USE CLIPART TO MAKE CARDS YOU CAN’T FIND IN STORES!

CARD OUTSIDE

Two granddaughters have October birthdays and I wanted something really unique and special. I used 7 fun October clipart images for the front and back of the card.

The layout on the front of the card was created in Word. SIMPLE right!

CARD INSIDE

I wanted the inside to be more playful and interactive. This is so easy! The clipart is printed on cardstock, cut out and glued to the inside. The big brown spider is attached to fishing line so he wiggles.

I wrote a personal message on a small rectangle shape, printed it out, and glued it to the back of the tiny lid. I made a slit on the card so it slides up and down to read it. (You can see a tip of it sticking out of the bottom of the card.)

The response was so heartwarming I will definitely do this for all my grandkids!!!

HOPE YOU TRY this type of card. Once you begin creating it is hard to stop adding wiggling, popping, sliding, fun effects.
