Colorful cardstock is all you need to create beautiful blooming Mother's Day cards. Brighten her day with a handmade card that's sure to make her smile. Plus, get our best ideas for using paper flowers to create a DIY Mother's Day gift.

Paper Flower Cards

To create these DIY gift tags, create a paper bloom. Mix and match her favorite colors—we used a bold palette of pink, orange, and teal. Glue the finished flower to a plain white gift tag and finish with a pretty handwritten message to Mom. These helpful tips for creating DIY calligraphy make it easier than ever.

Beautiful Blooms

Add a little something extra to your Mother's Day flower arrangement! Dress up store-bought blooms with a quick tissue paper wrap and handmade tag. Let the colorful paper flowers pop by choosing a simple bouquet of fresh white flowers. For an in-season Mother's Day gift, select spring blooms like tulips, peonies, and lilacs.

Paper Flower Gift Toppers

Gift Mom a gift that's as beautiful as she is. A vibrant mix of paper flowers makes plain packages pop! For a bold look, vary the size, styles, and colors of the flowers and add a few colorful leaves. Wrap gifts with colorful paper and twine. Attach flowers with double-sided sticky foam to enhance their 3-D effect.

Blooming Vase

White paper flowers transform an inexpensive crafts store vase into a one-of-a-kind Mother's Day gift. The monochromatic scheme looks polished and expensive, with or without the added fresh flowers. Attach cardstock flowers to the vase using a hot-glue gun. Want to personalize it for Mom? Instead of white flowers, use shades of her favorite colors.
