Forever Blossoms ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today I'm sharing the cards I made for my mom and mom-in-law this year for Mother's Day.  If I had posted them yesterday they would have seen their cards on here before they got them and I didn't want that to happen!

Victorian Accent ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Good morning...today's cards are what I gave to my mom and mother-in-law yesterday for Mother's Day. :)

Lovely Day ~ Fun Stampers Journey Mother's Day Cards

I know I'm a little late posting today's cards, but I wanted to make sure they were delivered before I posted them.  I made these cards for my mother and mother-in-law for Mother's Day...of course!  They each hold a special place in my heart and since I'm not very good with words I like to let my cards show everyone that I care.  Even though my favorite color is green, when it comes to making cards I think that they are overwhelmingly blue of one shade or another.  And once again I used my favorite ATS Stamp Lovely Day. :)

 As you can see one card is a lighter blue than the other.  I colored the flowers with different blue Journey Burst Pencils. I believe I used  pencils 26, 30 and 32 for the lighter card with Beach Ball Satin Ribbon and I know I used pencils 30, 32 and 33 on the darker card with Catalina Splash Satin Ribbon. I hope you find them as lovely as I do. :)

Pretty Painted Petals for Mother's Day

Since I didn't show you the cards I made for my mom and mom-in-law earlier this week for Mother's Day I figured I'd quickly post them now.  I was in the mood for a little water coloring again, so that's what I did. :)  I always make their cards similar, but never the same.  I try to use colors that reflect who they are (if that makes any sense!) and what they like too.  I love how they both turned out and I'm not sure which one I like better.  

I really like the light blue on this card because it makes the flowers stand out...

but I really like the bright background on this one because it accentuates the flowers. :)

Here's a couple more pics of each card.  I hope you enjoy looking at these cards as much as I loved creating them. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi, Everyone.  It's time for another card for this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge.  I have to admit I fudged just a little on the sketch, but I wanted to make another card using the Hello Doily and Fabulous Florets stamp sets since they're on the retired list and I won't be using them for my classes anymore. :(  Hello Doily is a great background stamp and I've made my share of cards using it.  Fabulous Florets has been one of my favorite flower sets since I LOVE embossing the flower images in white then sponging the flower to give it a unique color.  I've used so many different color combinations with this set.  If you want to see the different cards I've made using this set just click HERE.

The twist for this week's sketch is Mother's Day.  Since I'm way behind on my card making I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to come up with a card for my mother and mother-in-law.  Yup, I usually make them the same card, but always use different colors.  :)  Don't forget to stop by Try Stampin' on Tuesday to see what the other designers made using this sketch and play along with us too.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
