Mother’s Day is on Sunday. Have you gotten mom a present yet? If not, I’ve collected THE BEST MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS for you and created this FREE PRINTABLE Mother’s Day card to attach to your gift!

It’s whimsical, colorful and can easily be printed on your home printer. I have a few tips for you how to do it below!

TIPS FOR PRINTING A MOTHER’S DAY CARD

This printable has two cards per page, so you can send another card to your mother-in-law as well.

PAPER MATTERS!

When working with printables (if you’re not sure what printables are, I have a full post describing what are printables?), it’s important to know all about paper. While regular printer paper is great for things like science papers and receipts, they are not the best option for printables!

If you are someone who crafts with paper and printables a lot, I would always have a selection of 67lb, 90lb and 110lb paper on hand. If you are extra like me, you have both matte and glossy in all these weights!

I love both the Hammermill and Neenah Brand.

PRINTERS DO TOO!

Now I’ve had my fair share of printers over the years, some good and some not great. I’m not super picky I just love a machine that distributes color evenly, has rich dense colors and doesn’t cost a million dollars!

The machines I’m currently using are the:

Canon PIXMA G4210 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One Inkjet Printer

Canon TS9521C All-In-One Wireless Crafting Photo Printer, 12X12 Printing

Both are great machines, although I think I prefer the G4120 a little more.

When printing the Mother’s Day Card, don’t forget to print the file at 100%!
