It’s your nieces birthday and you are already running late, you have the gift, it looks fabulous in a shiny gift bag with sparkly tissue paper, you are all set to leave the house but oops! you forgot the birthday card! Even if you aren’t as absentminded as this, making your own birthday cards is fun and thoughtful and it can be done simply and easily!
What You’ll Need:
- Craft Paper
- Scissors
- Glue, tape or mod podge (whatever you have available)
- Paints or markers (whatever colorful medium you have available)
- A pen, pencil or sharpie and a poem in your heart!
I like to use craft paper with a little bit of a sheen to it – I usually choose white, ivory or cream colored as it makes it much easier to use colorful paint on and to see writing more clearly. On the front of the craft paper, you can use markers or paint to paint something nice. I usually keep it very simple and paint a heart or a flower. I choose watercolor paints because the colors blend nicely, but if you are cranking this out quickly, just make a nice heart on the front.
