Card Supplies:
- White Circular Paper Doilies – 1 per card
- Yellow Crayon or Paint Crayon
- Cardstock Cards
- Cardstock Paper
- Glue Stick
- Small Wiggle Eyes
- Scissors/Paper Trimmer
- Black Sharpie Marker
Directions:
- First trim down a sheet of white cardstock paper to fit to the front of your card front. This will be the “sky” for your sun. You can use scissors or a paper trimmer for this step. You will want the white piece to be slightly smaller than the folded card, so you have some color around the edges.
- Glue the freshly cut piece to the card front. Repeat for each card you are making.
- Next grab ONE paper doily per card and a yellow crayon.
- Color the paper doily carefully, completely yellow. You can also skip this step and buy pre-made yellow paper doilies if desired.
- Next glue your colored paper doily to the center of your cardstock card front.
- Take the yellow crayon and draw lines coming from the sun to make “sun beams.”
- Finish off your Sunshine Cards by gluing on the wiggle eyes and drawing on a mouth with the black Sharpie marker.
- Add other embellishments you see fit.
- Then write a sweet message on the outside {like “sending you some sunshine!” as well as something clever inside, before mailing away!
