Mother's Day

Here's a card I made for my mother for Mother's Day.

For the card base I used vintage cream cardstock embossed with the Quickutz embossing folder.  The focal image was done by cutting out a piece of melon berry paper using a nesties die and stamping the background with Background Basics Text Style in versamark.  The word Mother is from Mega Mixed Messages stamped in dark chocolate.  

The paper I used for the flower is from Lasting Impressions  that I've had in my stash for awhile.  I cut out a bunch of pieces using the flower dies from PTI and added a melon berry button in the center tied with some rustic cream twine.  To finish it off I added some vintage cream satin ribbon.

Thanks for stopping in today have have a wonderful  week.

Mother

This weekend I had some free time to play in my Happy Room and I wanted to get a jump on some cards I'll be needing in the next few months.  Mother's Day is slowing approaching so I wanted to get those cards out of the way first.  Yesterday's day card will go to one of my sisters and today is another card I made for my other sister.

I used the same concept as yesterdays card except I didn't add the cut out flower.  Instead I added the buttons.  For this one I used the Cuttlebugs dot embossing folder, added some score lines at the bottom and stamped my sentiment in between.

 I love how the patterned paper pops underneath the white cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Life set stamped in orange zest and raspberry fizz.  Tomorrow I'll show you the card I made for my mother.  Until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Mother's Day Flower Pots

These little flower pot cards are for my mother and sisters for Mother's Day. I got this idea from SCS "try a new techique". The tutorial for this techique can be found Here.


I alway try to make a unique card to send to my mother and sisters for Mother's Day and when I saw this I knew it was the one.


For this one I used kraft cardstock already embossed from Lasting Impressions for the base and dark chocolate for the top rim where I heat embossed a flourish with some clear embossing powder. I used rub-ons for the Happy Mother's Day for all the cards which I found a few years ago at Big Lots. All the flowers I used were purchased at Target a while back. I used the smaller version of these flowers on cards but these large ones I just thought were way to big to go on a card until now. I am some happy to finally find a use for them since I don't scrapbook.


For these next two cards I used the same embossed kraft cardstock for the rim and versamark ink to add the leaves from the Wedding Day set to the pot. I just pulled off some leaves from a punch of silk flowers to add to the back of the flowers.


I hope my mother and sisters enjoy them as much as I did making them.

Supplies:
Stamps: Wedding Day, Autumn Leaves Swirls
