Be Inspired #29: Mother's Day Cards

We thank you for your participation and it is with pleasure we bring to you - Be Inspired #29! We are providing you with gift ideas for Mother's Day, using digital stamps from our sponsor, My Grafico. Please take a moment to visit their site and see all they have to offer.

Prize for this challenge is a set of Digital Stamps from Mygraphico, how kewl is that eh?

Jenyfur created an elegant gift set below for Mother's Day.

By Jenyfur; I created this stationery gift set using MyGrafico stamps and my Cuttlebug. I made 4 stamped and embossed cards with coordinating envelopes that fit perfectly inside of a pre-bought acrylic box. I wrapped the box in matching cardstock and used my Cuttlebug flower dies for embellishment.

I also cut the Sizzix letters using my Cuttlebug! To complete the set, I added a few candles that I also wrapped and decorated with punches. I usually make one card at a time so it was quite fun to take a bit more time to make a set of cards as a gift. You can check out my blog for bigger photos and a bit more detail; torn-paper.blogspot.com

Now for our amazing design team Inspirations using MyGrafico digital stamps! If you'd like to see the Design Team Member's blog, simply click on their sample.
