When just one wish for a Happy Mother's Day won't do, you'll need an envelope that's pretty enough to hold all your wishes! Your Mother will smile more and more with each wish she pulls from her beautiful envelope made just for her. You may need to make several so the wishes never have to end!

What You’ll Need

envelope (any size you want)
shape punches
patterned paper, such as scrapbooking paper
scissors
glue

Instructions

1. Punch shapes along the edges of the envelope, going through both the front and back of the envelope. If desired, you can also punch shapes on the envelope flap.

2. Cut the patterned paper about as wide as the envelope and twice its height. Fold the patterned paper in half and slip it into the envelope so that the pattern is showing through the punched shapes. Attach the patterned paper to the envelope by putting small dabs of glue between the paper and the envelope.

3. Cut a small square of the patterned paper and glue it inside the envelope flap, if you punched a shape there.

4. Write out as many wishes for your Mother as you can think of on small pieces of note paper.

5. Place your wishes for your Mother's special day inside this pretty envelope!

6. You may want to add 'fresh' wishes as the day goes on.
