I love Grandma because… Flower Card:

Have your kids tell grandma all the reasons why they love her in a card form! This is the perfect way to show grandma how much you appreciate her!

All of these mother’s day card ideas are super easy and no template required! I just eyeballed the flower pieces and cut them out. (My oldest was able to cut them out herself after I drew an outline for her.) My toddler helped glue them down (use a glue stick for their little hands – I love the jumbo glue sticks) to the construction paper.

grandma mothers day flower card

These flower cards are just darling! It’s the perfect card to tell grandma how much you appreciate her!

Create a flower using cut out shapes of colored paper, and then have your kids write (or you assist) in writing a reason on each petal of the flower for grandma to read.

It’s also a great project for a young kid who is practicing their writing!

For a gift idea, you could wrap up a frame and after she sees the card she can pop it right in to display!

Don’t just use this for mother’s day, it would be a great idea for a birthday cards too.

All of these homemade card ideas are easy to do but if you and your kids aren’t feeling too crafty, here’s a great free printable that your kids can color and fill out and send to grandma!

Tip: If grandma lives far away and you want to send her something fast and easy, take a photo of it and send it to grandma digitally!

Handprint Flower Pot Card Idea:

Another great handprint card idea! This handprint flower pot would make a great card for grandma.

mother's day card ideas for grandma

Just trace your child’s hand on a colored piece of construction paper to create the flower stem shape. Then, cutout small flower shapes to attach to the top of each finger as the flower buds! We added little gem stickers to give it some sparkle!

The pot can be glued just on the top to feature a secret message for grandma underneath it. You could also make it fun by making the pot a little bit bigger and tucking in a gift card in the secret flap!

My girls had so much fun creating these flower pots and it is a really great craft idea for all ages.

Handprint Heart Card Idea for Grandma:

I absolutely love DIY gifts and handprint crafts for Mother’s Day and this adorable heart shaped handprint card for grandma is a great idea for little ones.

You will just need to make a heart shape or template for them to add their handprints into and then you or your kids can write a sweet message around the border of the heart.

This beautiful card is sure to be a keepsake that grandma will cherish forever, and I always love comparing how the handprint sizes change over the years.

Heart Pop Up Card Idea:

My mom always loves to receive photos of my daughters for gifts, so when I saw this pop up heart card idea that featured pictures inside I thought it was genius. You can find the tutorial here on how to create this pop up card yourself! I thought this was a really unique idea and would be a great one for older kids to get creative with and create on their own.

Cupcake Flower Card Idea:

We all have paper cupcake liners laying around…put them to use to create the most adorable flower card for grandma! My girls would have so much fun stacking the liners up to create their very own flower designs. This idea of course would work for anyone – not just grandma – but I know my daughters grandmothers both love flowers and would really appreciate this pretty 3D card!

This would also be really pretty framed as a gift for grandma. Or you can have your little ones write a special note to grandma on the inside of the card. The options are endless but this is sure to be a special gift that any grandma would love.

Cricut Explore 3 review: the best cutting & craft machine

The new Cricut Explore 3 is here! It’s available now on the Cricut store. If you’ve never used the Cricut before or even if you have, and are interested in what this new machine is all about, you are in the right place!

I’ve been testing out the new Cricut Explore 3 and I wanted to share how someone like me – a beginner Cricut user, is able to use it, what I love about it and why it may be the right machine for you!

This post is in partnership with Cricut. All opinions are my own.

The Explore is actually Cricut’s best selling machine and now with the new Cricut Explore 3 it does all of the same but is smarter and faster than before.

What Can the Cricut Explore 3 do?

A lot of people think of the Cricut as a cutting machine, but it does so much more! It can cut, write, draw, score, and foil with over 100+ different compatible materials!

A few projects that I have made are banners, signs, stickers, custom coasters, custom t-shirts and lots of cute decor for my home and my kids rooms! Honestly there are so many things you can make that I couldn’t possibly list them all!

Features for the Cricut Explore 3

  • Explore 3 works with six tools (sold separately) so you can cut, write, score, and embellish.
  • Cut 100+ materials including cardstock, vinyl, HTV, and poster board.
  • With Smart Materials, making is easier than ever: just load and go, no mat needed.

Not having to use the mat makes projects go by so fast. I love that they also have this roll holder which can keep your rolls aligned and has a built in trimmer to make it even easier!

