From the left over scraps of the previous project I was able to create 5 boy birthday cards. All the products used is the same for the Off the Page project except the metal punch alphas that were given to me in a RAK package many moons ago. They seem to go well on these cards.
Creating cards are fairly quick to make depending on how elaborate you make them. Kids ones are generally pretty simple without much 'Hoo Haa' to them. A picture of something raised against a background of printed / patterned papers and cardstock will look great. Want some wow factor
try using some doodle bug glitter cardstock, the texture and and shine can really make it pop.
Stamping and colouring with watercolour pencils or chalk is another option if you don't have much in the way of printed paper with pictures. You can always stamp your cardstock for background patterns and add a bit of kindy glitz to jazz it up. A lot of scrapping and or stamping magazines may come with printed paper, sentiments, stamps or pictures in it to get you started.
I love chipboard pictures and words and can really add a feature to your card or display a sentiment. Next time when you're online check out one of your favourite online stores or down at your local scrapbooking shop as they are bound to have a whole heap of them.
Till next time.
