Today's SPS Daily Inspiration with Agnes- Card

welcome 

The Pumpkin Spice Blog

this is agnes and today is my turn to share with you a card project i made with mother's day in mind, after all Mother's Day is in two weeks.

  anyway, i want to wish you all a very

Happy Mother's Day.

(relax and relax and let them take you out for dinner, that is what i do anyway)

i made three 4 inches squared cards for today's inspiration. i was just thinking i better have some handy this year and not rush at the last moment to find or make one.

Most Loved Mom

4" square

for the the floral background and the banner i used a mother's love 6x6 pad from my my mind's eye. the banner i hand cut, the orange diecut behind the chipboard button was cut using a cricut cartridge. the chipboard button is also from my mind's eye (the sweetest thing collection).

my second card,

Happy Mother's Day

4" square

all the element of my card except the background paper are from the same  a mother's love paper pad from my mind's eye. the sentiment is from a retired clear stamp set from my pink stamper. i think you still can find some of her stamps here. the flower, frame and brackets are from sizzix dies.

and my last card, 

Mom

4" square

here i used an assortment of items: 

the photo corner and the speech bubble are from traditions from carta bella stickers. 

the wreath paper and border are  from a mother's love and the chipboard heart is from  the fourteen collection from crate paper. the white paper was embossed with my cuttlebug and the cloud embossing folder is from darice. the mom word on this card it is also from another my pink stamper set 

Freedom Rocks

all the products i used from the pumpkin spice shop have been linked for easy access.

this trio of mother's day cards are going to be handy in anyone's household, :)

i hope you like them and whatever you decide to make, do not forget to have fun with it. 

see you next turn around,

take care now and have a beautiful day no matter what!
