PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Get creative with the kiddos this weekend and make adorable ladybug cards! Use potato stamps to make them unique, and your friends and family will love the one-of-a-kind results

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, as well as grabbing the provided free printable. BTW – there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around to check them out as well!

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

  • Choice of Color Cardstock Paper
  • Green Cardstock Paper

Directions:

  • Paint one side of it completely brown.
  • Glue it to the center of the mason jar cutout.
  • Cut out some leaves from the green cardstock paper and glue those onto the jumbo popsicle stick.
