I wanted to make this Mother’s Day Z-Fold Card with Floating Flowers to share with everyone this year. As a mom of five grown children who have families of their own, Mother’s Day reminds me how blessed I am to have such a large family!
I love the Thankful Garden Bundle so much and wanted to use it for this card because there is a small die that cuts out three beautiful flowers from the Hydrangea flower and I want to make sure y’all know how to do that!
Not only is this a fun fold handmade card but You will love how easy it is to add the floating flowers!
This card can easily be made for a Birthday, Thinking of You, Thank you or Graduation card!
Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this project will surely bring a smile to your loved one’s face.
In this live tutorial, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a stunning Z-Fold card adorned with gorgeous flowers. It’s the perfect heartfelt gift to show your appreciation and love.

During the YouTube Live class, I changed the colors of the Mother’s Day Z-fold card with Floating Flowers. I made a Pink version using Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, and the New Strawberry Slush that will be available on May 6, 2025, as one of the 2025-2027 InColors. Strawberry Slush is a returning color!
