Rising Hearts Mothers Day Card - Free Craft for Kids
May 5th 2008 14:18
A beautiful card for Mum this Mother's Day. There are three hearts rising 3D from the front of the card. The words inside read:
Thank you, Mum,
for all that you do.
There is no-one else,
in the world like you.
All that you do,
I really appreciate,
and I just want to say
that you are GREAT!!
Materials Required
1. Two A4 pieces of light card, different colours (I used blue and red)
2. Glitter glue
3. Four small gold brads (paper fasteners) OPTIONAL
4. Paper trimmer (preferred) or scissors.
5. Double-sided mounting foam
Instructions
1. Print out the templates below onto the coloured card.

2. Fold the Blue Card (with the card template printed onto it) in half to make a A5 size. Use the upper border of the dark rectangle surrounding the hearts as your guide. There should be approximately 2 mm of colour showing above this border. You can trim the edges of the card later if necessay.
3. Fold the card in half again, to card size. Make sure that you use the left hand side of the dark rectangle surrounding the hearts as your guide. There should be approximately 2 mm of colour showing to the left of this border. You can trim the edges of the card later if necessay.
4. Trim the right hand side and base of the card to size, so that there is approximately 2mm of colour showing around the outside of the dark rectangle.
Hint - A paper trimmer will give you a nice straight edge. If using scissors it may help to rule a pencil line before cutting to get a straighter edge.
5. Open up the card again. If you would like to use brads (decorative paper fasteners), insert them into the corners of the dark rectangle. I used plain gold circular brads.
6. Cut out the three hearts. Paste one flowery heart over the top heart on the card.
7. Place double-sided mounting foam on the back of the plain heart, and stick it onto the card over the middle heart. It will overlap onto the top heart.
8. Place double-sided tape over the back of the last heart, then add a second layer of double-sided tape everywhere except the upper left hand area of the heart. [This is where the heart will overlap onto the middle heart which already has one layer of tape thickness under it.] Stick the heart down over the third heart on the card. It will overlap onto the middle heart.
9. Decorate with glitter glue.
