Mother’s Day humor courtesy of Cardstore

April 30, 2013 by Emily Hill 11 Comments

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for Cardstore. Even though I was compensated for making these fabulous Mother’s Day cards, all thoughts, opinions and propensity for humorous greetings cards are my own.

Thanks to Cardstore, I designed THE BEST card for my sister this Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day 2013 will be Megan’s first—she’s finally knocked up after a year or two of trying. I have four kids ages 15 1/2 to 5 1/2 so this card was perfect.

I told my mom about the card and we both had a good laugh.

I’m pretty sure I’ll have a few more over the course of the next few years. It’s what big sisters do.

I didn’t stop at just one Cardstore card. Oh no. I designed one for my mom:

And one for my BFF LeShan who lives in Florida and is one of the hottest moms around:

She is also a fabulous cook and is the same person who gave me the recipe for that decadent glazed lemon poppy seed bundt cake I posted last week.

Mmmmm…bundt cake…

Cardstore offers more than humorous Mother’s Day cards. You’ll find sentimental ones as well (not my thing but go for it!). You can also create custom cards for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries—just about any occasion. Add photos, personalized messages and your signature for that personal touch. Cardstore will print, stamp and send your card via US Postal Service for you. (Or you can have the cards sent directly to you if you’d prefer to hand-address and stamp them.)

To get you started, I have a super awesome and EXCLUSIVE Cardstore coupon code for you. This baby is not available anywhere on the site!

    So fun! I love that you included a card for your sister. I thought it was great that they had some alternatives to traditional mother’s day cards.

    Brings back memories–did we love a good card back in college or what? I am sure I still have some saved…

    Love the cards for your mom, sis and LeShan. Lucky ladies!!

      Sometimes my mom pretends she doesn’t know me when we’re looking at cards because I get laughing and can’t stop!
