the Vellum Cardstock because of it is sturdier and can be held in place on the card front with just a few well-placed Stampin' Dimensionals:

Positioning the dimensionals in the upper left section of the vellum cardstock Top Note allows the white heat embossed and stamped flower to cover up the dimensionals!

In case you were wondering, the stamped banners inside and out are from the Petal Cone Die!

Well, it's off to spend the day with the fam! Hope your day "Stampingrox!" like mine will!
