A Gift Packet of Cards for Mom

Hello My dear Stamper Friends:

"Petaloo" hosted a blog hop 
along with "Quick Quotes (scrapbook company)!

All week long both Design Teams Members, shared some inspiration projects featuring products of both companies for Mother's Day ...

Here, it was my take...

I initially started by making a single card for mother's day...
I pieced some "Quick Quotes" papers in a diagonal way.
At the bottom left, I added a "Pie shape" and made an arrangement with "Petaloo" flowers.
On the top I made a small banner using some "Quick Quotes" banners and sayings.
I die cut some letters to make the word MOM.

Here are the papers and stickers from "Quick Quotes" and "Petaloo" Flowers that I used...

I had so many pieces left over from the initial card that I decided to make some cards for her to use and send.
So that is how I came up with this small gift packet of cards for Mom.

I started by marking with pencil some diagonal lines for the layout of my card...

step one for cards for mom using petaloo and quick quotes

I choose 4 different Designers papers from the collection "", trace diagonal lines on the designer paper.
NOTE: Make sure to place numbers on each diagonal stripe even on the designers papers from 1 to 8 ...otherwise you will get lost and your stripes will not fit, it is like a puzzle.
THEN cut your papers...


When done cutting, I started to piece them onto my final cardstock...
since I had so many stripes left over (see photo)
I went ahead and make more cards...

step two for cards for mom using petaloo and quick quotes

so the end result is that from ONE sheet of stickers and FOUR different designs of A2 (4 1/4" x 51/2") papers (see photo on the left corner)
I got SEVEN completed cards...pretty good isn't it?

All The sentiments are from the sheet of stickers.
The black words "thanks" and "hello" are die cuts with a punched leaf added at each extremity.
I added to each piece some "faux" stitching made with a "Black Copic mulitiliner"
and some pearls

I tied the cards with this ribbon to make a simple gift packet of cards...

remark: remember to trace the lines on the papers , MARK numbers on each diagonal stripe and THEN cut them. Once the papers are cut and marked with numbers, work on assembly line style and the cards will go pretty fast!

    What a great group of cards. The Mother's Day card is outstanding. I have done that design before but never thought of doing what you additionally did with just a couple of triangles. I love the look very much!!

    very pretty, like the faux stitching too, and the last ones that are just some strips is a neat idea!

These bright colors just will put a smile on everyones face, as they´re sooo lovely and gorgeous.
