Fingerprint Flowerpot Craft

 

"I made you some flowers
with my fingers & my thumb
so you will have these memories
for all the years to come"

===================
===================
To size this, I measured his hand at the base of his palm, and added 3/4 of an inch.  That will allow the pot to cover the base of the painted hand which forms the flower stems.
For the name, on the top piece, you will want to use a stencil font.  Any stencil font will work - but I used Brolike Regular.  It's free on Dafont.
Find a list of free stencil fonts here:

One you type the name in a stencil font, attach it to the top piece.  Or, you can slice it - but attach will do the same thing here.

I included the text as an svg  - it is in a font that will work well with the pens. To use the pens, attach the text to the bottom piece.  If you prefer to use another font, here's a list of many free ones that work well with the pens in cricut:

If you prefer to print then cut, select the text and the bottom piece and flatten.

Then we painted his hand for the stems, and added painted finger prints for the flowers.  I used scrap paper for that, and then cut roughly around the piece once the paint had dried.  

We finished with a magnet on the back, under the age of 2 or 3, these are often a good size for a fridge magnet.  Larger sizes could be made into a card, or maybe add an easel for it to stand..

After 2024, you can use contour to remove the date, if you'd like.

Cup of Tea for Mom

I will try my best in every way,
To be extra sweet on Mother’s Day.
But if you become upset with me,
Please relax and have a cup of tea!

Nobel Prize for Mothers

Mom, you are a shining star.

Though the world doesn’t know your name.

You have no fancy title

Like Baroness or Dame.

Mom, you really are a star,

My mother, mentor, and friend.

A Nobel Prize for motherhood,

That is what I’d recommend!

And if I won the lottery

I’d share my win with you

I’d take you, Mom, on a spending spree

Each day the whole year through!

You may not be famous,

As your face is known to few.

But Mom, I think you are wonderful

And I’m so proud of you!

God’s Helpers

God could not be in every place 
With loving hands to help erase 
The teardrops from each baby’s face, 
And so He thought of mother.

He could not send us here alone 
And leave us to a fate unknown; 
Without providing for His own, 
The outstretched arms of mother.

God could not watch us night and day 
And kneel beside our crib to pray, 
Or kiss our little aches away; 
And so He sent us mother.

And when our childhood days began, 
He simply could not take command. 
That’s why He placed our tiny hand 
Securely into mothers.

The days of youth slipped quickly by, 
Life’s sun rose higher in the sky. 
Full grown were we, yet ever nigh 
To love us still was mother.

And when life’s span of years shall end, 
I know that God will gladly send, 
To welcome home her child again, 
That ever-faithful mother.

Author — George W Wiseman

Proverbs 31
1 The sayings of King Lemuel--an oracle [1] his mother taught him:
2 "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, [2]
3 do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel-- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.
8 "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
10  A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

But wouldn't this be a great project to use with some of Grandma's button collection?
Not the exact svg above, but here are some "Moms Are Like Buttons" svgs:
https://cutthatdesign.com/free-svg/free-svg-cutting-files-moms-like-buttons-hold-everything-together/


Not the same svg, but a similar version - free

This one appears to have been made with a circle flower punch and pop dots.  You can cut the flowers using the free svg here - cut them in two different sizes, then cut a small circle for the center.

This is a project from Michaels..  but imagine it with a photo of a mother and a daughter, and made with paper flowers...

Try the Bromello or Brannboll fonts for a similar look

The exact font used here is from Stacy's Digital Designs.  It can be found on So Fontsy.

This is another pinterest find with a spam link - but I love the flowers in a heart, with the text at the bottom like this!

These are obviously meant for new babies, but aren't they gorgeous?


Another idea...

Use a blocky font for Mom, weld the text, and then add a rectangle and slice it out - adding the names and hearts in the middle.  It's the same process you use to make a split monogram, as shown here.

I found this on pinterest, and the link it leads to is pure spam, so I am not sure who the designer is.
But LOOK at that incredible variety of flowers!! I LOVE this!

This is a really cut idea using clothespins to make dolls of each of the children.
