This is such a great way to use your kids’ fingerprints during craft time. I love it and I know you will too!

Card Supplies:

Washable Red Ink Pad
Cardstock Paper/Cardstock Cards
Green Sharpie Marker
Black Sharpie Marker
Baby Wipes

Directions:

First things first – if you need to make your cardstock card, do that first. I highly suggest having a second piece of write paper on your card.
Next grab your red ink pad and have the baby wipes ready.
Fresh your thumb or index finger on the ink pad.
Make several red prints on a piece of white cardstock. You want them in pairs, next to each other.
When done with the ink, use the baby wipes to clean your finger {I also suggest a quick trip to the sink!}
Next – use the green Sharpie marker to draw on embellishments to give them the look of cherries.
To finish off the card, write a message like “you are the sweetest!” or “sweet wishes your way!” to the front, to tie it all together.
Then mail away for the lucky receiver to enjoy it!

Punny Cherry Sayings:

I miss you CHERRY-BLY!
I love you CHERRY much!
You are CHERRY sweet!
You are the CHERRY on top!
I CHERRY-ish you!