Tips for the beginner Cricut User

Practice doing easy small projects – Don’t go for a multi-layered vinyl on a unusually shaped object. Start with cutting your name on vinyl, or printing and cutting a sticker. There is learning curve to it, however once you get started, it’s definitely easy to pick up.

Cricut Design Space – The software for using your cricut is great as it’s fairly easy to use. It will give you ideas to start with, as well as easy instructions on exactly what materials you will need. If you have an iPad, I highly recommend using it with Design Space as it makes designing and making so fast and easy. But it’s still a breeze if you are using your computer as well!

Unlimited Access to images + fonts – I highly recommend subscribing to Cricut Access even for one month, to get access to the 150,000+ images and 500+ fonts and 1000+ ready-to-make projects. Having that access really helped me understand how to use the Cricut better and when it came to creating my own projects, it made it that much more easier!

Something not making sense? – Because there are different techniques to each project you make, there might be things that can be confusing. If you don’t understand something, watch Youtube videos! There are so many creators out there with very helpful videos on how to do everything on the Cricut. Sometimes just watching someone else do it, makes it easier to understand.

What I love about the Cricut Explore 3

Easy to use and fast – Like so insanely fast you won’t believe your eyes. It can cut things out so quick which means your projects get done so much faster. As soon as you pick out your project and have it ready in design space, all you do is load up the machine with the materials you are using and once you hit the “go” button, it does all the work for you.

Set up is a breeze – I pulled it out of the box and all I had to do was plug it in and then connect my iPad to it via bluetooth. It was done in 5 minutes or less!

Aesthetically pleasing – because it’s a pretty large machine, most people will keep the Cricut out, especially if you use it often. I love that it’s not some giant ugly machine that has to sit out and instead it’s a beautiful mint color and when you close it up, it’s small and sleek and just goes with your decor!

As you can see above, the Cricut Explore 3 is slightly smaller than the Cricut Maker and I think it’s a great size that you can keep out and it doesn’t get in the way.

No mat needed – This is a huge one because it means that I can cut out larger things without having to worry about the width of the mat and trying to piece things together. It can cut the entire roll up to 12 feet!

Variety of materials – For the smart materials, you can use everything from iron on and vinyl and my favorite, the sticker cardstock. I made this Cutie Buddy (find the pattern and instructions right in Design Space) in less than 10 minutes, including all the prep, cutting and putting him together!

Is the Cricut Explore 3 worth buying?

YES! If you are a beginner to an expert Cricut user, you will love all the new features and benefits of this new machine. I love how fast it cuts and how I can create so many projects with it. It’s a great price point when you think about how much you can make from it. You can buy the Cricut Explore 3 from the Cricut Store and don’t forget to check out the smart materials as well!

Easy Mother’s Day Craft to do with your toddler

Crafting with toddlers is always an adventure but watching them create something is just the best! I love the process of making things together, so I’m always trying to think of easy crafts to do with toddlers.

This post is sponsored by Walmart. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links. By using my links to shop I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!

I’m a very sentimental mom who keeps all the artwork my girls create. I wanted to have something that I could remember both the girls by at their current ages (2 and 7). These handprint bouquets are so easy to make and both kids had a great time making them.

My oldest could trace and cut out on her own which made her very happy to have her own creative freedom. My youngest was happy to get her hand traced and pick out the colors of paper to use!

Being a busy mom, getting out of the house to buy materials is not always at the top of my list so I was so happy to order from Walmart and get everything that I needed for this project!

With my Walmart+ membership, I was able to get Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum required (excludes freight & Marketplace items)!

I order everything from Walmart, from groceries and household essentials and it’s great that I can also get things for our craft projects shipped for free!

It’s also nice that I can even place an order from my local store! I get to choose the delivery window time so I get my items whenever I need. Plus I also get free delivery from our store ($35 minimum. Restrictions apply)!

How to make a handprint bouquet for Mother’s Day

Materials for the project:

And make sure to have lots of snack on hand! It was so great to be able to place one order on Walmart and get everything so I didn’t have to worry about running out to get any last minute items.

This Mother’s day craft is simple, easy and I love that it involves your kids hands which is always so fun if you do a hand craft each year to see how much their little hands have grown.

