Print on cardstock
Regular paper works, but cardstock gives the certificate a cleaner, more official feel and holds color better.

Keep the middle writing area readable, then make the outer frame bright and cheerful.
Add Mom's name and date
Personal details are what turn a printable into a keepsake that actually gets saved.
Frame or envelope it
A cheap frame or nice envelope is the fastest way to make the finished page feel like a real present.
