Sunshine Cards Supplies:

* White Circular Paper Doilies {or use pre-colored yellow ones}
* Yellow Crayon
* Premade Cardstock Cards {or make yourself}
* Colored Cardstock
* Glue Stick
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Scissors/Paper Trimmer
* Black Sharpie Marker
optional – glitter, rhinestones, etc. to give it that personalized look!

Directions:

* First trim down a sheet of white cardstock 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!

Don’t let the fun stop here!!!
