“A mother is like a flower. Each one is beautiful and unique.”

Today we are using a part of a celery stalk to make a custom, heartfelt card for the moms in our lives. Just like the saying above mentions, since we are using “celery” as our crafty stamp, no two pieces will be alike. Just like all MOMS!

Below you will find details for this Celery Stamped Mother’s Day Flower Card Idea and we hope you are inspired to recreate it with your child this afternoon!

Like I mentioned previously, we are using the bottom part of a celery stalk, that you normally would throw away. Using this art technique, we are going to stamp a beautiful “flower” design on our paper for practically FREE!

Since you would normally just throw that celery piece away anyways, I think this is a clever way to make good use out of it AND make a custom handmade card for mom, at the same time!

So without further ado, below are ALL the details and the free file to get you started. It’s just a matter of downloading, printing and assembling a simple handmade flower themed card. With customization at your fingertips, we hope our “a mother is a like a flower” card idea comes in handy for you!

Happy crafting and don’t forget to share pictures of your lovely creations with us! #gluedtomycrafts

Celery Stamped Flower Card Supplies:

• Free Mother’s Day Flower Card File {Download HERE}
• White Cardstock Paper {8.5 x 11″}
• Color Printer
• Colored Construction Paper
• Paper Trimmer
• Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
• Small Paper Plate
• Celery Stalk/Knife
• Craft Paint {any color you like!}
• Loose Craft Glitter
• Paper Craft Scissors

Directions:

• First things first – download and print our FREE flower printable. You only need one printable per handmade card. Feel free to print as many as you like but the free file is only for PERSONAL USE or in a classroom setting.
• Once you have the flower printable printed out, grab your paper trimmer {or scissors.}
• Go ahead and cut the printable in half and trim the edges up. Set aside.
• Grab one sheet of colored construction paper {any color you like!} and fold it in half to make a simple card.
• Now take the two printed paper halves and glue them onto the construction paper card you just made. The flowerpot will go on the front of the card and the words will go inside.
• Now grab your paper plate, craft paint and celery stalk piece. Use a knife {adult supervision} to make sure it’s nice and flat.
• Squirt some craft paint on your paper plate.
• Smear the celery stalk piece in the craft paint, until it’s completely covered.
• Now hold it like a “stamp” and stamp it on the card front, where the flower bud would be. Really press hard to get that desired design on the paper.
• If you need to, make another “stamp” attempt on top of the first one to make the flower appear fuller.
• While the paint is still wet, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top. Shake off excess.
• If desired, cut out a small circle from another piece of paper to be placed inside the flower bud. I just laid mine on top of the wet paint but if you want to get some school glue out, go for it!
• Now set it all aside to let it dry completely.
• Then finally, the last step is to sign your name in the provided space inside the card and gift it away to someone special today!
