Mom & Me Insert Cards

LEARN HOW TO MAKE CUTE MOTHER'S DAY INSERT CARDS FOR ANY MOM ON ANY CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE!

Hi, Everyone! Today, I am back with another Mother's Day card tutorial.

I created some fun cards that any mom would love to get! There are four designs in total. Mom and Boy, Mom and Girl, Moms and Boy, and Moms and Girl.

I am so excited to include some LGBT representation in this free bundle. It definitely is long overdue and much needed even in the mainstream market!

As for all my insert cards, it can be made using any Cricut, or other brand, cutting machine you have! In the download, you will find two folders inside. One for Maker/Explore and one for Joy.

The Cricut Joy design is ONLY the design so it would be best to use Cricut’s Insert Card Packs available at most craft stores!

Note: I will be using my Cricut Joy in this tutorial and the Joy design files. For more information on how to use this design with a Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2, please take a look at my tutorial on how to make Mother's Day Insert Cards!

In this tutorial, I’ll give you my step by step instructions and tell you what materials I think work best when making this project.

Insert your card layer into the card mat with the folded side on the left. Make sure to align at the top and side.
