Do you know how easy it is to create gorgeous gifts for Mother’s Day with simple elements like Mom clipart? With just a few graphics and images you can quickly build a beautiful design that’s perfect for sublimation, printables, waterslide decals, and more! Working with PNG images is a great way to layer designs, elements, or textures to create a true piece of art! Once you’re done, you’ll have something that’s not only beautiful but absolutely worthy of gift-giving. While this post is focused on Mother’s Day and the clipart designs that would best fit that theme, you can take this idea and use it for any holiday or occasion.
In this post, we’re going to do things a little differently! I’ll show you some lovely clipart designs, including Mom and baby clipart, Mom and kid clipart, and some other generic images that all work well together. Plus, I've even created some inspirational pieces to help spur your creativity and show you some of the fantastic ways to use your art. Let’s get started!
What is character clipart? While this could be many things, in the sense that anyone could be a character, we’re focusing on people, namely Moms, kids, and babies. There are so many incredible options out there and each graphic designer has put his or her own spin on this style. You’ll find that many include interchangeable hairstyles, body styles, clothing, and even accessories. Some sets come with front or side facing characters, and others will have a back view. With so many versions and variations to pick from, there’s no doubt you’ll find a set of character clipart that suits your needs. While each designer lists their products in a category they feel is best, you can find a large number of options in our Character Designs category.
This stunning set of Mom and kid clipart has everything you need to build a little digital family! Well, almost! Each of the 306 PNGs are individual elements, which makes it easy to mix and match pieces to create your image. This set is what I used to put together the Mom and two kids in the watercolor image pictured above. Pretty amazing isn't it? I found that when it comes to layering PNG elements, it's best to start from the back and build your way up and group as you go so that one layer doesn't move inadvertently.

Some character clipart sets come with accessories like the adorable Mom and baby clipart in this bundle. Create a card design that Mom will love using the graphics in this set. Each set will include different elements which means that you'll need to search until you find the right one. Some will have babies, young children, teens, etc. so make sure the one you choose fits the look you want to achieve. I love that this bundle comes with a ready-made lettering quote that you can easily incorporate for an extra sweet touch.

Graphics and illustrations come in many different styles and with unique variations. Some are simple, others are quite detailed. One of the many perks of using clipart is that you can combine elements and come up with an entirely new design quite easily, or if available, use the graphics as is. The following clipart bundles are perfect for doing just that!
Sets of Mother's Day clipart like these are perfect for creatives that need ready-made graphics. With quote graphics, you can just print, cut or overlay the design and have your finished product in just a few steps with minimal effort. The graphic designer has provided a few different file formats, including vectors, so if you wanted to you could tweak your design beyond what is already provided. Since there are SVGs with this bundle, you could use HTV or adhesive vinyl for all sorts of different craft projects like t-shirts, mugs, signs, and more.
