Mothers Day Cards



Happy Monday all!!!  I hope you all had a nice weekend and a nice Mother's Day!! Happy late Mothers Day to all you wonderful mommies out there!!!

For today's share i thought i would show you the Mother's Day cards that i made for my amazing Momma and Momma-in-Law.  I didn't want to post them before Mother's Day since they both check my website regularly (awe...).

Each card is using one of my favorite stamps, Stippled Blossoms.  This stamp is just soooo beautiful!!! Every time i use it people can't believe that it is a "stamp".  The above card i used it at the bottom of the card, creating a bottom boarder type using So Saffron as the bottom color of the flower and then one of the new In Colors, Strawberry Slush.  Don't forget that the new catalog order begin on May 31st so click here to order your catalog today so you can get a jump start on your wish list!!!!  Once i stamped my flowers i took my sponge and my Old Olive and brushed the bottom edge of my card to give it a bit more depth.  Then, i created a boarder for my greeting (which is from the stamp set All In The Family by TPC Studio) using the So Saffron, cut at 4 1/2" x 2" then my second layer of Strawberry Slush, cut at 4 3/8" x 1 7/8" and then my final layer of Whisper White cut at 4 1/4" x 1 3/4".


For my second card i used one of my favorite techniques, the 3 Tier Stamping technique (at least that is what i call it.  Most i think call it Triple Stamping).  Click here to see my video tutorial on how to create this card.  For this one i used Blushing Bride (another color that is coming out in the new catalog and if you have been using SU! for awhile you may recognize this color.  It is an old In-Color that they decided to bring back YAY), for my bottom color and then Wisteria Wonder for my top.  Don't they look great together? LOVE it!!!! 



Here is a look at the Stippled Blossoms set (above). 



Now on to a bit of personal stuff!   I wanted to share with you this absolutely beautiful plant that my hubby got me for Mother's Day. Oh my goodness i was in "awe" when I saw it.  It is a Hydrangea!  However i have never seen a Hydrangea like this before! The picture really doesn't do it justice, the thing is massive and i can't wait to get it into my planter.  That is if it ever becomes warm enough here in the mitten state to put flowers outdoors without having to bring them in every night because it freezes, lol).


 Next i just wanted to share the two reasons as to why my Mother's Day was so unbelievably special.. it is all thanks to my amazing hubby and of course my beautiful baby girl!!! They sure did know how to make this Momma feel loved yesterday and everyday!!!

Well all, that is all for today.  I hope you enjoyed today's share.  Until next time...
