Mother’s Day is almost here, so sometime soon the crafters will come out of the woodwork to make their Mother’s Day crafts. That means some of them will want printable vintage Mother’s Day cards, which will let them give a vintage look to their gifts. Many creative types prefer vintage, because it gives a timeless look that naturally goes together with celebrating our moms.
The same principle goes for scrapbooking. Whether digital or traditional scrapbooks are preferred, vintage art imparts them a wonderful sense of occasion. For example, these vintage flower border scrapbook embellishments. They were a staple in Victorian days and were used in the scrapbooks of the time. These beautiful hand drawn borders often accompanied the word “Mother” as a way of honoring her. That tradition lives on as modern scrapbookers celebrate Mother’s Day.
And the very same scrapbooking embellishments that honor Mom can also be used to create unique hand-crafted Mother’s Day cards. The timeless flowers, go perfectly in the center of a Mother’s Day card. Also, they look wonderful as a dimensionalcomponent. If the border is printed on card stock, the inside and outside edges can be cut out and layered over another element, such as a photo of Mom. The photo will show through, and the result will look like a fancy picture frame.
Those who don’t consider themselves crafters can also make a free Mother’s Day gift. Just choose one of these free Mothers Day certificates and print it. The certificates are already designed and include the date and a message, so there isn’t a lot more to do than print one and sign it. Naturally, you can also frame the certificate. The frame doesn’t even have to be expensive to look good. Mom will love it no matter what.
So to create the perfect Mother’s Day gift, make it homemade. It’s a piece of cake, and you might be surprised at the final results. If you do your mom is sure to be impressed, which will give you extra brownie points. She might even request a similar present next year for Mother’s Day.
