…almost good enough to eat!
This is the second year that we participated in the Kids Craft Weekly Christmas Card Swap. Emily enjoyed it so much last year I couldn’t wait for this years. And while I was flipping through the latest issue of our Family Fun Magazine (December/January 2011) I saw these adorable gingerbread house cards and knew they were the perfect cards for Emily to make for the swap.
I printed the template from the Family Fun Website. I traced the template onto brown construction paper and cut them out.
She also used a name badge label cut in half for the door and foam Christmas Stickers (gingerbread men, bows, and candy canes) for decorations inside the card too. I printed a message on paper and cut it out with a decorative edge scissor to glue on the inside.
Very cute! She looks so happy with her accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI saw those in the magazine and I have it put aside to make next year. So cute!

They turned out great!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!! I signed up for the card swap too, but never received my addresses and could not for the life of me remember where I had signed up. I have emailed her now, so hopefully we can make some fun post-Christmas cards and send them out.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your cards are super cute :)
Adorable! Your daughter and the craft! You have some wonderful projects! Love your book & art program. I teach art to children and I'm always on the look out for creative ideas-plus I have three of my own that are art junkies too so I'll be checking back in! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. Using a name badge is inspired.
ReplyDeleteVery Cute!
