Mother's Day Gift

As I mentioned in this post, I used something I saw on Pinterest as the inspiration for making my Mother's Day gifts.

Here is the quote I saw on Pinterest:

I think this was done on a cabinet door.  A bit big and bold for my taste and that of my mom and mother in law.  I wanted to do something smaller and classier.
So here's what I did with the quote:

 I started with a 6 x 6 inch tile
 and some vinyl
 Just put the vinyl on the tile and set it on a little easel to display.
It was a quick and easy craft to make and such a hit with the Moms.  They loved it and couldn't believe I had made it.  They thought it was store bought.  That's a real compliment there, when someone thinks your hand made craft looks so good they could've bought it at the store. 

If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these, just send me a comment or email and I'll let you know the details.  They make cute gifts not only for Mother's Day, but for birthdays, Christmas or any occassion.

So what did you give or recieve for Mother's Day?  Any other crafty ideas out there to share?

Thanks for stopping by,
Christa

  1. I love that quote. My sister-in-law gave something similar to my mother-in-law yesterday. I love the fonts you paired up. Great job!

  2. I received flowers, and our traditional breakfast in bed, and some delicious chocolates. I also got some fun hand-made cards, and a couple of nice crafts made by my 2nd grader (including a cookbook, made with the help of her teacher and all of the moms who submitted a recipe). Fun!

    Do you have something that can give you vinyl lettering for anything you type in?

  4. I love that quote! I should have thought of it for mother's day too. And your mom's right it does look like you could buy it at the store. Thanks for sharing at Terrific Tuesday.
