Easy-To-Make Mother’s Day Cards

Dotted Fingerprint Card

List of Supplies

• Arteza Kids Finger Paints: Gold A901, Metallic Pink A903, Pink A403, Metallic Lavender A904, Metallic Sapphire Blue A905
• Glitter Gel Pens: Dark Pink, Blue
• Watercolor Pad 

Step 1. Fold a sheet from the watercolor pad in half, making a strong crease in the paper. Open it up so that it lays flat on the table. 

Step 2. On the right side of the crease, make a light sketch of a heart in the center. Now write, very lightly, the words “Best Mom Ever” inside the heart. 

Step 3. Now for the fun part! Using the Metallic Pink paint, dip your finger into the pot and then onto the card to make dots. Keep doing this all over both sides of the card. Next, do the same with the Metallic Lavender, then the Sapphire Blue, and last the Gold. As you place your dots, make sure not to put any on the inside of the heart. When you’ve decided you have as many dots as you want, let them dry completely before going to the next step.

Step 4. Using the dark pink and blue glitter gel pens, go over the pencil lines of the heart and the words. You can make your outline brighter by going over the lines multiple times.  

Step 5. Fold the card shut and there you have it! Write a special message inside and it’s ready to give.

Step 4. Write “BEST MOM EVER!” above the heart with the Fuchsia EverBlend marker.

Step 5. Cut out the shape of a unicorn’s head and two legs from the light pink felt (use the shapes in the video as a guide). 

Step 6. Open the card and in the center lightly draw a circle for the unicorn’s body. 

Step 7. Next, glue the head on the top left side of the circle. Glue one leg on the circle’s bottom left side and the other on the bottom right side. 

Step 8. It’s time to give this guy a mane and tail! Draw the outline of each and fill in with Lime Green, Sunflower Yellow, Pumpkin Orange, Rose Red, Fuchsia, and Violet markers.

Step 9. Now, cut out six circles from the Bubblegum Pink self-adhesive vinyl that are the same size as the one in the center of the card. Take each sticker and fold it in half and then stick them together as you go. You will end up with a “ball” with a sticky back that you then attach to the middle of the card. Your unicorn now has a 3D body.
How cool is that!

Step 10. Don’t forget every unicorn has a magical horn. Use the self-adhesive vinyl to create one and glue it on. 

Step 11. Cut some stars from the yellow felt and glue them on. 

Yay! Your card is finished and ready to surprise Mom when she opens it!

Useful Recommendations

• You can use a cutting machine to help you make all your shapes. If you don’t have one, simply cut them out with scissors.
• Look for pretty fonts on the internet that you can download and trace.
• To make your card super special, tie a ribbon around it before giving it to Mom.

Receiving a handmade card instead of a store-bought one always means so much more. By helping your kids create their own Mother’s Day cards you’re reinforcing the importance of being creative. They’ll also feel good knowing that what they’ve made is being treasured by someone they love.

Here at Arteza, we wish you the happiest Mother’s Day!
