Mother's Day Cards

I love spring, the flowers, the warmth (well, we went right to summer last week), the newness of life. Mother's Day cards are just so much fun to do. Pretty paper, a cute stamp, some ribbon and a nice card.

I tried something new. I sewed this pocket. I cute the paper in 4.25" strip and then folded and cut a small part off one side. The stamping was simple but I did emboss it so it has a nice look. (I found my heat it when I was home and brought it back. I have a 110V converter so I use it with that). I did use pop dots to make it stick out a bit.

I had a yard of the yellow ribbon but used most of it so it might be time for a trip to the fabric area.
