Sweet Mother's Day

It's that time to get started on Mother's Day Cards ~ it's really not that far away.  So here is the first one that I thought that I'd share with you.  And just in time too because I got quite a stash of paper from Betty.  Stampin' Up is having a sale if you go to the web site and click on clearance you can get some really good deals!!  Go check it out HERE...

Anyway, wanna know about the card?  Sure you do, that's why your here...

The base card is Barely Banana that I layered with Blush Blossom and Georgia Peach DP.  I took a piece of Blush Blossom and stamped Happy Mothers Day in Regal Rose ink on it.  I then layered a piece of Pretty in Pink paper behind it that I used my scallop edge punch on.  I paper pierced some holes and added a length of Rose Red ribbon to it before I adhered it to the card.  I then stamped some flowers from the Friendship Blooms set with Regal Rose ink and cut them out.  I added a jewel brad to them and adhered them to the card.  A little stickles and I was done.  It was a quick card, but I think that it's pretty.

I was browsing thru the SCS gallery the other day and I saw a card similar to this one and had to make it.  Have you ever tried to case a card and it does not come out the same ~ well this is one of those times. 

I used a linen card stock that I've had for a while as a base.  I stamped the Medallion stamp on a piece of Purely Pomegranate with the coordinating ink and cut it in half.  I then ran a piece of Basic Black thru the  cuttlebug with my swiss dots folder and punched the edge with my punch.  I took a scrap of the Purely Pomegranate and punched that also and added under the black piece.  I added a length of ribbon to all of it and then adhered it to the card.  After I added it to the card I wanted a little something extra so I added the stickles to it for a little more of a punch.  The sentiment was stamped in Purely Pomegranate ink and it was also from SU! but I forgot which set it is, sorry...

I hope you like what you see today ~ and that it inspires you!  Have a super great day!!
