This adorable card in the shape of a hat, which evokes Kentucky Derby season and all things springtime, makes a wonderfully whimsical card for a special someone on Mother’s Day! When Travis and I spotted the craft in Highlights, we knew we needed to put one together for his grandmother.

Cut a large circle from colored cardstock; we chose a royal purple. I was impressed with the way Travis followed the lines along the circle I drew – I hadn’t realized his cutting skills had grown so precise!

Then we cut the rim from a paper bowl for a smaller circle.

Cut a tab into your cardstock near the middle, and glue onto the bowl. It should be able to lift open and closed.

Next we glued purple ribbon around the bowl, and also affixed a purple bow.

Once the glue dried, we added our Mother’s Day message to grandma under the hat!

Hats off to this cute idea!
