Materials Needed:

• Blank card or cardstock
• Craft foam sheets (assorted colors)
• Scissors
• Craft glue or hot glue gun
• Pencil
• Markers or pens (optional for additional decoration)
• Small buttons or beads (optional for flower centers)
• Ribbon or twine (optional for embellishments)

1. Prepare Your Card Base: Start by folding a piece of blank card or cardstock in half to create your card base. If you're using cardstock, you can trim it to your desired card size using scissors or a paper trimmer. Cut out a thin rectangle shape and glue the two sides down to create a pocket in the front of the card. This will be where you add the flowers. 

2. Draw and Cut Out Flower Shapes:

On your craft foam sheets, use a pencil to sketch out various flower shapes such as roses, daisies, or tulips. You can also draw leaves and stems to accompany your flowers. Once you're happy with your designs, carefully cut them out using scissors.

3. Assemble Your Flower Bouquet: Arrange the craft foam flowers, leaves, and stems on the front of your card to create a bouquet design. Experiment with different arrangements until you find one that you like. Once you're satisfied, use craft glue or a hot glue gun to secure the pieces in place.

4. Optional: Add Flower Centers and Embellishments: If you'd like to add some extra detail to your flowers, glue small buttons or beads to the centers. You can also embellish your bouquet with ribbon or twine for added texture and dimension.

5. Personalize Your Card: Use markers or pens to add a personalized message or Mother's Day greeting inside the card. You can also decorate the card with additional drawings, stickers, or stamps to make it even more special.

Tips and Tricks:

• Mix and Match Colors: Get creative with your craft foam colors to create a vibrant and colorful flower bouquet.

• Layer Your Flowers: Experiment with layering different flower shapes and sizes to add depth to your bouquet.

• Add a Surprise Inside: Include a handwritten note, gift card, or a small photo inside the card for an extra surprise that mom will love.
