Mother's Day is around the corner...

...which is why I'm still making Mother's Day cards.

Here are a couple more I'll share with you today.


This card looks so delicate and pretty IRL. The pink band and the butterfly (MS punch) are both vellum. I heat embossed the sentiment and added a pearl to my butterfly.

My flower is an unbranded die with a pearl cluster added to its center. I bought a slew of these pearl clusters at least three years ago, thinking I'd use them often. They're pretty, but they add a significant "bump" to my card which requires extra postage, so I don't use them as often as I thought I would!







On the inside of my card I printed a sentiment with my computer and added a couple of tiny butterflies (Fiskars punch). The two butterfly punches that I used on this card get LOTS of use.


Here's another card using bold-colored cardstock that has some gold foil polka dots as a background for its floral pattern. It really is pretty.

I used a Spellbinder's fancy oval die for my sentiment and added a flower sticker from my stash that matched some of the flowers on the cardstock.

The fancy corner die-cuts were made with a Cheery Lynn die. I haven't used my corner dies in a long time, so I thought it was time to put them back to work.

To dress up my computer-generated sentiment on the inside, I fussy-cut one of the flowers on the cardstock and adhered it to a corner.

Since today is my oldest sister's birthday, I want to say,

Happy Birthday, Pat!

You can see the card I made for her here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

  1. I love both of your cards, Cheryl! I know what you mean about the "bump." I don't use many pearls for just that reason.

  2. Both are lovely. The intricate die cuts make a card so pretty. I have a bunch of pearls too. I was using them a lot until a friend showed me how much the envelope was damaged from mailing. It is not very convenient to go to the post office to get hand stamped.

  4. Love the floral floral die and you are right about the embellishment in the center of the flower - always wonder if it made it without getting torn up.
