BEAUTIFUL AND SUPER EASY MOTHER’S DAY VIDEO TUTORIAL

I shared a Mother’s Day Calligraphy Tutorial with a FREE Calligraphy Practice Worksheet a few weeks ago.

Since I created the worksheet, I wanted to give you time to practice!

In this blog post, I’ll show you 2 different and easy ways to make a DIY Mother’s Day Card.

SUPPLIES

• Kraft Cardstock Paper. You can get regular craft paper and cut it the size you want or this card and envelope set. I got the card and envelope set (A7 – 5 x 7in) just because you can save them for any time you’d like to make a DIY card 
• White pen. I’m obsessed with the Posca Paint Markers – Extra Fine.
• Optional: Pentel Sparkle Pop Metallic Gel Pen
• Pencil and Eraser
• Heart (or any other shape) stencil

MOTHER’S DAY DIY CARD STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL

STYLE 1: KRAFT PAPER AND WHITE PEN

Step 1: Get your card cut to size.

Cut your craft card stock to your desired size. I’m using an A7 (5×7 inch) card and envelope set.

Step 2: Draw the desired shape in the center of the card.

With your pencil, use the stencil to draw a shape in the center of your card. I used a heart stencil I made with my Cricut machine.

I think it’s easier to have a stencil so you can make several cards at once, saving you a little time.

You can also freehand this part. Other shapes you can make with this floral doodle wreath are a rectangle and an oval.

Step 3: Draw floral doodles around the shape.

Draw a floral wreath around the shape you chose in step #2.

This floral doodle might seem complicated, but it’s effortless. It’s a combination of five floral doodles and one doodle leaves.

You’ll draw the same type of floral doodles around the shape. The key is to make sure they are evenly spread around the form.

If you’ve never drawn floral doodles before, practice before diving into making the DIY card. But don’t give too much thought to making these floral doodles.

They are not supposed to be perfect and will look beautiful together when you complete the floral wreath.

If you want help drawing floral doodles, check out the workbook I created to help you learn how to draw easy flower and greenery doodles.

Step 4: Letter the sentiment inside the doodle shape.

Letter “Happy Mother’s Day” on the center of the heart (or the shape you chose in step #2). For this part, you can use my FREE “Mother’s Day Calligraphy Practice Worksheet.”

I lettered the “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment by doing Faux Calligraphy and using a Posca Paint Marker Extra Fine.

Is this your first time doing calligraphy? If so, check out my Faux Calligraphy Tutorials to make sure you start learning the right way:

• Faux Calligraphy Tutorials: Lowercase letters, Uppercase letters, and numbers. These tutorials include videos and Free Practice worksheets to help you get started.

Step 5: Write a beautiful sentiment inside the card.

You’re almost done! The only thing left is to write a beautiful sentiment on the inside of the card and give it to that unique human that has the best title in the world: Mother!

OPTIONAL: ADD SHADOWS TO YOUR LETTERING

You can add shadows to your lettering using a Tombow Mono Drawing Pen #03. Adding a shadow will make your letter pop a little bit more.

STYLE 2: CRAFT PAPER AND SPARKLE POP METALLIC GEL PENS

Repeat the same steps as Style 1, but this time use the Sparkle Pop Metallic Gel Pens.
