A long time ago on Glued To My Crafts, I shared a couple thumbprint tree kid craft ideas. There is one for fall, one for Christmas and even one with a palm tree for the summer. They always get good traction during the year and the fall tree one is actually probably my MOST POPULAR one to date!

Anyways – as I recently brainstorming on how to give life to this popular idea, I decided to take the original free printable but make it into CARDS instead. This way you can easily spread some handmade joy this fall season AND get some craft time in! It’s a win win in my books!

So if you would like to recreate these eye-catching autumn themed cards, you can get started by snagging the FREE PRINTABLE below! From there, you print it on simple white cardstock and add your multi-colored thumbprint “leaves” on the tree design.

Our Thumbprint Fall Tree Cards idea is simply stinkin’ cute! So come one, come all – fall is definitely in the air and we hope we inspired you with this quick DIY! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts
