Mum / Mom Shaped Card
Good Morning!
It was Mothers Day here in the UK yesterday and today I have the card I gave to my Mum for you, I couldn’t share it any sooner as it would have been seen but it is also suitable for a Birthday card if Mothers Day was yesterday for you too. I remembered to add a ‘Mom’ version this time too in case that applies to you :)
I used the file in 3 slightly different ways to make 3 different cards as I couldn’t decide which one I would like the most so I made them all and decided which one I wanted to give to my Mum afterwards.
Card 1: I cut the card base in black then cut the front layer in white and glued it directly to the front of the card. I cut a white square just smaller than the card size for the inside back panel to help the front stand out.
Card 2: I chose some card which had a different finish on either side, it has a shimmer effect on one side and is completely matt and ensured that I cut the card so the shimmer side would be shown on the outside of the card. To create this card I lined up the front layer over the card base in my cutting software (MTC) then removed the outer most edge of the front layer leaving the cut out pieces on the card base itself.
Card 3: I cut the card base and 2 copies of the front layer in white. I glued pieces of coloured vellum behind one of the front layers then attached the other front layer to sandwich the vellum between the 2 layers. I added some lace and ribbon to the card then popped the vellum layer onto the card base with 3d foam pads.
I chose card 3 for my Mum and it went down well. We did notice that the card needs to be open quite far for it to stand up without tipping over as the bottom edge of the card base could benefit from being a little wider. I’m always learning new things while I design my cut files so I will have to bear this in mind when I attempt a card like this again.

It’s amazing, there is not a single thing you shared with us, that I didn’t like.
Interesting how different ‘the same’ card can look just by using different colors or papers.
