Mother’s Day is almost here, so sometime in the next few weeks the crafters will come out in force to create gifts for Mother’s Day. This means some of them will need vintage Mothers Day cards, which will allow them to incorporate vintage art into their gifts. Many creative people prefer vintage, because it has a traditional feel that naturally goes together with honoring our moms.

Scrapbookers also like vintage images for Mother’s Day. Whether the scrapbook is traditional paper or digital, vintage images make them all the more special. For example, these vintage flower border scrapbooking embellishments. They were common in the Victorian era and could be found in the ubiquitous scrapbooks of the gentler class. They were often hand-painted and used to ring the word “Mother” as a way of honoring dear old Mom. That practice lives on as scrapbookers return to the past to find ways to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Naturally, the scrapbook embellishments that work so well to honor Mom can also make beautiful hand-crafted Mother’s Day cards. The gorgeous flowers, go perfectly in the center of a Mother’s Day card. Also, they are perfect as a 3D embellishment. By printing the border on card stock, the inside and outside edge details can be cut around and layered over another element, such as a photo of Mom. The photo will show through, and the result will look like a fancy picture frame.

Those who don’t consider themselves crafters can also make a free Mother’s Day gift. Just choose one of these free Mothers Day certificates, download and print. The certificate blanks are pre-designed and in PDF form, so there isn’t a lot more to do than print one and sign it. Of course, the certificate would also be nice framed. The frame doesn’t have to be fancy. Any mom would love to have it. These are great alternatives to otherwise more expensive presents such as a new orthopedic bed, dozens of roses, that new car mom wanted and other similar gifts!
