Happy Mother’s Day! (Very belated wishes!)

As promised yesterday, today I am sharing with you the Mother’s Day cards I made for my Mum and my Mother-in-Law.

Firstly, here’s the card I made for Mum:

mothers_day_1

And the similar-but-different card for my Mother-in-Law:

mothers_day_2

See, similar-but-different!

mothers_day_3

I made a number of tese backgrounds using the Flower Patch stamp set. It was quite good fun choosing various light and dark shades of different colours to layer up these two-step-stamping flowers and working out a number of colour schemes! I then mounted the backgrounds onto card bases, and stamped and punched loads of different sentiments to add to the cards. I have not stuck the sentiments down, though, to allow people at work to customise their card choices when they buy them from me (or when I use them for my own needs!). I sold a few for Mother’s Day, one for a birthday, and I have some sitting in my basket of cards, ready for when they may be needed. I was really pleased with how they came out. If you’d like to make cards like these, they are pretty ink-heavy in terms of needing a number of similar colours, but other than that you just need a trimmer, glue (or tape) and cardstock! If you want to add the sentiments in the way that I have, then you’d also need two oval punches and the sentiment set, but there are lots of other ways to add a greeting without those supplies.

Do leave me a comment and let me know what you think of these cards. I do enjoy reading any comments I receive.

Have a great weekend, and I will be back on Tuesday with a very special birthday card which I made on Tuesday. Simple, yet massively effective, and hopefully it wil go down well with the recipient on Monday!

She loves the pocket scrapbooking style as it is quick and easy, and makes memory keeping much more achievable for her than the "traditional" option. She would love to share this with you if you are intrigued!
