Another Mother's Day Post

Here is another Mother's Day card that I sent to OWH last week.  

Mother's Day Doily Card

I have used this design with half of a doily before with several different sentiments - Thank you, Birthday, Thinking of you, etc.

OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge - Mother's Day

Hi all !  I have been so busy I have not had a chance to post many creations lately.  I have been working on my box of Half Mother's Day Cards / Half General Cards to send to OWH very soon. Right now my total count is 50.


I have several Mother's Day cards to share with you today, in addition to the ones that I have posted in previous challenges.


#1) I have always liked yellow roses, so this is a favorite DCWV paper, from one of the 6x6 pads. The plaid yellow is from the same pad. 

MOM - yellow roses

I used EK Border punches on yellow card stock and textured white card stock for the layers.  The sheer yellow ribbon was purchased by the yard at our local variety store. I cut the word 'mom' with my Craft Robo.  


I have used this design with pink roses and red roses and changed the sentiment for whatever occasion I needed.

#2) Believe it or not, I designed this next card while riding in the car on the way to visit my husband's aunt in Marietta, GA! 

I took my bag of basic scrapbook/card making tools. We stopped at a couple of craft and scrapbook stores between home in SC and Marietta, GA. I picked up a few interesting pieces of paper and could not wait to start making cards, even while winding through the mountains of NE GA.

MOTHER - Botanique

I purchased the ribbon from Michael's dollar bin first, just because I thought it was interesting. I had no idea that the next place I visited would have paper that matched so perfectly !!

The paper is American Crafts Botanique series - Elanor is the floral design and Greta is the smaller print. I used the solid colors on the reverse of each print too. I regret that I purchased only one sheet of each.  

The sentiment is from Little Yellow Bicycle delight*ful collection D-232. I added three tiny gemstones on the sentiment banner.

OWH Mid Week Throwdown Challenge - Mother's Day

#1)  I downloaded the free OWH Mother's Day color digi for my first card.

A card for Mother

The DP is from K&Company Wild Saffron pad. I thought that the colors in the digi and the paper went well together. I used cardstock, ribbon purchased by the yard and gems from my stash. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

#2) My second card utilizes patterned paper from an old Scrapbook Wizard paper pad I picked up on sale a long time ago.

Happy Mother's Day

The embossing folder is Paper Studio Geo Squares. Sentiment is Studio G.  Again,  I used cardstock, ribbon purchased by the yard and gems from my stash. My husband asked for one of these cards for his mom.


I have more ideas for Mother's Day cards, so I will be posting more as I work on cards to send for the OWH Mother's Day Challenge.

Thank you for stopping by!!!

OWH VCMP Challenge #13: Embossing

This is my submission for the OWH VCMP Challenge #13: Embossing.

Happy Mother's Day

Embossing Folder:  Quickutz Geometric Circles
Patterned Paper:  American Crafts Botanique
Ribbon:  Offray
Stamp:  Studio G


At first, I did not like this embossing folder or buy it when I saw it.  I could not imagine how I would use it.  When I found this paper, I was inspired and went out to buy the embossing folder.


I first designed this card for my daughter-in-law in a set of thank you cards that I made as a Christmas gift for her. I changed the sentiment for Mother's Day.
