First up is a card for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. This paper from Melissa Frances' Kitschy Kitchen collection made me think of her delicious pies!
I thought she deserved a blue ribbon! Used the Woodrow Rosette die from Memory Box, and placed it over the heart from Seasons of Love-Tags. Added the "No. 1" from Compact Family in the center. The little tails are made with Bitty Banners.
Now on the inside is where the fun really begins! Claire has included both family members AND lovely phrases that will all mix and match. Each line on this sentiment is a separate image. Another super cool feature is that the M is separate, too. She included "om" for Mom, and "um" for Mum!!
I don't send my two sisters "hugs with folds in the middle" very often...and this sentiment gave me the kick start I needed to get one done for my sister Jill who lives in New Jersey! Stamped the background using both Faux Fun and the heart pattern from Nordic Spring. Used colors to match the My Mind's Eye "Stella Rose" paper that I used on the Sewing Box-Hugs birdie.
Tucked my hug behind his little wing. Made a little nest for him to sit in with the coordinating knit image from Faux Fun Circles.
Just wait until you see all of the different sentiments that will be revealed today! Claire has packed this set to the hilt, and I can't wait to browse along myself. See you back here tomorrow for the reveal of the third set!

Fantastic work Kelly. Love the versatility of this set and you certainly showed how easy it is to combine with other stamps. xx
Oh my goodness Kelly, these are absolutely AMAZING! The first is so beautiful & then you hit me with the second beauty!, I totally love it - great job!
Wow! These are both fantastic. I love the card for your MIL - the rosette is really pretty and the sentiment is fab! But I adore the card for your sister. The paper pieced bird and pretty knit stamped background is wonderful!
What wonderful papers and blue ribbon on your Mother's day card Kelly! and I love the card for your sister with all the background stampings and cute heart tucked under the birds wing!
These are all wonderful! I particularly love the one with the big heart-- the colors are just beautiful.

Love the heart card for you mom and the hugs for your sisters or sister. Sweet simple sentiments. Hope you have a good week Kelly.
These are just awesome, Kelly! I adore your blue ribbon design and the heart stamped with the scalloped die cut--so sweet! And the knitted background with the adorable little bird is fabulous. LOVE the sentiment!
Just love the message of the blue ribbon for Mom. AND it reminds me totally of the ribbons on the stalls at the county fair! What a great feeling!
All of these are awesome - you sure got lots of mileage from the sentiment set!!
STUNNING cards love all of them and a great way to use all the sentiments.
These are great, Kelly! I love how you've customized the sentiments - the second one looks so cozy!
