A great sentiment, my Mom is 82 and still very healthy, so it will be a great pleasure to make her a Mother's Day this year and her birthday is May 6th, so am looking forward to that, too!

Each month, I design a special stamp set that is only available when you purchase three stamp sets in a single order. It's called our "One free with 3" and you can get it for free after our release this month when you purchase any three stamp sets in a single order. Here is the new "One free with 3."

Notes to Mom

Mother's Day is coming up next month, so I decided to create the perfect stamp set for Mom. Although this set has Happy Mother's Day in it, it is not a Mother's Day set. It's a set of greetings and phrases that will melt your heart.

Moms are important every day and there is so much to celebrate and so much to thank them for. I've created a few projects to show you just how versatile this stamp set is.

Of course, it's a wonderful stamp set for Mother's Day. The large greetings can easily be the focal image for any card.



Used in combination with Emily Giovanni's Softly Spring digital paper, the main greeting paired with the smaller phrase makes an elegant card filled with love for Mom.



Although every one of these phrases works perfectly for all your Mom cards, you can easily add them to a card for your Dad as well.



I used the word "Father" and the Anchor image from the new "Guiding Light" set and added one of the phrases from "Notes to Mom."



The new Rough and Rugged digital paper pack seen in this project makes the perfect backdrop for your masculine cards and mixes perfectly with the new Chocolate Kiss card stock.

But this set doesn't stop with Moms and Dads. It will also make perfect greeting cards for many other people in you life. In this example, I used an older stamp set, "Home tweet Home" and created a beautiful birthday card for a friend.



I used the Springtime in Paris digital paper pack that was first released for free when you purchased Jessica's StampTV online class. This paper pack will be available for purchase with this new release but will remain free for any class participants.



I added a little sparkle to my bird and flowers using the Sakura Stardust pen, available in our online store. After I colored a little sparkle on to my images, I brushed over them with a little bit of water on a Niji water brush and it spread the sparkle all over. (I colored my images with Copic markers which is why the water didn't affect the coloring.)

This stamp set has so many wonderful uses and the words are warm, heartfelt and elegantly styled.

So what do you think of "Notes to Mom?"
