Mother’s Day Countdown and Instructions on Free Printable Mother’s Day Cards

May 5, 2015 by riasharon

mommy-and-me

It’s officially LESS THAN A WEEK until Mother’s Day, friends but no worries, you still have time! I have three free printable Mother’s Day cards that you can download here. (Yes, that’s me and me and mums, in 1971 on the left and 2013 on the right.)

I’ve also put together a simple and easy step-by-step instructions on what to do with them once you’ve downloaded them! 😀

You’ll need:
1. a ruler
2. something to cut with like an exacto knife or scissors or box cutter
3. cutting board/mat

Instructions
1. Print the PDF at 100% on card stock.

2. Trim along the dotted line using your cutting tool. You can get very precise and straight with a box cutter or exacto knife and scissors

3. Once trimmed, score the fold of the card by run the dull edge of your cutter or scissors lightly along the edge of the printed art, which will make it easy to fold the card along that seam.

Ta-da! Done!

What about an envelope?!

If I don’t have time to run out and buy a card, I don’t have time to get an envelope for it either!

I hear ya! No worries. You can make one!

Really?

Yes! Check out this ehow video. Don’t you love the interwebs?

p.s. Especially for all of my Titas and Lolas, I made the ones below (because I can). So feel free to download, seesters and kasins! ;P Labyu! (click the links to download)

We All Have Choices

If you look at our Facebook friends, it seems that Becky and I have been circling each other for years. But finally (thanks to one of those mutual friends), we met for coffee, then a long lunch and the rest is herstory! Becky is the writer, speaker and dreamer of You Are Not Stuck. Like many of us, she is on a journey towards empowerment and consciously creating the life we dream of.

Over the years, I’ve been stuck in the wrong marriage, stuck in the wrong job, stuck in bad habits. I was not immune to feelings of powerlessness and going nowhere, even as the view from the outside told a much different story. So I said goodbye to relationships that didn’t nurture. I traded a high-stress career speaking for others for a life in yoga pants. And when I’m not teaching on the mat, I’m writing in my own voice and speaking my own truth. ~ Becky Vollmer

bv-bw-e1409747720523It’s my honor and delight to be working on a collection of art printables created in collaboration with Becky. Her truisms are featured on four new pieces in the etsy shop, including the one pictured above.

If you are feeling the need for some encouragement and motivation, head over and see what words speak to you.

p.s. And if you’re looking for that perfect gift for the awesome women in your life this coming Mother’s Day, I have a collection of inspirational sayings (including Becky’s) that may be just the words someone needs to hear.

A little about me

I have an undergraduate degree in art. By day, I work in higher ed and in my free time I'm currently putting myself through DIY grad school.

I teach classes on creativity and inspiration on Skillshare. I occasionally share my original paintings on Etsy and fine art prints on Minted. I've also been known to make puppy portraits.
