This has to be my favorite card for Mother’s Day. And I know my mom would have loved it as well. She loved her garden and would have been so delighted by all of the tiny details on this papercut card. If you’re a member, you can save yourself a trip to the store and make this DIY Mother’s Day card (including the envelope!) instead.
Is your mom your best bud?
Even if your mom isn’t a gardener, we think she’ll love this DIY Mother’s Day card. Featuring pretty papercut details, this card is easy to assemble with a cutting machine. Just find your favorite papers and follow the photo tutorial below. We have included a “Mum” version for our UK members, as well!
A little tip if you are using a cutting machine — be sure to use a fresh sticky cutting mat! Those tiny bits need that extra stick to keep from jumping until you are ready to glue them into the design.

I did figure it out! Just needed a stickier mat. Thank you for responding. The circuit is still new and I’m learning with each craft I make. Looking forward to the Master Class tomorrow!
Oh good, I’m glad that worked! Glad to have you with us 🙂
I am having a hard time cutting the green layers that are very intricate. I keep tearing the card stock. I changed the settings and blade, but it didn’t help. Any thoughts would be great. It’s so pretty I’d love to be able to make it!
Hi Jill, I’m sorry to hear about the trouble! Did you try a new/clean mat? You could also try cutting that layer from text weight paper.
I know it isn’t Mother’s Day coming up in the UK right now, but I wondered if, now you have quite a few of us as members, you could think about offering items with the UK spelling of `mum’ in future too? Often we can’t use a lot of US SVGs because if this,
Hi Diana! There is a “Mum” option for this card – if you download the SVG or PDF you’ll see it there 🙂
Beautiful card. Made this for all 3 of my mama’s. Thank you for such an intricate and delicate card. Would love more cards like this!!

Hi Laura,
The file is cutting out for us, we have a couple suggestions you can try. First try deleting the file from your computer and design space and re downloading it from the post, sometimes technology is weird and a simple reset fixes issues! Also turn you machine off and back on as well as your computer. If non of this is working we would recommend checking if your blade is sharp enough and cutting with more pressure. 🙂
Hi there! I just wanted to know if there’s a template for the inside of the envelope. Thanks!
Hi Rick,
We added the liner to the PDF template in the post 🙂
Thank U! But i wanted to do the liner with some other pattern, it would be possible to have it on svg file?
Hi Rick,
We will be adding templates and SVGs for different envelope sizes and liners very soon!
