"for your love, I'd give you the moon if it were mine to give...."

The Yardbirds sang these words back in the 60's, but even though this is not the Summer of Love, I bet you would give the moon to your love, if it was yours to give! I can't give the moon, but I do love making cards and gifts for special occasions, and sometimes just because someone needs a little lift or a reminder that they are loved. I hope you find something you like!

Dear Mom

We should salute our moms all the time, not just one day a year. With that being said, have you found that perfect Mother's Day card yet? Maybe I can help.
I pulled some cards out of my stack that would be great to attach to a gift for Mom, or just a special little "hello" for her.  Any of these cards can be made with characters, colors, patterns, or themes that are special to your mom.
If your mom is a beach-lover, this is the card for her! With crimping, tearing and beautiful silver embossing, you cannot go wrong! It can be left blank for your own words, or her favorite scripture, song, poem, quote can be printed in it.
 $3

This lily can be outlined, as above, or colored with a watercolor effect.
$2.50

Is Mom not a "mushy"-card kind of person? There are those out there!
This is a good one to include a simple "Happy Mother's Day" or something a little more personal.
$2.50
If your mother is a lover of books, she will appreciate this one.
Actually, this a card with detachable bookmark,
and a bookmark you could include
in that book you are going to buy for her.
$4 for the card, $1 for the bookmark (6 bookmarks for $5)

Here is the card, with the detachable book mark, being removed.
For that "country girl" mom!
$3.50
Although it looks like a tag, it's a full size card.
The little tag on it can have any message you would like.
$3.50
If a teapot, or some special blend of tea is planned for her gift,
what better card to accompany it?
(A set of these, blank inside, would also make a great gift!)
$2 each, 6 for $10
These little 3x3 cards are great to slip into a gift....
or give her a set of them to use when she gives gifts!
$1.50 each,  4 for $5


 I will be making some more cards this week. Please check back, or contact me with any questions or suggestions!  My cards are handmade with good quality card stock and inks, many using rubber stamps, embossing, dimensionals and other embellishments.
