Purple Layered Bouquet Mother's Day Cards

Today I am sharing more Layered Bouquet Mother's Day cards. I seriously stamped a big pile of pink and purple bouquets and went to town making cards! These are very similar to yesterday's pink cards. 

For today's purple cards I used Altenew inks. The blooms are stamped in Soft Lilac and Lavender Fields. The leaves are stamped in Leafy and Mossy inks from The Stamp Market. The background was die cut from Lilac Grace card stock with the Pierced Plaid Cover die, also from The Stamp Market. The sentiment is a retired Papertrey Ink set called Keep it Simple: Mother, stamped onto a Tag Sale Quilted die. To add some dimension I used Jennifer McGuire's trick of layering die cuts. I had a couple of bouquets that didn't stamp well, so I glued them underneath! Both the bouquet and sentiment strip have three layers glued together. 

This card is stamped in the same inks. The background was die cut with Pinkfresh Studio's Essentials: Diagonal Stitched Plaid die, trimmed down to leave a white border. The bouquet is layered onto an Intricate Mandala die cut. 

Here are the last two purple cards. 

This time I layered the bouquet onto a Delicate Doilies die cut from vellum. 

These last flowers were stamped in slighter darker purple shades. I used Lavender Fields and Deep Iris. I stenciled directly onto a top folding notecard with the Diagonal Plaid stencil to create the background. This sentiment is also from Keep it Simple: Mother. This simple design was one of my favorites! I also used the Flappable Stencil from The Greetery to embellish each of the envelope flaps. 

As I said before, I stamped a big pile of the Layered Bouquets, but I don't really like to mass produce the same thing over and over again, so I enjoyed making each one slightly different!

Pink Layered Bouquet Mother's Day Cards

 

I am making Mother's Day cards for all of the moms and mentor moms in my church moms's group. We have been entirely virtual for over a year now so I wanted to send them each something personal to stay connected and hopefully brighten their day. I used lots of Pinkfresh Studio supplies on these, including more of the Layered Bouquet set I used in yesterday's card. 

I stamped the blooms in Pale Peony and Hibiscus Burst inks. The leaves are stamped in Leafy and Mossy. For this card I layered the bouquet on an Essentials: Braided Circles die cut. The pink layer was die cut from Pale Peony card stock with the Essentials: Diagonal Stitched Plaid cover die. I trimmed it down to leave a white border. The sentiment is from a retired Papertrey Ink set called Keep it Simple: Mother, stamped onto a Tag Sale Quilted die cut. 

This card is much simpler, with the bouquet adhered directly onto the card front. To create the background I blended Pale Peony ink directly onto the card base with just the first layer of the Diamond Plaid stencil. The sentiment is again from Keep it Simple: Mother. 

This card is much like the first, except the Essentials: Diagonal Stitched Plaid die was cut from white card stock, and the flowers were layered onto an Intricate Mandala die cut from vellum. The plaid die cut is also popped up with foam adhesive underneath. Also, I used the Flappable Stencil from The Greetery to decorate each of the envelope flaps. These were so fun to make! I loved cutting a big pile of blooms and then changing each card slightly to make them each unique. I'll have more cards to share later this week!

Layered Bouquets for Mother's Day

I'm getting a head start on making my Mother's Day cards this year. These ones use a beautiful floral set from Pinkfresh Studio called Layered Bouquet. 

The flowers and leaves are each just two steps so this large bouquet stamped up very quickly! For the flowers I used Pink Pirouette and Pale Peony inks. The leaves are stamped in Mossy and Leafy inks. 

The flowers are matted on a Delicate Doilies die cut from Stamper's Select White card stock. The doily has a circle of fun foam adhered behind it to add dimension.

The sentiment is from a retired Papertrey Ink stamp set called Keep it Simple: Mother, stamped in Pale Peony ink onto the banner portion of a Quilted Tag Sale die cut. The banner is also popped up with foam tape. 

Let's talk about the gingham background for a moment. It's made with the Square Dance Stencils from The Greetery and I am in love with how it turned out! Using a fairly light hand I blended Worn Lipstick ink for the darker portion and Spun Sugar ink for the lighter parts. I think it is so pretty! Finally, the stenciled panel was trimmed down with the largest Crimped Frame die. 

And here it is in yellow! I don't normally do yellow but I really like how sunny and cheerful it turned out.

The yellow flowers were stamped in Barely Banana and Daffodil Delight inks. The background was stenciled with More Mustard and Squeezed Lemonade distress oxide inks. 

These were a joy to make and actually turned out how I had planned in my head. That never happens! Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
