Santy's Mother Day Cards, Part 1

Recently, my cousin Santy asked me to make 12 Mother's Day cards for him. Each would be for a specific relative/ friend. The first 8 were international orders so I made those promptly. The last four are for relatives in the same city where I live so I have more time to make those.

This card I made for Santy's wife SONIA. Since Santy gave me free rein to use any design for the cards, I decided to make Sonia's an easel card. The shape is actually doily. The sentiment inside is from a spanish poem I  found online.

This next card is for Santy's mom, LUCY (my aunt). Again I went with the easel card, although this one is tag shaped. I incorporated another spanish poem and flowers and sweet thangssss...

This next card is for mine and Santy's aunt SARITA. She's the best aunt ever!!! I really like how this one came out with the circled letters and the lace and flowers.

 This one is for Santy's Godchild's mom. I don't know how to say that in English but in Spanish it's Comadre. Her name is TANIA and she is married to one of Santy's best friends Byron. I really like the pink and brown color scheme and the flowers. The next three are sort of similar but with different color schemes. I really liked making these.

 Finally, the last of the international batch goes to... Santy's Mother-in-Law: SARA. Really love this one too. I'm not a fan of the paisley design but I really like this one. It's very cute!

A Wedding Card And A Sympathy Card

This is a wedding card I made for my cousin Lizbeth. She got married in March. I knew lavender was part of her color scheme so I tried to incorporate it in the card. This is a tag-shaped easel card. The last picture was taken the day of the wedding and my camera lens was super blurry so that's why that picture looks foggy in some places. The stamp I used is a cute card (big size) from Lili of the Valley. I really love that place. The circular stamp is also from Lili of the Valley. The flowers are Wild Orchid.  Ribbons, swirl gems, and the lace are from my stash.

One of my dad's neighbors from his shop passed away recently so my dad asked me to make a sympathy card for him to give to his neighbor's family.
