As soon as I saw this darling image by Sarah Jane at Sj’s Little Musings, I knew this was the image for the mother’s day card for my Mom. Obviously, I am well past the age of actually sitting in my mommy’s lap cuddling, but hopefully this card gives her warm fuzzy feelings inside. This card and the next are both 5.5-inch square easel cards. I really like how the style of the card allows for displaying the card.

You might recognize this next card as I posted it not that long ago without a sentiment for part of my design team call entry. At the time, I said I didn’t know what sentiment I wanted to use, but that was a little white lie. I had this card in mind for mother-in-law for mother’s day the entire time I was making the card.

This year I decided that in addition to my mother and mother-in-law, I would make mother’s day cards for my sister and sisters-in-law.

This first card is for my sister whose favorite color is blue. Sarah is the mother of our two sweet little nephews Cameron and Trevor, so I figured she needed a girly girl card. I used Jen del Muro’s Sketch for You to Try and a sweet flower girl digi stamp I picked up for free by being a member of Karen’s Doodles group at Paper Craft Planet.

Designer Paper: Stampin’ Up Good Morning Sunshine
Ink: Dell printer
Accessories: Doodlebug sparkly blue brads; The Beadery 9mm Crystal Acrylic Stones; dimensionals
Markers: Stampin’ Up Regal Rose (handwritten sentiment)
Tools: Prismacolor colored pencils; Marvy Uchida flower punch (used twice)

The second card is for my brother’s wife whose favorite color is green. Julia will be celebrating her first mother’s day (if you don’t count last year when she was pregnant) as the mother of our sweet little niece Aspen. I will be hand-delivering this one at our playdate today. This 5.5-inch square card uses my favorite Phindy image and thus meets the Phindy’s Place Friday Challenge #3. I picked up my two Phindy digi-stamps from being a member of Phindy’s Place group on Paper Craft Planet. I used The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #54 to put it all together. I really really like how it turned out.

The third card is for my husband’s sister. Tami will be celebrating with our nine-year-old nephew Dawson. I don’t know what Tami’s favorite color is so hopefully she likes the pink and brown scheme I chose for the All That Scraps Challenge #27. It also meets the requirements of this week’s Our Creative Corner challenge to make a mother’s day card with no flowers and A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #102 to use a furry friend on your card.
