Mom has been visiting for a week-and-a-half – I drew her here with a Braves game and convinced her to hang out after. We had a really good time – and she left with a box full of cards she made during her visit. I’m happy to share three cards (one design) she made for some special family and friends. One of my nephews is soon completing pilot training, and another nephew who is soon completing school as an aviation mechanic. Mom wanted two cards for her grandsons and a third is for Mom’s friend’s grandson who is also completing pilot training. Here’s the card she made:
How cute are these cards? Mom knew she wanted to use the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper to make these cards – and I was happy to help her design them and add the sentiment she wanted. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper:
Mom pulled the Night of Navy grid pattern and Boho Blue pattern of plane designs for the card. We added in a 1-1/2″ strip of the Boho Blue 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper from the 2023-2025 In Color pack. We played with a couple of other ways to accent the 1″ strip across the card base, and this gave us what we wanted. Here’s a closer look at one of the cards:
Mom cut the “HOORAY” with Basic White cardstock and the Mini Alphabet Dies – with two “H” and two “O” and two “R” in the set of dies, she was done in a flash! The letters were easy to line up along with 1″ strip (and the grid lines didn’t help). Here’s a look at the must-have Mini Alphabet Dies:
Mom added a fun sentiment inside (“You’re the best – plane & simple”) with the Adventurous Sky stamp set. How fun! I’ve included links to the bundle at the base of this post.
The cards were just want she wanted for the family and friends who are taking to the sky. I think her cards turned out perfectly! Don’t you agree?

Awww…thanks, Barbara! She was so happy to have those on hand – funny to have so many aviation folks to give them to.

Awesome design and cards Ms. Mary!
Aren’t they adorable? Thanks, Windy!
Totally love your mom’s cards! The guys will love them. I totally love this suite of products. My husband was an aerial firefighter for 40 years and loves the cards I make with this suite. And, don’t you love how nicely the Mini Alphabet dies fit on cards?
Thanks for your comments, Wendie! Mom had fun with these – and you’re right – the suite is perfect, especially for those who have flying experience. The Mini Alphabet Dies are great!
