I have a freebie for those of you who still need to find a Mother’s Day card! This quote popped up on my desk calendar in March, and the tiny piece of paper has been floating around my office ever since. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away because it was just so sweet.

This printable PDF will make one 5 x 5 folded card.
I recommend using your printer’s best quality photo setting on nice matte paper.

I made the paper flower with the Paper Source Mini Magnolia Flower Kit. A few tips about that: 1) you don’t really need to apply adhesive with a brush – I used quick-drying craft glue and it worked just fine; 2) one flower took me a little longer than I expected, so if you plan on making the entire dozen, don’t leave it for a last-minute project!

happy mother’s day to all!

Meet Nani, our pit bull mix. Once a quivering bundle of fear at the Humane Society, Nani has become an integral part of our family. She enjoys napping in the sun, chewing on tape and superglue without permission, and dismembering and de-fluffing new toys. The background of this card features a dog-bone pattern in the lightest of light grays.

* This special edition card comes with a coin envelope filled with hand-punched heart-shaped confetti and one blank, unattached pink banner. Think of it as a very simple DIY kit. You write your own message and attach it to the card wherever you like, then you fill the red envelope with confetti. Ta-da!
