Free Printable Mother's Day Cards

These free printable Mother's Day cards for children and adults is a four-fold (sometimes called quarter-fold) design. The print on one page, which is then folded into quarters for stability.

Although you can get good results with these cards with most printer setup, I'd choose "Fit to page" or something similar, if offered on your computer. I was most pleased with "Fit to page" printing on my Windows XP computer! It removes margins and allow printing almost to the edge of the page.

If you save or download the image and then print, I'd open the picture in Windows Paint and use the "Print Preview" option before printing. This preview is fairly accurate, so you can adjust the settings on your printer, if things do not look right - before printing the card images.

Click on the thumbnail of the card you want to print:

Fine Art mother and child image, repeated on the inside with a quote by William Goldsmith Brown, "The sweetest sounds to certain mortals are heard in mother, home, and heaven."

Pretty Pink Dahlia on the front, with a simple "I Love You" inscription sets.

A map for children to give to mom, "How much do I love my mother?" with a picture of teddy's outstretched arms on the inside, says "so much."

My favorite card, with a beautiful rainbow on the front and a Kahlil Libran quote inside, "Mom: The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind."

Another art print, with grandmother teaching her granddaughter how to knit. A simple "Happy Mother's Day" message on the inside makes this card suitable for anyone.

We also offer a matching free printable envelope designed to fit the cards exactly. This free printable envelope has been a challenge for me! Major, are you trying to make a map printed on one computer page (folded in half and in half again) fits into an envelope printed on another page. There is not much room for error. I printed many unacceptable envelopes before settling on this final result, which should work for most people.
