Mother’s Day is coming up in just a week, on Sunday, May 10th, so it’s time to make any Mother’s Day cards that you need, like this Happy Mother’s Day Bird Ballad Floral Card. Whether you are still lucky enough to have your mother to send a card or a mother-in-law, grandmother, daughter, aunt, whomever, it’s time to make some cards!

This is a pretty simple card design so you won’t have any trouble making a card like this one. I already decided I wanted to use the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, which is retiring and is discounted as I write this! It’s beautiful paper, I hate to see it go, so get yours (or get more!) while you can! It will only be available until June 2, while supplies last.

The card base is Calypso Coral Cardstock and there is a layer of Old Olive underneath the Bird Ballad DSP. I thought the Old Olive helped set off the designer paper. I chose the lovely floral pattern of paper. I have always really liked this pattern! There just are lots of good papers in the Bird Ballad DSP!

The Old Olive ribbon is from the Ornate Garden Suite. It comes in a combo pack with a Terracotta Tile color. I tied the bow separately and adhered it with Mini Glue Dots.

The greeting is from the Dressed To Impress Stamp Set. This same card, colors, and paper could be used for lots of other occasions, you can just change the greeting.

I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to die cut the greeting and also the layer underneath the greeting. The Calypso Coral layer actually has most of it hidden, with only the top and bottom curved parts showing!

With Mother’s Day next Sunday, it’s time to make a card or more than one card, especially if you need to mail them. If the card gets there early, the recipient will just have more time to enjoy it!
