Hello! I've got one last set of cards to share this month using the new Be Bold Release from Simon Says Stamp - the other posts have been building my birthday card stash, but today I'm switching to Mother's Day cards. While this year will be a bittersweet Mother's Day - since my mom passed a couple weeks ago, and it will be my first one without her - I still have so many wonderful women in my life that have filled that roll in some way over the years as my mom's Parkinson's and the associated dementia slowly stole her away. So while there was a sadness while I finished these cards, there is also so much thankfulness for each and every woman in my life - and fellow mothers who understand just how wonderful and hard the role of being a mother is!
For these cards I used the new Pretty Petals set, and since I used my MISTI to stamp them, I lined everything up and stamped in a few color combos. I figure once you've done the work, it only takes a few seconds more to stamp a few times and end up with even more cards. I love how fun it is to try different color combos! I then die cut them with the coordinating die, curled up the edges slightly, and adhered to a white cardbase with liquid glue, so there was a tiny bit of dimension, but not a ton of foam layers. I let the stems hang off the edges slightly, then trimmed the excess off. I stamped the sentiments, then popped those up with foam adhesive - had to have a tiny bit of dimension on there, right? I also rounded off one corner for interest, then finished off with a few fun ombre pearl embellishments from Honey Bee stamps - so cute, and they matched perfectly! Here are more photos of the finished cards:
