A Simple Mother's Day Card

Hi, Carolyn here with my Mother's Days cards that I created and sent to family members this year.

My TIP: keep the card simple.

Front of Cards*

Inside of one card**

Inside of the second card***

* Front of the card:

This is a file I found on SilhouetteAmerica Online store that is a print n cut file; but I am going to try it with my Silhouette Pens next time.
Ungrouped the file (had to do several times because when I cut it out, it cut where I did not expect it to...the new layering factor in the upgrade of Silhouette Studio DE I think).

** Inside of 2 of cards (I created 4 cards) I stamped a flower image in left corner and colored with my Wink of Stella by Zip Memory Systems CL Pink and CL. Dk Green

*** I used a finger dauber and purple ink and daubed spots on the white card, creating a dotted design. Also sponged the edges of inside card with same ink color.

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
