Raining Flowers for Mother's Day




At the end of every catalog year, I have one or two stamp sets that are retiring that I haven't had a chance to use.  So during this last month before the new catalog, I take the opportunity to create some cards with those lonely stamp sets and realize how sad I am that they are retiring!  Especially the Raining Flowers stamp set.  It is so lovely and makes beautiful cards!  Since Mother's Day is coming, I decided to make a Mother's Day card first.  I used the retiring Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery inks and retiring Pretty in Pink ribbon.  I love these colors and will miss them in my regular color lineup.


I also made some birthday cards with some of the retiring stamp colors:  River Rock & Riding Hood Red for the first birthday card and Baja Breeze, Lucky Limeade, and Regal Rose for the second birthday card. (sigh)  I will miss these colors too.  


All these great stamp sets are retiring at the end of this month, so don't delay, order them today!

Elements of Style Mother's Day Card


I made this Mother's Day card with the new Elements of Style stamp set from the new Summer Mini Catalog! I love coloring in the flowers of this stamp! I've used the retiring colors sage shadow and barely banana. Don't wait to stock up on your favorite retiring colors - once stock runs out, you may not be able to order those colors!

Another Mother's Day Card

I made this card for my wonderful mother-in-law. Her favorite colors are green and yellow so I used barely banana and sage shadow with the beautiful Always stamp set to create her card. I embossed the birdie and cut him out and placed him on the branch.


For the inside I made a pop up card. It's pretty simple and is a fun surprise! You can create a pop up card by cutting a piece of cardstock to 5 1/4" x 8 1/4" and score in the middle at 4 1/8". Then measure 2 " from the top of the score line and 2" on either side of the score line and score from the top point into the point on the score line.



I added some dimensionals to the heart to make it pop out even more! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Mother's Day Card


Yep, this pink card is for my Mother. I don't use a whole lot of pink (see why here), so this was a rare occasion for me to bust out the pretty in pink and regal rose cardstock and ribbon. I thought the Blossoms Abound would be a pretty set for a Mother's Day card. I don't have the new greeting set, so I used Fancy Flexible Phrases to stamp "Love you Mom" on the tag. I hope she likes it!
