Potato Stamped Ladybug Cards


Potato Stamped Ladybug Cards

Ladybug Cards Stamped With A Raw Potato

Hi my crafty friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post.

Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or technique into a simple kid craft tutorial. This month’s challenge was to use fruits and/or veggies as stamps and I had a blast with this one!

Continuing on with the ladybug theme from last month’s challenge, I decided to create these Potato Stamped Ladybug Cards. Not only are they pretty easy to make {and cute, if I do say so myself} but with the catchy phrase I added towards the bottom – they make great “Get Well” cards as well.

If you would like to make this easy and affordable card craft with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. There are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your stamped bug cards with us on our Facebook page afterwards, so I can give you a virtual high five from afar! I can’t wait to see what you create with just a potato! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

  • First you will want to glue down the mason jar cutout to your card, as well as a stem/leaf cutout for the ladybug to lay on.
  • Next grab your small potato and cut it in half. Then take one of those halves and cut it in half again so it’s 1/4 of the potato. Discard the other pieces or save for another craft!
  • Place some red paint on your paper plate and rub your potato half in it. Then press it on the card where you want your ladybug to be.
  • To finish the craft, grab the black paint and paint on ladybug features to give it life. Then set aside to let it dry completely before gifting.
  • You can also add other embellishments like stickers, twine or even some glitter. I added the phrase “Caught a bug?” with stickers to ours and wrote “Get well soon!” inside. You can also use a phrase like “buggy for you” “ladybug hug” or “one of a kind.”
