March, April, May and June cards

Wow!!! I can't beleive the last time I posted was EASTER!!!!! I have been making cards but have been so busy that I haven't had the time to share any.
April Anniversary for my son and daughter-in-law. Drawn and colored, then layered with ribbon embelishment.

April birthday for my grandson. Drawn and colored, cut and mounted with foam tape. The wheels are buttons. He had a skating party.

April anniversary for a neice. Letters drawn freehand then cut from cover. A piece of colored paper is added behind that is attached with foam tape. Button heart .

Another April anniversary for my sister.

Drawn and colored in with pen and pencil. A Mother's Day card for another sister.

My step- Mother's birthday is so close to Mother's day that I usually combine the 2 in one card

For my Mom on Mother's Day. Two layers of the drawn flowers. One on paper and one on velum. The layers are joined with the ribbon at the top.

May Anniversary for my sister and brother-in-law celebrating 30 years! Vintage button at top. Again a stencil type for the letters that were drawn and cut.

May birthday for a grand-neice. Ribbon and trim scraps and a lady bug that has been waiting for the perfect place for a few years.

May anniversary for my father-in-law and step mother-in-law

May birthday for my daughter. Gift is made from doodles.

Mother's day cards. I made 9 of these in various colors and prints. The flowers are made from felt, pipecleaners and buttons. The front layer of paper has two slices making a place to thread the stem through.




April birthday for a neice. Drawn and colored in.

Another April birthday for another neice

April birthday for my Daughter-in-law

March birthday for my son. Par-tay is cut by hand and matted before attaching with foam tape.

April birthday for my brother-in-law. Circles cut from front and the patterened papers attached behind. Hand lettering

March birthday for a neice.
Another flower for Mother's day
April birthady for my husband's cousin

Father's day for my father-in-law and a nephew-in-law

May birthday card for my brother. The speckled paper at the bottom is made by spritzing with water and then sprinkling  cake  sprinkles on top and spritzing again. Let dry and remove sprinkles.

For my Dad

For my brother-in-law

For my son. I think this is a "cool" idea! Bomb is cut from the inside of an envelope saved  from a Christmas card. These letters are attached with foam squares. The bomb pop has been sanded on the edges.

June birthday for a grand-neice. She will be 6. The accent trim of green and pink was cut from the edges of a biscuit label. I love to "up-cycle"!!
