Mother's Day Cards

Maybe it is because I am a mother or because I have a great mother but I love mother's day! Between my husband and I we are lucky enough to have 2 moms, a stepmom and 2 grandmothers...that is pretty awesome! So this past week I have been pretty busy card making, my dads birthday is this week also(post on his card to come)!

This first card is for my mom. I chose purple because that is what I see when I think of my mom and I loved the elegance of this argyle.
I used some stickers I found in my collection to spell out mom
   
and these cute little flowers selaed the deal..hehe
       
"Recipe"
Stickers: Francis Meyer
Everything is cut at 4.5"
all paper is from my "stash"





This card I did for both my grandmother and Jason's...it might be one of my favorites!
I loved this patterned paper (The Paper Studio) and have been looking for a reason to use it
This card is trifold of sorts but with that flower as a fold it is less than tranditional
I found 2 of these sentiments in a "Quote Stack" by DCWV

This envelope is so cute and using the liner to accent that cute branch is the perfect peek when the recipient gets this card

This sticker I found is makes a great address label
"Recipe"
Everything is cut at 6"
Patterned Paper: The Paper Studio
Sentiment: DCWV "Quote Stack" vellum
Adress label and solid paper is from "my stash"

 

These 2 very similar cards were made for my m-i-l and my stepmom.
I wish I had made the grass green but without making the envelope in green also and then cutting the grass off and gluing it to this one I had no idea what to do :(
