Do Any of These Cardmaking Ideas and Maternal Traits Suit Your Mom?

Let’s face it, the strong moms and other maternal figures in our lives have plenty of formidable qualities that make them who they are. If some of the following traits stand out to you and reflect how you view your mom, then feel free to use these florals or symbols to share that message with them: 

Resilience 

All mothers go through a journey of strength and self-discovery once they have kids, and that journey lasts for the rest of their lives. This is a great message to impart to your mom and show her how grateful you are for her love and sacrifices! 

Did you know that a Petite Mountain Aven symbolizes resilience? As the name suggests, these flowers can grow in the mountains and thrive even in harsh conditions. Moms are a great deal like these gorgeous Mountain Avens, so feel free to utilize something like this layering die set in your Mother’s Day card and show your mom that you see and feel grateful for her resilience. 

Sweet and Thoughtful 

Some moms enjoy giving words of affirmation and frequently shower their kids with the sweetest words and actions. If this is a trait that suits your mom, then you might enjoy adding Magnolias to your handmade Mother’s Day card.

Magnolias symbolize gentleness and beauty, plus the new Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias has a lot of new mom-themed sentiments to help you customize your projects for your mom and share the most heartfelt thoughts with minimal effort. 

Practical and Strong 

There’s a very good chance that your mom has a pitcher or vase at home, be it for things like serving water, holding flowers, or simply for decoration. It’s such a simple, everyday item but it also symbolizes strength, versatility, and practicality. Almost all moms have this trait, so it’s only fitting that you feature something like a pitcher vase in your handmade cards!

If you see your mom as a patient and nurturing type, and bonus points if they have a green thumb too, then consider adding succulents or cute potted plants to your handmade cards! Not only are they the cutest, but they also carry heartwarming messages for your mom.
