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’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
