RELATED POST —> Cupcake Liner Fish Card

Grab those ink pads because these friendly little fish cards will be swimming by soon to say hello to all your loved ones!

Craft Supplies:

Washable Ink Pads
Cardstock Paper
Cardstock Paper Cards
Craft Scissors
Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
Colored Sharpie Markers
Baby Wipes
Embellishments

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!!!
