Mother's Day Floral Framed Card

Hey guys, Mother's Day is just around the corner so I thought that I would share the card that I plan to give to my own AMAZING mother so hopefully she doesn't check out my blog in the next few days, because if she does she is going to see her Mother's Day card early.

While on YouTube this past week I came across several people talking about how to get the most out of your stamps by stamping them onto a patterned paper instead of just a solid color. I love this idea and it can add so much color and interest to any project. So, I grabbed several sheets of patterned paper and started stamping. I love how it all turned out, with the solid black line from the stamp over the color design pattern, each flower looked completely different even when stamped on the same patterned paper.

  

Just like I did with last week’s card, I choose to add the same stamped designs onto the inside of the card. Only, this time I decided to color in each flower to give it a bolder, more vibrant look. I love how this card turned out and I hope that my mom will too. 

Mother's Day Stamped Layer Card

I made this beautiful card with a new stamp set that I got. One of the newest trends in stamping and card making is layering stamps; stamp sets that are created with images that when stamped with different colors layer on top of one another to give a more realistic look to an otherwise flat image. So by layering several different shades of pink together these gorgeous flowers appear to be almost 3 dimensional. This card could easily be used for any occasion by simply changing out the sentiments and/or colors to fit the recipient and the occasion.

For the inside I used the same stamps that I used on the front but chose not to layer them, so that it gives a cohesive look without being too heavy and still leaves enough space to write a message.

Mother's Day 2014 Cards

Since my last post shared the Mother's Day cards that I made last year, I felt it was only fitting to share the cards that I made this year as well.

 

The first card shown below is the one that I made for my mom this year. Pink and Green paired together are a great color combination and they help each other to pop. This card was simple to make but still has an elegant and classic feel.

Below is the card that I made for one of my Aunts, it is a card that could be made for multiple occasions. It is full of bright colors and the feeling of Spring.

 



 

Mother's Day 2013 Cards

I was going through my card box to take stock of my inventory and I discovered quite a few that I had yet to post pictures of. I know I promised pictures of my Christmas albums but I still need to pull the photos off of my phone, so in the mean time I will upload the cards that I have come across.

 

These first 3 where Mother's Day cards. The first two I gave away (one to my mom and the other to my aunt) and the third is still in my "inventory"
