The day we celebrate mom – Mother’s Day – is coming soon, so soon the crafters will come out of the woodwork to design gifts for their moms. This means some of them will need free vintage Mother’s day greeting cards, which will let them give a vintage look to their crafts. Many creative people prefer vintage, because it has an old-fashioned feel that seems to go with Mother’s Day.
The same thing applies to creating scrapbooks. Whether digital or traditional scrapbooks are preferred, vintage enhances them. Take for example, these flower border scrapbook embellishments. They were common in the Victorian era and were common in the scrapbooks the ladies kept. They were often hand drawn and used to ring the word “Mother” as a way of honoring her. That tradition lives on as scrapbookers create brand new ways to honor mom.
And the very same scrapbooking embellishments that work so well to honor Mom can also make beautiful handmade Mother’s Day cards. The beautiful flowers go perfectly in the center of a Mother’s Day card. Also, they are perfect as a three-dimensional element. By printing the border on card stock, the inside and outside edges can be cut out and layered over another element, such as a photo of Mom. Her picture will show through, and the result will look like a fancy picture frame.
All the non-crafters out there can also make a free Mother’s Day gift. Just choose one of these Mothers Day gift certificates and download it. The blank certificates already have the date and a message to Mom on them, so all that’s needed is a signature after printing. Naturally, a frame would enhance the certificate even more. The frame doesn’t even have to be extravagant to look good. Any mom would love to have it.
So to create the perfect Mother’s Day gift, make it at home. It will be easy for you, and you might be surprised at the final results. If you do your mother will surely be overjoyed, which will give you extra brownie points. She might even want you to make her another one next year on Mother’s Day.
