Mother's Day

A friend came over this week and she had wanted to make Mother's Day cards. As it turned out, we didn't make any. But, I had taken out my very few Mother's Day stamps so I thought I would use one. This card will probably go to Cheryl for her thrift store for next year. :-) The stamp is an old wooden one from Michael's when they used to have their dollar bin. The image panel is mounted on foam squares. I added some black Gina K sequins for added interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Mother's Day

I met a friend for lunch on Wednesday (Cheryl) and gave her about seventy cards for the thrift store she volunteers at. I don't usually make Mother's Day cards anymore, but I thought I should add a couple of those. Should have been more, but our meeting came up very suddenly and I didn't have time for more. Here is what I came up with. Both used patterned paper from Die Cuts With a View. You can't see it in the photos, but each pattern has parts that look heat-embossed. The sentiment on each is from Verve. I made two of the second one.

For this first one, I stamped the sentiment on vellum and embossed with silver. I wrapped the vellum around the patterned piece before attaching to the card front. I also added thin shimmery silver strips to each edge of the vellum.

For this one, I stamped the sentiment on slightly textured ivory cardstock and embossed with gold. I colored the tiny flower with an orange marker. I added a piece of gold tape between the patterned layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Happy Mother's Day

I suppose I should wait for Mother's Day to post this card, but it's done now, so I'll share it. I made this card for my mother-in-law. The flowers were stamped and die-cut with a Stampin' Up! set. The leaves were die-cut with a die from the same set. I added enamel dots for the flower centers. Two of the three flowers are mounted on foam squares. The sentiment is from Verve. I colored the little flower and added a yellow pearl for the center. I embossed the background with a Darice folder and matted with matching green.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Happy Mother's Day

Here is the card I made for Jim's mom for Mother's Day. 

I used another die-cut piece that I made while visiting friends in Omaha using the stitched rectangles die. Love 'em! I added black and white dotted Washi tape along the border and mounted on foam squares. I stamped the tulips with a Northwoods stamp on a cream and blue "mottled" cardstock. I colored with Tombow markers. I added a little Star Dust Stickles to the butterflies - which you can barely see! The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Happy Mother's Day!

This is the card that we gave to Jim's mom for Mother's Day. (Actually, it's still on our kitchen table. We went to visit her yesterday, and Jim forgot the card! It will be mailed to her.)

I'm not sure who makes the flowers. They were stamped last year at our Group Gathering. I used a Kaliedacolor ink pad. I used Star Dust Stickles on all of the flowers. The sentiment is from Verve. I added an enamel dot on the flower in the sentiment. Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers. Kind of a sad one for me. We always visited my mom on the day before Mother's Day, too:(
