Mother's Day crept up on me this year. (I thought it was next week.) Forget about sending flowers to my mother. She thinks flowers are a big waste of money and gets cross if you go that route. Weird, right? (Send her flowers to me!) So to make a long story short, I made her this free printable card, which she will like ... and that's all I care about!
In my pressed-for-time desperation, I discovered a website I believe is a cut above some others. It has a nice selection of pretty designs, and I especially like how the option [to print 2-sided (back and front)] produces a normal size greeting card.
I printed on 2 sheets of paper: (1) A sturdy paper stock, plus (2) a regular weight sheet of printer paper (8.5 inch wide by 11 inch tall letter-size). I printed the design on the sturdy paper stock sheet, and the inside message on the 2nd regular sheet of printer paper. I folded each sheet in half, then glued the ligher weight sheet inside the sturdy sheet of paper to make a fancy card. With two layers of paper, the card has the weight to stand up. If my way seems too complicated, you can just follow the directions to print both design and messenge on a single sheet of paper.
This is the inside of the card. You can make edits. I changed the color to blue, but didn't add a wordy message. I wrote a message by hand. You can also leave the inside page blank if you like.
Trust me, I'm far from crafty, so if I can make a lovely card, anybody can. Printed on good paper, the card looks mightly fine! I also mailed the card in a fancy, good paper stock envelope.
What a great find for occasional personalized greeting cards! Mix it up with store bought ones.
Happy Mother's Day to Mothers everywhere, and to my mom, Glücklicher Tag des Mamma!

That is so pretty, and just the right touch for Mother's Day. I hope you Mum loved it Debbie. I have never heard of print-yourself cards - there is always something new online to learn about :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a Happy Mother's Day, Tricia. Wishing you a happy belated one!
DeleteThe steps to make a card is simple, unlike a few other websites. A useful site to bookmark. My mother seemed to appreciate the effort.
