Want to make a pretty handmade card for Mother's Day? Here's a simple how-to for quilt inspired greeting cards! You can use a sewing machine, or stitch them by hand like we did. Your mother will love one!
1. Supplies: blank note cards, fabric scraps, scissors, double sided tape, paper, pen, needle and embroidery thread. 2. Begin cutting out squares of fabric and attaching them to the front of the card with double sided tape. 3. Continue adding fabric in the form of a pattern. We started in the middle and worked our way out when doing the diamond pattern, but other patterns might work best from starting on the side! 4. Once you've filled the front of the card with fabric, begin top stitching each fabric piece to the card all along the edges. 5. Next, trim off the extra fabric so it fits the square perfectly. 6. Then, make more designs! Try out a regular quilt pattern, a heart stitched on the top, or a herringbone pattern. Get inspired by quilt designs online for your cards! 7. Lastly, Take small strips of paper and write a sweet note, then stitch onto the front of the card.
Have fun crafting something special for your mom! xoxo. elsie + emma
PS. Here are a few DIY projects that would be fun to make for a Mother's Day gift… this scrapbook, this calendar, these wine corks, a canvas portrait, this vase set, these flower pots, this notebook or this sentimental book.โฅ

Really pretty, fun project. Do you have to avoid sewing through the double-sided tape? And what kind of needle do you use to go through the card? Thanks!

I’ve been giving my mom darling ecards for the past few years. She really does love them a lot and I’m glad, because they’re within my reach. These are absolutely stunning cards, but I don’t think I’m good enough to make them.
okay, this is amazing… I need to do this before the weekend!
These are awesome! I would love to try and make one of these for my Mum this Mothers day! Except I don’t have fabric :o( Nevermind though, I do have craft paper, and this has given me a genius idea!!
Wow… here is the nice collection of Mother’s Day Greeting Cards…………
thanks for this! I made one for my mum and she loved it. I sewed the pieces together first and then to the card so us kids could write on the back. ๐
I like this so much! Thank you! I’m going to make one for my daughter’s birthday.
Wow, I never saw such beautiful and creative greeting cards like these ones. So cute and lovely. I’m now encouraged to make one.
