Good morning! Happy Saturday! I don't know about you, but time seems to be getting away from me these days and I still hadn't gotten my Mother's Day cards made until just this week. If you're needing a bit of last minute inspiration for your own Mom's Day cards, perhaps these will help you out. The great thing about these cards is that you can use pretty much any of the Year of Flowers series stamp sets that you might have on hand!
I needed to make 4 Mother's Day cards -- one for my mom, one for Bart's mom and one for each of my two Grandmas. In an effort to keep things a bit simpler this year, I decided to use the same overall layout for all 4 cards, and just changed up the colors and details a bit on each one.
For each lady, I thought about what colors she loves and what flowers seemed to fit each woman.
Each of the Year of Flowers images were heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The effect is so striking in real life.
As you can see, I changed up the details on the Fillable Frames #4 die cut layer, on each of the cards.....just mixing things up a bit to keep it interesting.
I went with morning glories on my Mom's card, since my youngest sister's name is Glory. :)
Hopefully you're ahead of the game and have already checked this project off the list, but if not, maybe these will give you a bit of a springboard to work with when creating your own cards!
Have a fabulous day! We're spending the day w/Bartley's mom and I think we might even be able to squeeze in a little antiquing with her this afternoon. Yay!
Take care, Peeps!
