My Mother's Day Card

The challenge every year is to come up with a unique card - she's a really special Mum so the pressure is on!!

  • Colour - is easy, she loves purple in all its shades!!

  • Inspiration- we have great shapes in our range and what says 'I Love You' more than a heart right??


  • Tools - heart shapes, little hole punch, fastener

  • Method - this would have looked just as nice using all one colour but I wanted to mix it up:


- stack hearts together and punch through the bottom so the hole is in the same place. If you need to do 2 stacks, punch one stack and then place one punched shape over the un-punched stand and mark the position of the hole.


- use fastener to anchor them together




- Write your special message on the front...


....and all the reasons you love her on the inside!


Remember - you can do this with ANYTHING, regular cards, flowers ..the only limit is your imagination!!

  1. Love it! I bet your Mum loved it! I can see it being used as a wedding invite - maybe not hand written, but printed and the text punched out. Bride and groom names on the front, ceremony details on the next heart page, reception details on the next heart page, RSVP next, etc. Really gorgeous idea, so what are you thinking for next Mother's Day?