Instructions:

  • Grab a few colors of construction paper to be the “flowers”
  • Have your child put their hand on the paper and trace their handprint
  • Trace the handprint on all the colors or use one as a template to cut out the rest
  • Cut out strips from green paper to create the stems
  • Glue the green strips to a piece of white paper – make sure to layer them so it looks like a flower bouquet
  • Glue the hand “flowers” to the tops of the stems
  • Cut a piece of ribbon and create a bow
  • Glue the bow to the stems

Write their names on the bottom or the back of the paper so you’ll remember when they make them! My oldest daughter wrote a note to me which I just love!

This is a great gift not just for mother’s day, you can give one to grandma and teachers, etc… It’s a fun project that the kids will love to do with you!

The Walmart+ membership has been so great when I know that I will need things in a few days. I place my order and it’s at my door before I know it! But I also stop in to Walmart when I need and I love that with Walmart+ I also get more benefits when I shop in store like using the mobile scan & go where I can check out with my phone! It helps me run in and out of the store with ease and I can get back to my busy schedule!

Walmart+ is definitely something I rely on a lot and highly recommend trying it out for yourself! You can even get a 15 day free trial if you sign up here!

25 DIY Personalized Gift Ideas that anyone can do with their Cricut

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

Ever since I was young I have loved making my own gifts and ever since I got my Cricut Maker, it’s opened the door to making so many fun things. I created these Grandma’s Kitchen tees for Layla to gift to Grandma and I loved seeing how excited Layla was about the gift. It even inspired her to pull out her arts and crafts box to make her own gifts to give to family which I love!

Sometimes I can get stuck on ideas on what to gift which is why I wanted to round up the 25 best DIY Personalized Gift Ideas that you can make with your Cricut. I hope that this not only helps you out with some gift ideas but it will be a great list for me to refer to when I’m creating my presents every year!

Holiday gift idea: custom tees with your Cricut Maker

This post is sponsored by Cricut.  All opinions are my own.

With the holidays coming up, I’m already thinking of gifts for friends and family. To me, nothing is better than a personalized gift! I love my Cricut Maker and have been making so many fun things.  I’ve been obsessed with making custom tees with Infusible Ink and I just love how easy it is but it looks so professional!

My daughter has such a special bond with her grandma and I thought it would be neat to make them matching tee shirts.  We went onto Cricut Design Space™ and chose a design together. Layla and grandma love to do lots of things together, but they’ve always baked together so this design was just perfect!

cricut infusible ink gifts

Every year grandma makes the best holiday cookies so I thought it would be so fitting for Layla to give her this shirt for Christmas!  Layla loves matching mommy and when I told her that she could match Grandma too, her eyes lit up and she couldn’t wait to get started!

cricut infusible ink gifts

If you haven’t heard of Infusible Ink before, it’s basically a heat transfer that prints right onto your material and you can use it on tee shirts, tote bags, even coasters.  I’m obsessed because not only does it look super professional, it’s also really easy to make!

cricut infusible ink tees

How to make a custom tee with your Cricut Maker:

  1. Choose your design! There’s so many great designs to choose from in the Cricut Design Space™ .  You can head to my projects to find the exact file I used.
  2. Select the size that you want your design.  The adult tee design had to be larger than the kid’s tee but changing the size is so easy to do in design space.
  3. Choose your Infusible Ink transfer sheet.  I used the Distressed Berry pattern. They have so many great colors and patterns to choose from.
  4. Print out your design on your Cricut Maker
  5. Pop out the background from the transfer sheet and place onto your shirt
  6. Transfer the design onto your tee with your Cricut Easy Press.
  7. Take off the transfer sheet and admire your new tee!

It’s really that easy! You don’t even need to wait for it to dry, it’s permanently  printed on the tee and won’t ever peel, crack, or wrinkle!

We packaged it up with a few other baking accessories that we thought grandma would love! Layla was excited to try everything on, of course!

I am pretty new to my Cricut Maker but what I love is that it hasn’t been hard to use at all.  I love that I can use it to make personalized tee shirts like these but it also does a ton more, I’ve used it to cut out banners for my daughter’s birthday party and I’m looking forward to trying out some fabric projects too as it can easily cut fabric too!

Do you have a Cricut Maker?  Let me know what your favorite projects are that you love to make, I am always looking for new projects to do with it! Make sure to PIN this project or bookmark it to make it for later!
