Since it was David’s birthday last weekend, I thought it would be fun to make him do his own thank-you cards.
We picked three different colored papers form my leftovers stash. Grabbed the Martha Stewart butterfly punch and punched a bunch of hearts out of each. I then cut some heavyweight 8.5×11 paper to create the cards.
I wrote the inside of the cards, thanking them for the specific gift. I kept it short since I knew David would take up a lot of room writing the names.
David then wrote the names of the kids on top.
And his name on the bottom of each card.
When he messed up, we just went with it. Then, we grabbed some stamp and ink:
And we stamped the front of the cards. Some crooked, some less.
He then put glue dots and put one of each color butterfly on the cover. And ruffled up the wings.
And here we are:
Very flawed but 100% authentic. Love them!
NOTHING is better than homemade! My Mom always made us write thank you’s and I make mine now (4, 6, 18) write them. I feel that if someone took the time to choose something special for you, you should let them know how much it means to you. Surprisingly, not many people write thank you’s anymore. You are doing a great thing for your kids. And, they will, will, will huff and puff when they get a little older…but persevere. It’s a good thing! And, BTW-the cards are awesome! Gotta love glue dots.
The cards are stunning and sweet.
those are wonderful – love the colours and that you found a great way for him to make them. Really am itching for a big punch as I seem to have seen lots of great projects using them recently
