Make a heartfelt card for the peeps you love! Today we are sharing this Paper Llama Fabulous Card and we hope you are inspired to recreate this awesome project with your child this afternoon!
Llama Fabulous Paper Card
Can I just say I’m SUPER excited for today’s llama kid craft tutorial?! I just whipped up the idea a few hours ago and I’m pretty proud of it. Like OVER THE MOON proud! With me, it’s the simple things in life.
Hopefully you all see the vision that I had in mind and love it as much as I do. I even hand-drew the llama face in the free printable I’m providing today, so this is REALLY a one-of-a-kind unique craft idea that you can make & gift with your child, with ease!
When I first started brainstorming this llama fabulous card idea, I originally had Mother’s Day on my mind. But after thinking about it, I decided to leave it more “open-ended and neutral” so you can gift it to anyone and everyone, whenever the moment comes up {but Mother’s Day is fast approaching so be sure to bookmark this post for her!}
Anyways…without further ado, below are ALL the details and the free file to get you started. It’s just a matter of downloading, printing and assembling a simple handmade card. With customization at your fingertips, we hope my “llama just say, I think you are fabulous” card idea comes in handy for you!

Directions:
- First things first – print out our FREE llama printable. You only need one printable per handmade card. Feel free to print as many as you like but the free file is only for PERSONAL USE or in a classroom setting.
- Once you have the llama printable printed out, grab your choice of coloring medium and scissors.
- Color in your printable however you like.
- When you are done, cut out the oval and the heart shape from the printable. Discard excess paper and set aside the remaining pieces for later.
- Grab one sheet of colored cardstock {any color you like!}
- Go ahead and fold it in half to make a simple card.
- Grab a sheet of scrapbook paper {again, any color you like!}
- Using a paper trimmer, trim it down a bit {in a rectangle shape} so it will fit on the front of the cardstock card you just made.
- Go ahead and glue it down.
- Now grab your decorated llama oval shape and glue it to the center of the cardstock card front.
- Open up your cardstock card.
- Grab another piece of scrapbook paper and trim it down so it will fit inside the cardstock card.
- Go ahead and secure it in place on the right handed side of the card.
- Finally – add the heart cutout you decorated earlier, inside the card.
- Last step – sign your name in the provided space, add anything else you see fit and get ready to give it to someone special today!
