DIY Mother’s Day Cards

DIY Mother’s Day Cards are my favourite to receive on the day. I cherish the handmade little cards that my kids have come up with, and I try to send cards to the grandmothers and all the wonderful women in my life. Being a mom is no small feat, so we need to take these little celebrations where we can!

 

How To Make DIY Mother’s Day Cards with Cricut Explore Air 2

Recently, our friends at Cricut sent me a Cricut Explore Air to add to my creative sparkle to. It’s been a long time since I’ve played with Cricut. I used to visit a local scrapbooking store to use a machine many years ago to cut out alphabet letters. At the time, you could only cut with dies that you already owned or alphabet shapes. Although there were some sweet designs, I couldn’t always make them work for my projects. Things have come a long way since then, baby! You can cut over 60+ kinds of medium, upload your own images, or get inspired by the Cricut Design Space.

Although I can’t wait to try some more advanced projects (go big or go home), I started with simple cards to cut out for mother’s day. Since I already have an intense amount of cardstock (thanks scrapbooking), I had most of the items on hand that I needed!

Andrea (the Inspired Cricut expert) gave me tips on how to get started, and we chatted away happily as we both made a few of the designs.
