Mother's Day Card
I often make cards for special occasions and so decided I would make a quick and easy card for my Mum for Mother's Day. This whole card only cost around 70p to make and can be customised to suit your purpose.
Tools and Materials
Tools
- Scissors
- Die Cutting Machine (If you want to cut out letters)
- Flower punch
Materials
- Gatefold card
- Floral decoupage sheet
- Silver card
- Mothers Day Peel off/Sticker
- Pre cut letters
- Pre cut flowers
- Adhesive gems
- 3d Spacers
- Glue ( I used UHU glue )
Decorating the Inside
I stuck the floral patterned sheet onto the silver card, leaving a small border around the outside about 5mm thick. I then stuck this piece into the centre of the card.
Cutting Out and Attaching Shapes
I cut out shapes from another piece of matching patterned paper to make a 3D effect. After cutting each piece out I stuck some adhesive 3D spacers on the back and layered them onto the central piece.
Decorating the Front
I cut out another flower from a matching piece of patterned paper and stuck it onto the left side over the top of the inner flower. I then attached some peel offs saying "Happy Mother's Day" to the top left side.
I had some flowers and letters cut out with a punch and die cutting machine earlier. I stuck the flowers onto the bottom left side and adorned them with adhesive gems for a more 3D look.
I had some blue letters which are slightly larger than the pink letters, I glued these on first. Then using some 3D spacers I placed the pink letters on top, to give them a blue border around the outside as well as a more 3D look.
The Finished Card
When the glue is all dry you're ready to give the card to your mum!
