Mother's Day Crafting

So Mother's Day has snuck up on me yet again!  One day, I swear, I will have completed Mother's Day gifts AND have them sent off in time...one day....
But until that day arrives, I'll show you what I've created for this year.
I saw this on Pinterest...

And thought it was such a cute idea, especially with me being due to give birth any minute now, it just seemed like a great gift idea for Mother's Day.  BUT, seeing how we're in Germany and we no longer have a garage for me to do wood projects in, I wanted to simplify it a bit, and also make it a bit smaller so it could be mailed to my Mom and MIL.
So instead of wood, I went to Bauhaus (which is the German Home Depot) and bought 2 plain white tiles, which were a total of 0.32 Euro, which I'm guessing is about 20 cents. So cheap, right!?

Next I copied the quote/ saying into Word, printed it onto cardstock in the size I wanted (I printed it on white cardstock and a yellow cardstock)...

I painted the back and sides of the tile black. I salvaged the back of an old picture frame to use. Pulled out the good 'ol Mod Podge and got to work.
After one failed attemp (the mod podge cause the paper to bubble up), I found the best thing to do is paint a light layer, as evenly as possible on the back of the cardstock and press it firmly down all over to keep it from bubbling. I did this until I could tell it was drying some, and staying flat.
Next I applied Mod Podge over the cardstock and the tile for a clean finish.
Once that was dry, I glued the back of the picture frame to the back of the tile so it could stand on it's own (or be hung up since there were little circle thingys on it that allow that).

And tada!  My finished product:

Not too shabby, eh?
