Thumbprint Love Bug Jar Cards Supplies:

* Free Love Bug Mason Jar Card Printable
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Paper Trimmer
* Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
* Pre-Made 4×6″ Colored Cardstock Cards
* Washable Ink Pads
* Baby Wipes
* Thin Tip Markers
* Small Heart Stickers or Rhinestones

Directions:

* First download the link listed in the supply list and print the mason jar card template on white cardstock. One printable makes FOUR cards at a time.
* Use a paper trimmer to trim out each section and make FOUR cards total.
* Adhere each cut out piece to a single cardstock card front.
* Next open your ink pad up.
* Have children place their thumb on the ink pad, then in the center of the mason jar design.
* Repeat the thumbprint step on each card.
* Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of fingers before washing hands completely at the sink.
* Once done, they can draw on their embellishments with various markers to bring their thumbprint love bug to life.
* Add other embellishments you see fit. I highly encourage small sticker embellishments on the antennas!
* Then the last step is to sign their name on the front of the card and write a sweet message inside before they gift it away!
