What to write in your Mother's Day Card for any circumstance


Hello Reader,

One often needs a little help with what to write in their Mother's Day cards, so I thought I'd share with you two links today that I found helpful:

# 1

This one is by Good Housekeeping and has a nice little 'Jump to" section that looks like this:


#2

Here is another good one that includes many of the different categories like, "to mother-in-law funny", and "like a mom to me", and "To Godmother" and "mom to be", and a LOT more.


Look No Further for Your Mother's Day Card

I have had so much fun designing Mother's Day cards this year, so start here of your Mother's Day card!

Many of these have beautifully written sentiments inside that are completely customizable.

My storefront is on Zazzle and there you can choose the paper you have your card printed on, my favorite being the linen, and you can customize the envelope etc. all for a very reasonable price, way better than the stores!

Here's a screenshot of a purchase page for one of my cards (the choices for paper did not fit in the screenshot):

Mother's Day Cards

Create a Mother's Day Card TWO ways

MOM, a small word with such BIG meaning!

Recently I drew the word MOM in big capital letters, and I'm finding it amazing how many ideas are flowing for what one can do with that base idea. I've been designing both with watercolors and pens, and in Procreate (a drawing app for the iPad).

Head to my most recent blog post for tutorials on creating a card both ways. The blog includes a blank MOM drawing (you'd be surprised how hard it is to get these block letters drawn out decently!) for you to print out and trace onto watercolor paper or upload into Procreate, AND a free procreate stamp brush with the block letters.

This is also a great activity for kids to fill in how they want for mom's day.

Hello Reader, How are you all doing? I am currently looking out at a very smoky and hazy sky due to a multitude of wildfires in surrounding areas. I know several people who have relatives and friends who have actually had to evacuate their homes. This is so scary! Meanwhile, the heat just keeps coming. Yesterday as I was driving home from dropping my ballot off (last minute of course!) the sun was just red as the smoke covered it and the sky complete haze. It's so surreal! This current...
