Bigger cards for the time being

So, I have almost used up all the 5 x 7 card bases that I inherited from Mimi in 2004. Here are a few of the cards I made with a 12 x 12 pad from Michaels'.

The birds are a die from Paper Smooches, the hello is unbranded.

This is made with a combination of dies from Spellbinders and Gina Marie Designs.  The sentiment is from a very old set from Lawn Fawn.

Let's hear it for the butterfly from Honey Bee Stamps. The oval die is from Gina Marie Designs.

The "hugs" die is unbranded.

No dies, all the patterned paper. The sentiment has been stamped a while and was just waiting for a card to hop on!

The die was cut with a Gina Marie Designs die and embossed with a folder from Spellbinders.  The "thanks" is from an unbranded die.

 

Happy Mother's Day, all you moms!

 

It's hard to see in the photo, but the coneflower and the leaves are splattered with gold. The birthday sentiment does double duty. It reads, "You're one of my most favorite people to celebrate".  

The coneflower is from a die from Honey Bee Stamps, inked up with Distress Oxides and splattered with gold paint. The sentiment is also from Honey Bee Stamps.  The MOM letters are cut with Lawn Fawn's Finley's ABCs.
