Mother's Day Peony

 

FS999 - This week's Featured Stamper is called Blast From the Past. We have a selection of artist. I was inspired by FS101 Jaydekay - INSPIRATION.

For my card, I drew inspiration from the large flowers in the challenge and reached for this Honey Bee Stamps peony die. I cut all the layers from white cardstock and blended pinks and yellows onto the petals, with greens and soft yellows on the leaves.

The designer paper was a Christmas gift from my mother‑in‑law, and it felt perfect for creating a Mother’s Day card just for her. I paired it with a grey cardstock layer and a clean white card base, then arranged the peonies across the panel. A scattering of pink gems adds a bit of sparkle, and the Mother’s Day sentiment is popped up on dimensionals to finish the design with a little lift.

FS993 - this week's incredibly gifted featured stamper ntowry (Nancy). Here is my INSPIRATION.

I drew inspiration from her beautiful single bloom and reached for this rose from Sweet N Sassy. I stamped it on white cardstock, colored it with Copics, then trimmed it into a square and layered it over yellow cardstock for a soft pop of contrast.

Instead of using a full strip behind the rose, I switched things up with two banners and added a bit of sponging to bring out their edges.

To finish the card, I popped the sentiment up on dimensionals and added a few gems for a touch of sparkle.

Water Lily

FS990 - this week's amazing, featured stamper is Barbarayaya (aka Barbara) - I found this INSPIRATION.

For my card, I drew inspiration from the beautiful blue blended background and chose a blue water‑themed designer paper as my starting point. I die cut the layered water lilies from Honey Bee Stamps, adding touches of pink to a few petals for extra depth.

After assembling the blooms, I arranged them over the water paper and accented the scene with green candy dots to echo the lily pads. The card is finished with a Happy Mother’s Day sentiment popped up on dimensionals for a clean, elevated look.

FS975 - This week's featured stamper is Carrie3427. I found this INSPIRATION.

I was drawn to the whimsical feel of the flowers, so I pulled out a stencil from The Ton. Using several Distress Oxide inks, I blended color through the stencil and then added black Stickles to the flower centers for extra detail.

The layout provided the perfect space to showcase this Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from Heartfelt Creations.

APR24VSNG - If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I also made a Mother's Day card. For the outside, I used the Creek Bank Creations Happy Flappy Card Base die rather than an oval. It creates a flap that opens on the front of the card.

The sunflowers is a stencil from The Ton and once the flowers were stenciled, I added stickles to them.

On the inside of the flap, the sentiment says it is a Hug when you pull the tab. I really love this pull tab and plan to make a few more cards with it.

For this delightful creation, I adorned the card base with charming pink polka dots.

Following that, I meticulously colored a darling teacup using copic markers and carefully fussy-cut it, elevating it with dimensionals for added depth.

To complete the ensemble, I stamped a sweet Mother's Day sentiment in matching pink, delicately punched it out, and elevated it with dimensionals. A scattering of sparkling gems adds the perfect finishing touch.

CAS786 - Add some sparkle

For my card, I used this great floral image from DRS Designs. It is actually a tree branch and I wanted just the flowers. To get just the flowers, I stamped the image on acetate then created a mask where the branch would stamp. I then put the mask under the acetate to make sure it was in the right place and then removed the acetate. I then stamped the flowers to the card stock.

Next, I used a heart stencil to draw the heart and then I stamped the sentiment in the heart.

The flowers were colored with copics and finished with chunky glitter stickles.
