Tissue Paper Stained Glass Window
I love this Mother’s Day card because it uses one of my favourite materials – contact paper – a super sticky translucent material that is great for crafts and activities with kids. The idea for this card was to create a simple stained glass window on a card using brightly coloured tissue paper and contact paper. The results were wonderful and it was a lot of fun to make.

How to Create the Tissue Paper Mother’s Day Card
- Grab a sheet of card stock. Fold it in half to create a card.
- Lay the card stock out flat and cut out a rectangle on the front of the card using a box cutter.
- Take your contact paper and cut out a sheet large enough to fit across the rectangle on the card.
- Peel the back off the contact paper and stick the paper on the inside of the card with the sticky face out.
- Cut out tissue paper into squares and hand them to your little one.
- Invite them to decorate and cover the entire sticky paper (or contact paper) with the tissue paper.
- For older kids have them write their own message inside the cards.
