Mother's Day Bouquet Cards

When I can sit down and devote some serious hours to a project, paper crafting is definitely tops on my list. As a little girl, I was obsessed with paper and stickers. I used to ride my bike to the local stationery store all the time and just gawk at the gigantic rolls of stickers and racks upon racks of beautiful printed paper. Pretty much every cent of my allowance was spent at that store. I didn't really do anything with my stash of treasures other than just stare at it once I got it home. Back then, my funds were pretty limited so I didn't dare peel any of those precious stickers from their backing paper and gasp...actually make something with them.

Nowadays, ummmmm...things pretty much haven't changed except that I'm trying to keep the hoarding in check. I've gotten to the point when I only go to the craft store if I have something specific to buy. I've gotten myself into too much trouble when I stop in "just to look around". My goal is to try and use what I've got.

Well, I'm proud to say I created these cute mother's day cards and didn't have to spend a cent! And I think they turned out pretty well. No stickers on these but I just love the glittered daisy embellishments. It gives the card a whole 3D effect.













And there you have it...simple yet beautiful. The daisy embellishment came with these pretty fugly looking fasteners so opted to just use a little tacky glue to adhere them to the card and covered the hole in the flower center with a mini rhinestone.

I can't wait to give these to the special moms in my life tomorrow. It's pretty much in mom DNA to appreciate anything handmade....even those gross ashtrays that we all made in art class. Happy Mother's Day Everyone!
