Shelissa created a pretty pink card with floral accents using the MOM Flowers file.  She says:  "This challenge is to celebrate the most important person of all “MOTHERS”.   Those  women that have given birth to us and have put up with all of our issues."  Get all of the card details on Shelissa's blog:  Shelissa"s Craft Studio

Carolyn created this bright and cheerful card using the MOM Card and Charms card base.  She also decorated the inside so be sure and check out her blog to see the complete card:  Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Cindy created a shabby chic card for Mom using the Stenciled Rose Card Front file.  She says:  "This card is much more shabby than I intended...due to an ink accident.  But I really liked how it turned out, so I guess it was a 'happy accident'!"  Get all the details on Cindy's blog:  The Creative Pointe

Ruth used two files to create this cute and clever free standing pop-up card.  She says:  "I love interactive cards! I just think it's a fun way to surprise someone a little when they open up a card. There are lots of fun designs right now and I thought the free standing pop-up card would be a great one for the World's Best Mom file! What better way to celebrate the World's Best Mom than with a card that will open up and stay open to show the world who the best mom is! I used a flower from the Flower Set One to add a little extra decoration without adding a lot of bulk. Come and check it out and create something for that special mom in your life for the Creative Cutting Challenge!"  Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

Heather created this vintage style tag card using leaves from the Leaves & Branch set.  So versatile, these leaves are the perfect accent for this piece.  To get all the lovely details, check out Heather's blog:  My Artistic Adventures

Carmen created this "Tea-Riffic" shaped card using the ever popular Tea Cup Card.  Head over to her blog to see more:  Carmen's Creations

Octavia created this cheerful card that features the daisy file from Flower Set One.  She says:  "Cutting the layers with orange pattern paper and the top layer in white.  With this cut I only added leaves and a banner - so easy!  On the inside I put another flower and printed my sentiment."  See the inside and get all the details at Octavia's blog:  T's Corner For Scrappin'

Tina created this lovely card for Mom using a file from  Flower Set One.  She says:  "I used one of the flowers from the set for the base of the flower cluster. MOM was cut with various Silhouette files. A cute little card that I think Mom would appreciate and takes no time at all to put together. For more details you have to head over to my blog":  Tina's Scrap Corner

Victoria from PAPER SQUIRREL created this sunny card using the MOM FLOWERS  file.  She says:  "That special day to say “thank you” to mom for everything she’s done for us is not too far away, so get out those electronic cutters and join the "Mother's Day Cards" challenge!   For my own mom, I wanted a bright and cheerful card…with flowers…my mom LOVES flowers!   The basic layout is very simple, with the star being the potted posy cut from My Mind’s Eye patterned papers using The Creative Pointe’s “MOM Flowers SVG."

Carolyn from GRANNY MA's CREATIVE BLOG created the lovely card above as well as the two beauties below using the brand new MOM CARD & CHARMS set.  She says:  "I first cut out the card base from a svg file from The Creative Pointe with "Mom" cut out in approximately the center.  Than using Versamark and a Stampin! Up stamp, Fifth Avenue Floral (believe it's retired stamp set) I placed the watermark image right below Mom and embossed with white embossing powder.  Use a ribbon and two flowers for embellishing the card.  For backing of the "Mom" cut out, I placed an off-white piece of cardstock behind the opening.  The next two (2) cards used a card base from Birds Cards (Rose Edge Card) which features a stenciled edge of roses.  The card can be used with the rose edge to the side or as I have done, along the bottom."

 

"I cut out the "Mom" charm and the back shadow and placed over a ribbon above the cutouts of the stenciled roses.  I placed small flowers at each end of the charm and added punched butterflies for embellishments."

"I hand trimmed the backing for the blue card, and then for the green card, I joined the pieces to come up with a 'welded' look and cut out with my machine.  And then trimmed it off at the perforated line.  Easy-peasy...."

Pam from MZLAVR2's CREATIONS created this colorful card using the MOM FLOWERS file.  Lots of lovely texture on this card!

Shelissa from SHELISSA'S CRAFT STUDIO

Tina from TINA'S SCRAP CORNER created her card with a flower from the FLOWER SET ONE collection.  To get all the details of the card you’ll have to hop over to Tina’s blog.

Cindy from THE CREATIVE POINTE also used the MOM CARD & CHARMS set to create this Mother's Day card.  She says:  "Click over to my blog for the design details and the quick and easy ribbon technique I used."
