How Do You Make Silhouette Cards For Mother's Day?

Make this easy and unique card with any basic shape. Remember to keep it simple for elegance. Trace or draw a handprint or other shape on a manila folder and cut it out.

Cut two pieces of light-colored vellum paper 1/8 inch smaller than the dimensions of a blank greeting card. Cut a window in the front of the blank greeting card. The window can be any shape as long as it will accommodate the outline you drew on the manila folder.

Leave at least 3/4 inch of the card borders uncut. Fasten one piece of vellum inside the card with craft glue to cover the window. Use just a dab of glue to stick the manila cutout to the other piece of vellum.

Apply a thin layer of glue around the edges of the first piece of vellum and stick the second one to it, sandwiching the manila cutout between them. Be sure not to get glue on the areas of vellum that show through the window. Write an appropriate Mother's Day greeting inside the card with a calligraphy pen or a gold gel pen.
