Cindi posted, “This is my Mother’s Day card for my Mom who is 103! She is also an Anna, and she loves when you have a class… she sits in on it! This card was inspired by your Floral Vellum Cards tutorial. I also used the Compendium dies, the Diorama card and its butterfly dies. Since she is the “Queen Bee” of our family, I used the Crown dies and a bee from I can’t remember where! I love the vellum and she loves gold so we’re both liking this card. Happy Mother’s day!”
Tina shared, “Happy Mother’s Day to my daughter!”

. And lastly , I used a color changing tealight to illuminate this piece

Roxanne shared, “I watched Anna last night on HSN & was inspired to get out the Birthday Celebrations Box to make my niece a card. I absolutely love the flowers & the colors in this box. I also used the new layered flower 3D die set. The details are unbelievable! I love this set.”
Mary Beth asked, “Are we all ready for the big day (Saturday, May 6th)?? Get up early before C@H3 starts to watch the festivities! Modified An AG Cricut “bows” file for the background and Crown die set…fit for a King?”
This card is perfect for the coronation, Mary Beth! So regal!
Beth shared, “Well in the niece and nephew department #58 is on it’s way . My niece Elizabeth was admitted this morning for induction. She received her first dose of Pitossen at 10:00 am. We know she is having a little boy . Now it’s a waiting game . The New Baby Carriage Easel dies arrived 2 days ago . Just in time for me to create a 3D baby Carriage. Once I know the name and date I can add it to a tag on the reverse side of the carriage . AG dies used for this project : Baby Carriage Easel Die Set, Anniversary Paper Trick Folders (for the canopy) Baby Icon Cut and Emboss Folders, Square pop out dies (for the blanket) 3D Fancy French Frames center oval and circle, and the small center circle from the 3D Ribbon Edge Card Layer Dies. AG papers: Basket Cardstock , Fancy Flocked Card Layers, Blue , White and Gold double sided Metallic Cardstock .
Spectacular card, Beth! Congratulations to your family!

Beautiful cards.
I like the idea of the Mary Cecily Barker fairies. I looked at my dresser and had an idea, what about perfume bottles? Some are beautiful and others are iconic. They could be more of a paper project and 3-d. Vellum to represent glass, and maybe even those honeycomb items from the pulley cards, to have on an atomizer version. The labels could be the sentiments, florals and gold flourishes all around…what woman doesn’t like perfume?!
New babies and weddings! Is there anything better in a family? We’ve learned how to create beautiful cards for the wedding couple, and the bridal shower—NOW, we can create one-of-a-kind baby carriage cards and projects, too! What a FABULOUS new easel card die set, Anna! I would love to win and make baby carriage cards! Yes, Anna Griffin inspires my heart and my mind, and I’m grateful!
What beautiful cards!! I am partial to the baby carriage since I will become a Great Grandmother in July.
Lovely Mother’s Day cards as well.
They are all gorgeous! THank you for sharing.
