This clever cutie is perfect for the coffee-loving mom. Begin by folding the sheet of pink card stock in half, hamburger-style. Sketch and cut out a to-go coffee cup from the sheet of kraft paper card stock. Next, sketch and cut out a lid from the brown card stock and a coffee sleeve from the white card stock (Image 1). Glue your coffee cup and lid onto the front of the pink card. Hand-draw your design and a saying on the white coffee sleeve using a pencil (Image 2). Use a fine-tipped black marker to finalize your text and design (Image 3). Then, glue the sleeve into place. Use a white crayon or colored pencil to complete your card with coffee steam accents (Image 4).

Then, apply hot glue on the marks you made to secure each pom-pom (Image 2). Use the black marker to add feet and beaks to the chicks. Then, color in the beaks with an orange colored pencil. Add pink hearts for an extra pop of color (Image 3). Tip: Customize the design by adjusting the number of mini yellow pom-poms to match the number of mom's kiddos.

Materials Needed
- (1) sheet pink and kraft paper card stock
- (5) sheets tissue paper in bright colors
- pencil
- fine-tipped black marker
- green colored pencil
- glue stick
- hot glue gun + sticks

Give Mom a bundle of blooms without stepping foot in a gardening store. First, cut the five sheets of tissue paper into squares of the same size, approximately 6 inches by 6 inches (Image 1). Fold the sheet of pink card stock in half, hamburger-style. Then, crumple up each tissue paper square into a ball, and arrange them like a bouquet of flowers on the front of the pink card. Next, sketch a flower pot onto the kraft paper card stock, using the pink card and flowers to estimate an appropriate size (Image 2). Cut out the flower pot, and hand-write text using a fine-tipped black marker. Then, glue the pot onto the front of the pink card using a glue stick (Image 3). Make sure the tissue paper blooms are situated properly and use a green colored pencil to draw a stem for each one (Image 4). Finally, glue the tissue paper flowers in place with a hot glue gun (Image 5).
