A Free Mother’s Day Printable For You to Download
Looking for a sweet Mother’s Day printable? This free Mother’s Day printable card is so easy to use. Just download the files and print out onto your favourite cardstock at home.
I love designing new things to share, and this Mother’s Day printable card was no exception. It’s lovely to be able to create things that make people smile, and it’s especially nice to be able to give them away for free on a platform like this, too.
A frame of pretty watercolour flowers and leaves frame the quote:
If Mothers Were Flowers
I Would Pick You
I’ve turned the file into a print and a card and created two PDFs for you to download.
One is just the image, which you could print and frame to create a lovely mother’s day gift.
And the other is a card, with bleed and crop marks that you can print out on a home printer and cut using a paper trimmer or craft knife and ruler.
A Printable Mothers Day Card V Shop Bought Cards
Cards can be so expensive these days, and if you don’t live—or work—in a town or have access to shops that sell them, it can be difficult to access well-designed, good-quality cards. We live in a village, and although we do have a shop, the range of cards isn’t as varied as I’d like sometimes.
I’ve resorted to making my own cards many times as a result!
But what if you aren’t particularly creative?
This is where printable cards really come into their own. If you have a home printer and a computer, you have access to so many amazing printable cards. If you don’t, then obviously, the shop-bought card — or a card off the internet (Mooks Design sells a lovely range!) — is the variety you’ll choose.
But if you can download and print out cards at home, the choice is endless. Etsy, for example, has a fantastic range that is really reasonable in price.
But if you’re looking for a free Mother’s Day printable card, you’ve come to the right place!
How To Use This Mothers Day Cards Printable
Firstly download the files.
In the zipped folder you’ll find two PDFs. One is an A4 version of the design. You can simply print this out and pop it in a frame, as I’ve shown in the image above.
Or if you’re feeling creative, you can erase the text in the centre of the artwork and use the watercolour florals to frame your own wording.
The second PDF is a print-ready card.
I’ve included crop marks and bleed, so you can simply print it out on your home printer, then use the crop marks to cut your card down to size.
If you compare the two images above, you’ll see that the first design fills the print window, whilst the second one has a white page to the left, which will create the back of the card once folded.
Once your card is printed, you’ll see the crop and bleed at the edges of the design.
Simply use a craft knife and ruler — or a paper trimmer— to cut away the excess card, using the crop guides to help you.
Then once you’ve cut the card out, use a ruler to make a crease up the middle of the card, to create the fold.
And that’s all you need to do to create a beautiful card for your mum! The card fits in a standard C5 envelope, or you could make your own; there are loads of tutorials online showing how to make an envelope.
