Printable Mother's Day Card

Pick between three printable Mothers day cards to make the perfect homemade greeting for Mom. Why? Because store bought greeting cards are expensive, and your mother is sure to be impressed that you made this card yourself. It will mean so much more to her that it was made by you! Pick between three different cover designs, and then pick between three different verses. The design on the front of the card is cut out, and a piece of fabric is placed behind. You can get very creative with this project, adding in scrapbook paper or different textures of fabric behind the cut out to make a very unique look. This is a quarter-fold card, measuring 4 ³/₄" x 5 ¹/₂ " card, so it is the perfect size to fit in a standard A5 envelope.

If this craft is for a child, the heart is the easiest design and an exacto knife is not needed, as the heart can be cut out with scissors. The other two designs will need an exacto knife.
