Looking for some fun last-minute Mother’s Day projects? Our May/June 2010 issue has just the thing for dear ol’ mom!
We’ve got cards and projects for every style under the sun. Whether you like to design in clean and graphic or fun and cute styles, or if your recipient likes classy and elegant, shabby chic, or vintage styles, Paper Crafts magazine is your one-stop source for endless inspiration.
Check out these stylish projects:
Happy Mom's Day Card by Kim Kesti
Straight from our PC101 column (on p. 29), this clean and graphic card by Go-to Gal Kim Kesti is trendy and fun! Just die-cut a floral shape from fabric and voila! Instant fun!
I Love Mom Card by Windy Robinson
What makes this card by Windy Robinson (on p. 38) so fun and cute is the sweet sentiment treatment, the simple scallop border, the basic patterned background and those darling heart stick pins.
Pink & Yellow Dots Card by Vanessa Menhorn
If you or your mom loves the classy and elegant style, Vanessa Menhorn’s card (found on p. 41) will do just the trick. There’s ribbon, some bling and an elegant stamped image that would capture the stylish heart in any mom!
Vintage Goddess Wall Hanging by Anabelle O'Malley
Are you interested in making your mom something she can hang on her wall? If so, this vintage project by Anabelle O’Malley (found on p. 43) will remind Mom of simpler times—and you—everytime she looks at it.
Mother Charm Card by Sherry Wright
If you or your mom loves shabby chic, this card by Sherry Wright (on p. 55) captures that style perfectly, AND it comes with a charm that your mom could later wear on a chain. What a lovely gift that would be!
If you’re like me, you’re just now getting started on your paper crafted Mother’s Day projects, so these ideas are handy dandy. But for those of you who are already thinking Father’s Day, the great thing about these projects is that they can be adapted to other occasions such as thank you and birthday.
Speaking of birthdays, today our editor-in-chief, Jennifer Schaerer, is celebrating hers! Leave a comment wishing her a happy day and we’ll all celebrate by offering one random winner a fun prize from my magical prize drawer. Just be sure and leave a comment by midnight (MDT) on Friday, May 7 in order to be eligible to win!
Yours in celebrating moms and Jennifers and Jennifers who are also moms,
Cath
