Mother's Day and Birthday Cards

Hello! There's still time to make Mother's Day Cards!  And today just happens to be my only Granddaughter's 14th birthday too!  So I'm sharing two cards today!
The first is a Mother's Day card. I used Kreaxions Punch #307 to create the borders on this card.  Before I adhered the punched piece to the front of the card, I colored the punched out parts and the edges with a gold pen.  Then I added a flower that I just ran a pen over and added a big rhinestone to, wrote my sentiment and outlined it with 2 different pens and added the pearls.  Sounds hard but it was SUPER easy!

My other card today is the birthday card I made for my Granddaughter. I used Kreaxions Punch #307, the Kreaxions Circle Cutter and Stencil B to create the doily to which I added a flower and a big rhinestone for the center.  Before I adhered the doily to the front of the card, I colored the punched out parts and the edges with a gold pen.  Once I adhered the card I went around the outer edges of the whole edge with a regular tip gold pen.  I wrote the sentiment (which could easily be Happy Mother's Day, Thank You, Get Well, etc).  The top and bottom banners are cut-away pieces from the Mother’s Day card.

I hope you've enjoyed these cards today!  Please be sure to hug your Moms a little harder if they're still with you.  Two and one half years ago the night before Mother's Day my Mom got very, very ill and was rushed to the hospital.  That's when we found out she had the cancer and 4 months later she was gone...  I miss her SOOOOOOOO MUCH!  Especially on days like Mother's Day.  I hope you have a Happy Mother's Day and Happy Punching!
