Mothers day cards can be both incredibly
simple and beautiful, the thing you shouldn't do is overcomplicating
it. Got it? Don't overcomplicate it. Anyway, the cards below will give
you a reasonable idea of how to make
a nice and simple card for mothers day.
All you actually have to do is to arrange
the rabbit and the tulips on the A4 sheet (fold it in half first,
so that you can write in the middle later on) and using the all purpose adhesive glue
them on the paper.
Watching the
video below for the instructions on how to make an origami rose. But
first, make sure that you have:
A 8x8 cm red or pink sheet of paper
Some green paper for the leaves
Now watch the following video carefully for the instructions on how to
make this origami rose. NOTE:
you'll need at least three roses and use different colours, if
possible.
Step 1.
Get your A4 paper and fold it in half. You'll be using only
the front page.
Step 2.
Make the bird and three roses with leaves and stems. Simply cut out 2
leaf shaped pieces of paper for each rose. The stem is just a long
piece of green paper.
Step 3.
Once you've made the bird and roses, put everything together and make
the actual card. Simply arrange the roses in a bunch and using the all
purpose adhesive, glue them on the sheet.
Step 4.
Finally, fix the bird to the upper left corner of the sheet and you're
done!
Cards using Pressed
Flowers
You'll need:
Many different
pressed flowers (just collect a whole pile of flowers, neatly place them on
a napkin, put the napkin in a thick book and lay some more big books on
the first one just in case. Warning:
make sure that the flowers are really neatly placed on he
napkin, otherwise they'll be totally ruined.)
All purpose adhesive
A4 sheet
Simply arrange, and once you've found the right arrangement glue, the
pressed flowers on the A4 sheet. (Make sure you've folded it in half
first.)
You have got infinite
possibilities here, so use your imagination to
make more cards. Be creative!
I've made another card using pressd flowers, but I arranged the flowers
in a much more symmetrical order. Take a look!
Pipe Cleaner Card
Just to show you how simple a mothers day card can be, I created this super-plain card
using a pipe cleaner flower.
I admit that the ones with the origami and pressed flowers look much
nicer, no doubt about that.
