Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13th and almost everyone has someone to send a Mother’s Day card to, so here is a way to Make an Easy Mother’s Day Card With Fresh Florals Designer Paper or really any designer paper. Not only can you make a card of this design for Mother’s Day but for any occasion really. All you have to do is change the greeting!
This is one of the simplest ways to make a beautiful card quickly and easily and with a minimum of supplies. Since this beautiful Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper is retiring the end of May (even though the colors are not), I thought I would use this paper. It’s many pretty patterns can be used for almost everything!
The card base is the pretty Berry Burst In Color. Then I just cut a piece of the designer paper to match and cut it into two pieces so that I could turn one small piece over for the contrasting bottom piece. If you cut this one piece of designer paper longer than you need, then you will have a bit extra to overlap in adhering them together. If you adhere a strip of ribbon, around the designer paper, the seam where the two papers join will not show.
The ribbon I used is the Berry Burst 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon, also on the Last-Chance List. It is usually easiest to adhere the ends of a strip of ribbon on the back of the paper rather than tying the ribbon around the whole thing. Then I just like to make a separate bow and adhere it with a couple of Glue Dots. It’s a secret of cardmaking!
Now that the basic card is made, just choose a greeting and a shape you want it to be. In keeping this a very simple card, I stamped the Mother’s Day greeting on a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Berry Burst ink and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch. For a little embellishment, I added a couple of Pearls on the greeting.
If you would like to see another simple card made with a layer of designer paper and a die cut butterfly for a focal point, check out this card for Mother’s Day.
Obviously, this Fresh Florals card can be made much fancier, the greeting could be larger and put on the top section of the card and more layers and embellishing could be done. But if you are looking for a simple, easy, and quick Mother’s Day card, using designer paper, such as this Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, this style of card is one to make!
