DIY Mother's Day Cards.

It's no secret that Mums love homemade gifts so why not make Mother's Day extra special and give her a handcrafted card as well? They make a lovely addition to some home-baked cupcakes and are a cute way to jazz up a gift card.

Is it just me or are homemade cards the best? I used to make a lot of my own cards but sadly it's something I've gotten out of the habit of doing lately. They're the perfect way to show someone you care.

I'm hoping this selection of fantastic DIY cards will inspire me to get crafting again. Store-bought cards are all well and good but a homemade card always feels that little bit more special.
