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.
Mother's Day Card for Sarah
Stamps: Karen’s Doodles Flower Girl
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Pacific Point, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose
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.
Mother's Day Card for Julia
Stamps: Phindy’s Place Beary Beautiful; Hero Arts CL052 Clear Design May (sentiment)
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White; Wild Wasabi, Close to Cocoa
Designer Paper: Stampin’ Up Prints Certainly Celery, Pink Flamingo
Ink: Dell printer; Stampin’ Up Close to Cocoa
Accessories: Paper Studio yellow paper flowers; The Beadery 9mm Crystal Acrylic Stones; Stampin’ Up Chocolate Chip 15/16″ satin ribbon
Tools: Prismacolor colored pencils; Stampin’ Up Key Tag Punch
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.

I like the furry friend picture. I remember getting hugged like that when I was a kid and trying to squirm away.
All three cards are beautiful! Thanks for playing at The Sweet Stop.
Awww…I’m so happy to yellow on your card, such a cheery card! Loving your embellies and papers and really good job coloring!
Thank you so much for playing with us at Phindy’s, I truly hope we’ll see you next week too!

Terrific job, Jennifer! So glad to see you at Phindy’s Place this week!
Love them all but Julia’s is, of course, my fav! Thank you for joining us this week at The Phindy’s Place Challenge.
All three cards are wonderful, but the House Mouse one for OCC is so totally sweet and adorable! It is perfect for the Mother’s Day/no flowers challenge. So glad you could have fun with us this week with Our Creative Corner.
I love them all, but Sarah’s is my favorite! She does need a little girly stuff in her life. 🙂
