Mother's day cards



The first two use the same pattern. This is for my neice.

This one is for my daughter-in-law


Two different designs. The top 2 have both flat and raised flowers cut from the background paper. They are for my step mother-in-law and my step mother. The bottom 2 are for my daughter and one of my sisters. Hers is actually a mother-to-be card. She is expecting in Oct.



The next 2 use the same style. This one for my sister. The tulips are cut from a card I received several years ago from the aforementioned sister.


This one is for my Mom. She loves yellow roses. These aren't yellow but a cream color. I have saved these for a while to make something for her.

April Anniversary




3 variations of the same card using different papers. For my son and daughter-in-law, niece and her husband, sister and brother-in-law.

May Anniversary



The photo does not do this one justice. I can't seem to get the flash right. This is for my sister and brother-in-law. I used various papers and trims to make the cake. Then added a rose for the finishing touch.


Another example of the tri-fold card. This one as Anniversary for my father-in-law and his wife.

May Birthdays



This is a pattern that I use often for birthdays , anniversaries and baby cards. This one is for my neighbor.


This is one of the inside pages of the above tri-fold card.


The inside.


This isn't a card due to the size of the flowers that I had saved for my daughter's birthday. She puts cards that I make her under the glass of her desk. She could do that or frame this one.
