DIY Mother’s Day Cards

I hope all of my mommy readers in Canada and the US had a wonderful Mother’s Day this past weekend! We had a lovely brunch with the family; there were four moms at the table. I made cards this year for my Mom (one from Chris and I and one from Nathan) and my Nana. I love making cards, layering elements together to create something beautiful and meaningful.

 

We also celebrated birthdays this past weekend and I’ll have those cards to share later!

 

Celebrating Mom

As you all know, yesterday was Mother's Day so I wanted to show you how I celebrated my Mom and my Nana this year.

First, I made my Mom a card. I cut the "Mom' and the heart out with my Silhouette. The sticker and the flower tag are from K & Company.

Next I painted coffee cans and potted beautiful pink and yellow dalias in them for my Nana. This is a really cute and easy way to reuse cans. You can leave them plain, paint designs or write on them with markers like I did.

We gave my Mom a lilac tree. Since I couldn't really wrap it I just tied on a big bow and then made a sign using my Silhouette (seriously, I love that thing!). I can't wait to visit my parents' house later in the spring when the tree starts to bloom - I love the smell of lilacs!

I hope all you moms had a special day of your own!
