This was my mother's birthday card for May 2012 and each year it falls in line with mothers day.

The paper was taken from Prima A4 Paper Stack -       Nature Garden

Labels were cut from brown cardstock using MFT Dienamics Vintage Cameo Frame and pink cardstock using label die from Quickutz Wildflower set.

So here is the card I made her for Mothers' Day.

Both were Made using Kraft cardstock. The large flowers are from Manor House Creations and the tiny pink rosebuds & bling are Kaisercraft.

The patterned cardstock is  

Echo Park - This & That Graceful - Flower Vine which is doublesided and I have used each side.

Both sections of the label are Stampin Up punches. Underneath the flowers is a brown cardstock doiley punched from Memory Box Marietta Buckle # 98220.

As with most of my projects  I use Walnut Stain distress ink sponged on the edges.

This is a very beautiful card for an 80th Birthday, I made this for a friend after the brief stated pink and whatever I choose.

I have used Christina Rea brown card stock for the base of card 8.5 x 8.25 inches folded in half on the 8.25 side. Then cut a piece of Stampin Up Very Vanilla 3.75 x 8.25 inches and added the sentiment to the exact centre. Again even with the bulkiness of the flowers it will fit into a DL envelope snuggly.

I have then used 2 pieces of pink cardstock at 3.875 x 2.5 inches and run through my Cuttlebug using the cut & emboss folder from Cuttlebug # 2000255 Chic Circle Frame.

Then Distress Ink with Walnut Stain the edges of pink & vanilla and over the front of pink cut outs very gently. The card has been assembled using the Memory Box Style No 808 Small Tilda Swirl cut from brown cardstock in a darker shade than the base underneath the burgandy flowers. The 80 numbers were cut using Sizzix Shadow Box.

This picture does the card an injustice and in reality everybody really admired it. 

The Wishing you a Wonderful Birthday is from Stamp-it Australia called Wishing Birthday #4643D it is a beautiful stamp which I use on many of my cards. Enjoy!
