My daisy thank you card is a paper version of a card designed by Janine Blackwelder.

Base card is half a sheet of 8.5" x 11" cardstock. Although I have provided a pattern piece, you may prefer to use 1/2" ribbon for the vertical stripe. (That's what I did.)

This Mother's Day, for once, I did not make a card that would fold flat and fit in an envelope. I made a magic explosion box featuring a pond lily with floating butterflies, dragonflies, and bees.
It's similar to a birthday box I made a couple years ago, but a little bigger.
I referred to Elaine's tutorial to make the frog pond magic explosion box, but designed mine as a 3.5" cube.
The pond lily paper flower pattern is from an ancient Dennison book about making crepe paper flowers. If you don't happen to have that hanging around your house, there is a very similar flower on bliss bloom blog. I used regular white glue to hold mine together, and smooshed the stamen rather than having it stand up.
The butterflies and such are dimensionals from K&Company. I bought them at Joann Fabrics. They are stuck back to back with a 1/2" wide acetate strip in between.
Closed up it looks like this.

If you're pressed for time, this card goes together fairly quickly.
If you have a little more time, try the seven flower version. It's easier to make than it looks!
I made this pop up flower as a birthday card, but it could easily work as a Mother's Day card.
I adore the gorgeous flowers in this window box. You can make them with punches if you have them.
Pleated Center Flower Pop Up Card
This is another birthday card that would work for Mother's Day.
The red looks a bit Christmas-y. How about a blue background and we'll call them blueberries?
Shhh! Don't tell my mother, but she's getting an explosion box this year. Not too much like this one though, it's too girly.
