Get Creative

No matter if her favourite is peonies, roses or carnations, there’s no denying that when it comes to Mother’s Day, you can’t beat a lovely bunch of flowers. But this year instead of gifting blossoms that will only promise a week at best, put your skills to the test with this DIY gift: a bouquet made from premium matte paper. Our MP-101 Matte Photo Paper¹ and MP-101D Double-Sided Matte Paper¹ are great for crafts and will help you make a perfect posy. Choose to print on quality paper that ensures longevity, vibrant and reliable results when paired with genuine Canon ink and inkjet printer. A sustainable choice, this paper can be recycled so you don’t have to worry about waste.

Looking for a template to use? Creative Park² has a wide range of projects ranging from super simple to more challenging, so you’re sure to find the project that suits your level of expertise. Don’t worry if mum isn’t a big fan of flowers, there’s a wide range of plants to choose from, and other designs to create. Crafting is a great way to get young children involved in all the Mother’s Day festivities and is also a great activity to do in class if you’re a primary school teacher.

Store Memories

Help her show off her favourite shots in a decorative way by printing stickable photos using the Canon Zoemini. Create a unique photo album, that will look just as great on the mantle as it would on the nightstand.

Alternatively, update the current family album with a modern design. Our sleek and compact MC-PA001 Photo Album is ideal because it fits up to 36 photographs that are 4x6”. For a homemade Mother’s Day gift, fill the clear pockets with your favourite photos of mum, and present her with a personalised pictorial coffee table book. Sturdy, and full of character, she’ll have this out on display for guests to flip through. For high-quality prints, don’t forget your PP-201 Photo Paper Plus Glossy II¹ that’ll ensure crisp, clear professional-looking photos.
