Mother’s Day Cards Cricut Tutorial
I’ve bought the cards many times before. You probably have purchased more than your share and they are all fairly generic and boring. This year, you can customize one with these with your favorite colors, messages, and special additions. I love that these are super easy for the kids to help you make too!

What Paper Should I Use for Making Cards?
The best choice, in my opinion, is a nice cardstock paper. While kids usually grab construction paper or craft paper, it can tear very easily, especially when used with a Cricut to cut out shapes and messages.
For this, you can buy any cardstock, or stick with the Cricut card inserts. Cricut cardstock is excellent as well, but you can buy any number of brands, colors, and textures of cardstock at your local hobby store or even a place like the local dollar store.
What Markers Work with the Cricut Machines?
There is some controversy in various groups about what markers can work with your Cricut. There is an accessory adapter that is used for working with pens and markers on your Cricut machines. However, it is designed specifically for the branded products.
In many groups and on many websites, there are homemade adapters or workaround that makes it possible to use any pen, marker, or pencil. I, however, will suggest just making the investment and using only the ones designed for the Cricut. It’s better safe than sorry, in my opinion.
Some of the popular options for makers are below.
