Directions:
- First check out the link listed above in the supply list and print out the birthday card template on white cardstock paper. One printable makes FOUR cards at a time.
- Use a paper trimmer to trim out each rectangle design.
- Adhere each cut out piece to a single, folded cardstock card front.
- Next up open your ink pad up.
- Place your thumb {or index finger} on the ink pad. You are going to make several “fingerprint” balloons in the provided design.
- Repeat the thumbprint step on each card.
- Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of your fingers before washing your hands completely at the sink.
- Now the final steps – personalization! Add any other embellishments you see fit. I added heart stickers but you can add anything you like.
- The last step is to write a message in the inside of the decorated card.
- Then gift away your Birthday Balloon Cards to the lucky receivers!
