CARD 2
I decided to make both of the kraft cards first and both the same direction, so that the inserts will fit in them nicely. I used the front side of the Wild Flowers card front, and cut a 1.5 inch strip from the Sunshine paper. I used a pencil to mark where to cut the yellow strip so that it will go all the way across the card, cut it and inked it.

Next I pulled out the smaller leftover piece of blue and arranged my letters in the corner to create the sentiment. Then I trimmed the blue down around the sentiment and grabbed the scrap of the Wild Flowers paper and matted the blue on the brown. I trimmed the brown down similarly, inked the edges of both and glued them together.

Next I wrapped the brown twine around it twice and tied it in a little knot. Then I glued down the large patterned paper rectangle and the small strip, before adhering the sentiment with some foam tape and fabritac. The fabritac is mostly to keep the twine secured, and the foam tape is to keep the sentiment level on the card, since one side has the twine around it and the other doesnt.

Re: Mother's Day Card Class HERE
Next I wanted to add just a bit more visual interest to my flowers. So I got out my stamp. Bare with me here because this may seem like sacrilidge to some of you. and if you are uncomfortable with it, you can skip the whole stamping flowers part, or find a different stamp that works for you. I cut my stamp apart so that I could stamp with just the one flower bloom. I could have masked it, but , well, I stink at masking. And as I will show you later, I was still able to put the stamp back together and use it as all one piece.

Next I laid out my flowers as before to see how many I needed. Then they all were inked, the large one distressed and the small ones got a stamp in the center with the newly cut flower stamp.

Card 3 - moving on to the green, vertically oriented, cards. Here I used the back of the yellow paper - I cut a 3.25 inch strip from the yellow paper- and just freehanded a large curve in pencil, Then cut it out, inked the edges and glued it to the patterned paper card front. Then I tied the twine around it as shown, wrapping it 3 or 4 times. In this photo it looks like the knot is in the back, but it isn't. The knot should be visible on the front lower right hand corner. Then I glued that to the actual card using fabritac.

The flowers got the same, inked, distressed and stamped treatment. Then I just stuck the sentiment stickers on. I sort of centered the 'mothers day' part between the knot and the flowers, before adding the 'happy' so I could more easily center the 'happy' above the 'mothers day'

Re: Mother's Day Card Class HERE
incidentally, I just today found another reason to love these tiny alphas on cards...

I had a last minute need for a card and I didnt have one with the appropriate sentiment, so I just pulled the tiny alphas off and replaced them with the sentiment that I needed.

I love the effect that stamp has in the center of the flower. It really adds a great effect. My DDs are driving me crazy with questions and Mama's so I'm just going to have to stop where I am and pick up later. Thanks for some wonderful cards!! I'll check back in later.

I used a scrap of the yellow to create the sentiment - trimming and then inking the edges. And laid out the flowers as before. nothing is glued here in the second photo.
