We made 3 cards this month, 2 of which I’ll show here. I thought this cute Flower Pot card, which I’ve seen all over on different blogs and on Splitcoast, would be perfect for Mother’s Day. I saw one card that used these die cut flowers and thought it was the perfect time to bring them out and use them. They made the project so much easier. I textured some Summer Sun card stock with the polka dots to add to their centers. I followed the pattern for making the card here. I really like how easy this card was to make!
I LOVE designing square cards and since I love patterned paper so much, and especially the new Walk in the Park paper from the Occasions Mini, I designed this card. I first made it in these colors, but then realized that I didn’t have enough of that fantastic Baja Breeze satin ribbon for everyone in stamp club to be able to make it, so I changed up the papers, which also changed the colors, and came up with the next card. I’m not sure which one I like better! But I think it’s pretty neat that you can get both completely different looks with one package of paper! These cards measure 5″ x 5″.
Thanks for stopping by today! We are having fantastic weather and I hope you are, too!

Lucky Club Members Jackie! Beautiful projects. Have to admit that the So Saffron (can’t get away with just saying yellow any more now that I’m a demo can I -lol!) square card is my fav of the two since the colors really pop. But then I’ve been in love with that color since I discovered SU 3 years ago. It just happens to match my favorite tee shirt/blouse that always gets me compliments (silly catalog company calls it sunflower yellow but we really know it’s so saffron he, he,he).
Thanks for sharing…
Hugs and blessings – Jean

Love your flower pot card. If my Mothers day card doesn’t work, this is what I will try.
As for the square card, I love the Baja ribbon (have some myself) but the papers on the second card are pretty wonderful…I couldn’t pick a favorite.
