Mother's Day Cards!

Since Mother's Day is quickly approaching, I decided to break out my Cricut and create some fun and inexpensive (well free since I already had everything on hand) cards for the mother's in my life. For all of the following cards I used my Serenade cartridge.

I started with some blank cards that I had:



First, I cut out 4" trees with shadow


Then I put them together with some small brown embellishments that I found in my sticker box


I thought this was still a little plain, so I jazzed it up with some brown dash marks



Then I went on to the inside. I found a cute motherly quote and added this along with a little bird


Then once the creative juices got flowing I went ahead and did a couple more:







While I had the Cricut out I also decided to do a small gift for my mom. She loves to use the plastic "to go" style cup, so I wanted to customize one for her. Using vinyl I cut out her name and adhered it to the cup. Add a cute flower and you have a great gift!
Here I am using transfer tape to line up the letters of her name


And here is the final product
