Mother's Day Cards

Another friend asked me to make two Mother's Day cards - one for her mother and one for her mother-in-law.  I made the two cards somewhat similar but different.  This first card is for her mother:


Of course, I used my Papertrey Quatrefoil die in the background.  I added flowers from Heartfelt Creations "Daisy Patch" die set, and the sentiment is done with Spellbinders Labels Six dies (first time used).  For a little pop, I added platinum Liquid Pearls around the outer edge of the sentiment labels.


Her mother likes owls, so I was able incorporate one standing on a tree branch, popped up on the inside of the card.  The owl is a digital image, "Hooty Owl," from Scrappin Doodles, and the tree branch and leaves are dies from My Favorite Things.  The pop-up is from Papertrey.  The "Happy Mother's Day" stamp is from Lil' Inker Designs.  I colored the owl with Copic markers and adhered some large googly eyes.

The next card is for her husband to send to his mother:


His mother was born in Brazil, so Portuguese is her native language.  We believe this is Happy Mother's Day in Portuguese (or close to it).  Once again, I used the Papertrey Quatrefoil background die, and added the same "Daisy Patch" flowers from Heartfelt Creations.  The sentiment is stamped and die cut with Papertrey's "Celebration" set.


His mother likes lady bugs, so I used Taylored Expressions "Bugabee Bugs" dies adhered onto the Papertrey spiral die.  The sentiments are on Spellbinders Oval Scalloped dies.  The "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment is from Taylored Expressions "Make it Amazing" stamp set.
