Brenda’s beautiful blue Morning Glories card uses layering stencils and blending with ink pads to create a wide border. Overtop she added a panel of scalloped die cut vellum and then the large stamped blue sentiment that’s been die cut. She continued the scallop with a thin white frame around the edges and there’s some yellow gems to compliment the flower centers. Learn more at The Ton blog.

Channin’s amazing Mother’s Day card has so much depth and dimension! She used layered flower dies with soft pastel inks and then added wax paste over top for some subtle shine, then added a graphic black transfer sheet for a very unique pattern. There’s also an oval die cut frame in the center with ink blended purple die cut and heat embossed mixed sentiment. Find all the details at the Hero Arts blog.
Mindy’s lovely floral card features a bold background and large sentiment. On a white cardstock base she used layering stencils and bright colors of ink, using gradient blending with the color darker in some areas for depth. Over top she stamped a large word background in white ink several times and then added the stamped and die cut title. Watch her video tutorial on the Mindy Eggen Designs blog.
Bea’s wonderful card design is sort of like a half gate fold, with a section that folds over with a “belt” flap over top, it’s a really cool design! She used layers of cardstocks and pretty pink pattern papers with the darling stamped lady holding a big bunch of flowers that she colored using Copic Markers. Find step by step and video instructions for this card on the Unity Stamp blog.
Sharon had a tea cup stamp that she wanted to fill with flowers so she used a masking technique and did just that for this beautiful Mother’s Day card. I love all the layers of papers and notice how she took color inspiration from the pattern papers to Copic color her images but used slightly darker tones so they really pop! Take a closer look at the Art Impressions blog.
Include images your mom loves and frame them on a card for a very custom design. Here Cathy stenciled a cup of coffee and a bouquet of flowers in soft pastel colors and framed them with pretty frames stamped and then embossed in gold embossing powder. She carried the gold over into the die cut sentiment and a few gold gems too. Watch her video tutorial on the CZ Designs blog.
Wow, how stunning is this floral card from Arjita!? She stamped the image and used watercolor to color in and it looks like it came right out of a nature book. Notice how she offset the flowers leaving some “white” space with the faux stitched Kraft panel showing in the background, there’s also a stamped and die cut sentiment over the flowers too. I spotted her idea on the Gina K. Instagram page.
Present your Mom with a trophy (card, that is) letting her know she’s the best in the world! Amy used a card kit that included pre-printed images and sentiments for this quick and easy design. Find this and more cards created with this kit from Stampin’ Up on the Stamp with Amy K. blog.
This amazing design has a dry embossed floral panel on the base with a layer gold gold behind. Then there’s the frame with the gold edge with a gold foiled sentiment and all the stunning flowers. The flowers were die cut from white cardstock with ink blending added for color and depth. I came across this card on Spellbinders Instagram page.
Jaycee gorgeous card uses a large die cut letter for a monogram, surrounded by flowers in rich colors. He used a mix of coral and orange inks to blend and some paint splatter for amazing realistic flowers. I love the subtle watermark background and the soft heat embossed sentiment!
