Mother's Day Cards



Mother's Day is special.  This card brought together a couple of designs I've been wanting to use, as well as another opportunity to show off the beautiful CTMH Blossom Paper (X7196B), which I just love.  Other Close To My Heart supplies used include:

"Fabulous You" Stamp (Seasons and Nature - C1533)

"Mother's Day" Stamp (retired - suggest B1474)
Shimmer Trim (Z1918)
Inks - Crystal Blue (Z2117), Olive (Z2137), Sunset (Z2191)
White Cards, Value Pak (X254)
Bitty Sparkles (Z1263)
Bouquet Assortment (retired - suggest Z1857)
Shin Han Markers - Turquoise Blue (Z2465), Clay (Z2451), Golden Yellow (Z2452), Marigold (Z2457), Pastel Peach (Z2460)

In addition, I used my trusty Creative Memories circle templates - 3" and 3 1/4".  Sometimes hauling out the Cricut machine for a few piddly circles just seems like more trouble than it's worth!

Inside, a simple sentiment with plenty of room for personal touches.  I hope you enjoyed this project.  May you all experience a day you enjoy on Mother's Day.  Blessings,

Variation on a Theme

Ivy Lane Papers

Last month I showed you the lovely box with 5 cards I made in a workshop.  This month, I made several more of those boxes and cards to give as Mother's Day gifts.  To stay in the theme, I used some of the leftover papers to create Mother's Day cards.

Supplies used:

Ivy Lane Paper Pack (X7178B)
Ivy Lane Complements (X7178C)
Look To The Light Occasions Stamp (B1428)
Perfect Fit - Mom Holiday Stamp (C1543)
Bitty Sparkles (Z1263)
Cricut Artiste Cartridge (Z1790)

The Artiste cartridge was used to cut the stamp shape and background frame.  Accent 3 Row 1 Column 3 at 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 height, using real dial size.  the inside sentiment is from the "Look to the Light" collection.

The final collection was combined with this card to send to my family "moms".

Although my own mom has left this mortal coil, I enjoy sharing these beautiful cards with loved ones still here.  May you all have a blessed Mother's Day.
