I’m “swimming by” with excitement to say – send some awesome #happymail to friends and family afar with our Thumbprint Fish Cards idea! It’s super simple to recreate and can be customized as well!

I really hope you are inspired to recreate it with your child today! Keep scrolling for all the details! #gluedtomycrafts

Swimming By Fish Card Craft Supplies:

* Colored Ink Pads {any color your heart desires but make sure it’s washable!}
* Cardstock/Cardstock Cards
* Craft Scissors
* Glue Stick
* Colored Markers
* Baby Wipes
optional – glitter glue, small rhinestones, craft sequins

Directions:

* Use my pictures above for examples but basically you want to make some thumbprints on a piece of white cardstock {several in a staggered line so they aren’t on top of each other.}
* Use the baby wipes to remove excess ink from your fingers.
* After cleaning your fingers, grab your markers and draw on various embellishments to give each thumbprint the look of fish. Think fins and heart shaped mouths.
* When done decorating, trim down your paper piece to add it to a card front for easy mailing!!!
* Use markers or scrapbook stickers to add phrases like “swimming by to say” or “splashing you with lots of love” to the front of the card, to add a “punny” element to your handmade piece!
* Then get ready to gift and/or mail away your masterpieces!
* Repeat over and over again!!!
