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.     CARD 619











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... 
CARD 620









  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.     CARD 621








   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.     CARD 622








   This card is for Santy's sister (my cousin) ELI. I love the cherry blossoms!!! Fun, fun!!   CARD 623








   This card is for Santy's aunt TERESA. I gave her a pink and green color scheme. Love those flowers!   CARD 624








  This one is for Santy's friend ZORAYA.  I couldn't figure out who to give this one too because I wove it. The ribbon, lace, beads and button... love it!!!   CARD 625








   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!   CARD 626







Hopefully everyone will like their cards!!!! Can't wait to get feedback!

Birthday Cards Bunch!

A few weeks ago I was asked to make two birthday cards for one of my favorite customers, Becky. She gave me some pointers on what each of the two people like: her mother and sister. I decided I would make extra cards so that Becky had enough to choose from. She picked the last two cards below. The first three are for sale on my ETSY page.

For this card I made a doily shaped easel. I used string beads around the edges and DCWV DP. The flowers are from my stash and so is the cupcake embellie. The cardstock is bazzill bubblegum pink. This was the first card I made and a lot of fun! You can find this card for sale on my ETSY page.

CARD 612











  For this easel card I wanted to try something different besides square or doily. So I looked through my Cricut cartridges and thankfully found a square tag shape. I really love how this card came out. It's my favorite out of all five. The image is Lily of the Valley, my new favorite stamping store. The two girls are sitting on a wall, just hanging out. I imagine they're sisters. The DP is DCWV, the flowers are WOC. I used the ladder ribbon and beaded ribbon from my stash. The buttons are from my stash as well. This card is for sale on my ESTY page.
CARD 613











   This card was the doily shape. I used a Lili of the Valley cute card for my image in front. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts (love them! They have the best flowers!) I wanted to use a lot of white in this card so I went with a white Bazzill cardstock. This card is for sale on my ETSY page.
CARD 614











  For this card, again I used the tag shape for  my easel. I tried to go with a brown and blue color scheme but threw in some yellow and white with the ribbon. The flowers are from my stash, the cupcake DP is from DCWV. I  made the cupcake using my Cricut. This is the card Becky picked.  
CARD 615











    This is the last card I made. For this I also used a doily shape for the easel. I tried to use similar colors in the DP and the flowers.  I can't remember the name if the DP, it wasn't DCWV, it was someone else. The flowers are from my stash.  I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. But I can't adding things and when I was finished I looked at it and was like, "Wow! Didn't think it would come out this good!" Lol! This is the other card Becky picked.
