Fun Mother's Day Card Ideas

Here are some simple and fun Mother's Day card ideas for you to recreate using Papermill's premium product offerings:

Flower for Mother’s Day by Nicole Mullen

If your mum loves florals, why not try out this Flower for Mother's Day design? This DIY card is simple because all you're doing is tracing out flower and leaf shapes, cutting them out to layer on top of each other, and glueing them down when you're happy with the placement. All you need is some different coloured and textured cards and cutting equipment to cut out the different shapes accurately. You can add a text of your choice using a stamp or by hand if you prefer!

Mother’s Day Card Tutorial by Sharon Nettleship

For another lovely option, consider this Mother's Day Card Tutorial. It's straightforward and requires just a few materials personally chosen colours and patterned cards from Papermill Direct cardstock, along with some punches or dies. Start by punching out the flower shapes and sponge some coloured ink around the top of the petals to add more dimensions and colours. Next, place the flowers in your palm and rub the middles in a circular motion with an embossing ball tool. Glue all the flowers together, and for a decorative touch, add a little glitter to the flat white flowers for more of a decorative touch. To tie everything together, cut out the word "Mum" using a die-cut machine or use ready-made letters to attach to the centre of the card. Add some gems to the corner of the card and within the card for an extra bling, and you're done!

Project – Mother’s Day Card “Fresh as a Daisy” by Angela Dodson

This Fresh as a Daisy Mother's Day card is a perfect spring-themed choice, utilising Papermill's pastel-coloured cards. Start by inking through a stencil to create the background. Then, cut out some die-cut flowers, making sure the centre is layered, and the petals are shaped before attaching them to the 3D foam for added dimensions and interest. To give the flowers more detail, you can ink the centre of the flower with a paintbrush. For the final touches, include more decorative elements like a butterfly made with a punch, and then finally use a clear stamp for the "Mum" lettering.
