Say It in Updated Style
Let her know what an exceptional mom she is with this contemporary-styled card from Anna Gehmlich. “One of a Kind MOM” is a  4 x 6 greeting card, template 104952. It opens up to show a photo greeting on the inside of the card. Even, the back of the card, shown here on the right, tells mom how special she is to you.


Say It Your Way
Go to the Template Gallery and put “mom” or “mother” in the search box and you’ll find hundreds of templates, many of them cards, to tell your mother how much you love her this Mother’s Day. Shown here from left to right starting on the bottom are templates 54770851625782721401,8385256584675608581258021 and 29595. You’re sure to find the perfect card for all the moms and grandmas you want to honor this spring.



Say It with A Tile
For a perfect Mother's Day gift or project from the kids, make one of these 8 x 4 photo card tiles. Start by personalizing either “Mom's Day Tile in Blue” (85226) or “Mom's Day Tile in Pink” (85300) by Lynda Angelastro. Then buy a single, heavy-duty 12 x 12 self-adhesive laminate floor tile from your local home improvement store. Leaving the backing paper on the tile, score at 4 inches deep, across the front of tile, and then snap to break cleanly. Score again at 8 inches across to make an 8 x 4 inch tile. Peel paper off back (exposing the adhesive) and mount 8 x 4 photo card onto tile. Sand edges and display on super small size metal easel. These instructions are repeated inside the template.


Say It With A Canvas
