The Most Creative Cards For Mother's Day

Mother's Day is here once again, and it wouldn't be a celebration of Mom without the perfect card. One of the best things the internet has brought us is access to so many artists and talented designers, which is why any holiday that requires a card is now better than ever thanks to the accessibility of their genius creations. The creative Mother's Day cards that follow range from sentimental to hilarious, and they all seem to be able to say "I love you" better than any mushy store-bought card could.

No matter how great the card is, however, your words inside are probably what Mom will treasure most. My greatest bouts of writer’s block usually come on when it’s time to spill my true feelings on paper. I’m just not good at it. Usually I write a silly poem that doesn’t really rhyme, but this year I’d like to turn over a new leaf and write something genuine and kind. I think the trick is to just be honest. Let Mom know you care about her, look forward to her calls, and miss her. If you’re a new mom, tell her you appreciate her more than ever now that you understand unconditional love. And if all that doesn’t work, write her another silly poem that ends in farts. Mom will understand and love you no matter what.
