Happy Spring Card Tutorial

~:: by Lisa Fyfe of Little Monster ::~

I am so excited for spring. I love, love, love hearing the birds chirping and feeling that hint of warmer air. Daylight savings time is the icing on the cake. Having the sun out still at 7 pm is just a thrill.

Here is a fun craft to help celebrate spring. You should make it along with your kids, and they can proudly give it to someone they love. For those of us with toddlers, you can repurpose some of their artwork as the background. This could make a sweet card to send to grandparents.

I used watercolors to create stripes, but your kids can use crayons or makers to make any pattern they like. Have fun!

Happy Spring Bunny Card

What you will need:

Download the free printable here.

Watercolors/Crayons or colored pencils

White Card Stock

Scissors/Exacto knife

Directions:

Print free download on white cardstock. Cut the paper in half to create two cards. Using an exacto knife, cut out the bunny shape.

Cut out a separate piece of paper to the size 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. This will be the paper for your artwork backdrop. Get the kids to paint, color, decorate this paper.

Glue colorful paper behind the bunny cut out and fold the card.

Happy Spring!
