Save file and print out on 8 1/2" x 11 paper
 
Materials:
1. Three colors of felt
2. Sharp scissors
3. Sharpie pen
4. Pins
5. Card stock- 8.5" x 5.5" sheet
6. Felt glue
7. Mother's Day stamp (optional)
8. Stamp pad (optional)
 

Print and cut out the Mother's Day Card Pattern pieces (see above).  Pin the
pattern pieces to felt and trace with a sharpie.
 
 Unpin the paper pattern and cut along the sharpie line
 
Cut out the octopus body, eyes, and water bubbles (optional)
from felt.
Fold the cardstock in half lengthwise.
Add felt glue to the back of each pattern piece and gently place on
the front of the card.
Don't worry if the glue smudges, it will dry clear.
Optional step: Add stamps to your card.
 
 
Happy Mother's Day!
