Mother's Day Cards

I used this sketch from PageMaps to create my Mother's Day cards this year. I did them all the same just changed up the papers and colors to fit the mother they were going to! The Happy Mother's Day sentiment came from the May Word Puzzle. The scalloped half-circle is the opening for these cards. I used my large circle coluzzle to shape the flap and I used the corner rounder method to create the scallops.


For my mom I always think green and purple, so I used this Promise of Spring paper that was a CTMH special a couple years ago.

This one was for David's mom and she loves Pink so I used the Tickled Pink paper.

This was for Great Grandma Lemoine - using Floral Tapestry.

This was for Great Grandma Lancaster - using Caprice.

This was for Great Grandma Sager - using Silhouette.

This was for my Dad's wife, Shelly - using Key to My Heart paper.

Then while I was having fun with these cards, I made this one for a friend whose birthday was the day after Mother's Day. For some reason I seem to turn to this paper for her. Last year for her birthday I decorated a jumbo clothespin with this paper. Then when she went into pre-term labor last fall, her get well card was made from these papers as well!

Thanks for looking - I hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day!

That's what I LOVE about making cards! You get to pick and choose things that suit the receiver rather than grabbing something off a shelf that wasn't specifically made for them! I love the way all of them turned out!!!
