Mother's Day Cards

That's right everyone! Here is the post that I know you all have been looking forward to! These are the cards that I made for the very special Mother's in my life!

First up is the one that I made for my mother-in-law. She hasn't seen it yet because everytime I see her I seem to forget the card at home! =( But I am sure she will like it. She is a crazy plant lady so I made sure to put that love on this card.




Then I made sure to get a card sent out to a very special woman that gladly puts up with my Hubby and I eating all her food every third sunday! Ha Ha Ha This one was for my step mother-in-law and from what I hear she absolutely loved it. I'm glad! It was a great card to work on!




Now on to my mummzy! I am always careful to make sure that the cards I make for family and friends are a little personal, I enjoy adding things that they enjoy and on this one for my mom I added this great stamp of a Mommy horse and a Baby horse! My Mom loved it!




Last but most certainly not least is the card that I made for my amazing Super Hero sister-in-law! Her favorite color is Purple so I just knew that this was the card for her! Turns out I was right! She loved it!




Thank you for enjoying another fun, picture filled posting!

Cards #23 - #28

I have finished my wonderful order of 19 Birthday Cards! They all turned out amazing! I just can't believe what an amazing journey this all has been! Seriously, it was a crazy challenge but I loved pushing myself! Here are the last pictures of the cards that we ordered!

First up is a fun card for a woman, I got to use my new Stampin' Up Stamp set that I got about a month ago. I also used my sketchy birthday stamps. And a couple rhinestones here and there! Its one of my favorite cards!




Next up is a birthday card for a little boy. Its simple but super happy!



This next card is probably my all time favorite! I love the color green! It is compatable with so many other wonderful colors! Plus tri-fold cards are always a fun surprise! =)




Spring is amazing! It brings all the best colors! Bright blues, yellows, pale oranges, light green, white! The best part, they all love to mingle! These colors just love to party together!!




It was so fantastic to see the pleased look on my customers face! I love that my crafts can bring such joy to someone!
Thank you so much to all of you for fallowing my blog!

Cards #18 - #22

Yea!! I am so close to being done with this amazing order!! A dear friend of my Husband ordered a total of 19 birthday cards and I have been working hard to get them done. The progress is just amazing! I can't believe how fast all of this has been accomplished! Thank you all for fallowing me and my journey on completing my biggest order of single cards to date!

Well lets get to what you all came here to see, THE PICTURES!!! =)

First up today is a card for a man. I just love the colors! This is one of my favorite cards! Simple and lovely! The slight hint of blue is perfect! And who doesn't love stripes!


This is the inside of the card! Isn't it the cutest!


Next up was a fun project full of blues and greens! I love love love the little arrows! It really made the card! I used a rub-on and some dark blue rhinestones to complete this card! Its a perfect balance!




This card was a real treat to accomplish! I love Tag cards! They are great for any occasion and always look great with a gift! This one is for a young man so I chose darker colors, forest green, dark tan, black, grey, and just plain green. It turned out great! I love how well it all came together! My favorite brads are the rustic ones I used on this card! They just add to any project no matter the colors.





I love cats and I was so happy to be able to break out my favorite stamp set (Until I get the ones from Penny Black! I love her little animal stamps! *Especially the kitty ones!) and put them to good use on a card for a little girl! I just know she's gonna love it! Pink & Brown are always good together!


This is the inside of the card. The kitty face and "happy birthday" stamps are arched in the same direction so it was great to stack them!!


And the last that I completed today is for a woman and as usual I couldn't resist adding some glitter! Who honestly hates glitter?? Ha Ha Ha, I will never hate glitter! Ever! Again I used my favorite color combination of deep red also known as rustic red and chocolate. Those two colors go hand in hand! You can never go wrong with chocolate strawberries! (Well, you can if you want to give them to me. I hate strawberries! ^.^)

For the glitter flowers I just drew up a simple flower with pencil then pulled out my Disney CARS childrens glitter glue pack and found a color that would complement the Deep Red and Chocolate!

**That's right I said Disney CARS glitter glue pack! I was looking at the clearance craft rack at Walmart and seen they had this craft set that was meant for kids. I had a ton of glitter glue in it, in all sorts of colors! All for only 10$ I grabbed it and happily rushed to the counter to pay for it! I love finding great deals for such useful things! And, yes, I do realise that they really aren't meant for paper crafting but they work amazingly well and are alot cheaper then most glitter glue that is meant for paper crafting. I don't care that every stick has pictures of McQueen and Mater, or how childish they look on my scrapbooking desk, they were cheap & they work and that is all that matters to me!!
