Paper “My Point Is, I Like You A Lot” Card – Kids Craft

When I first started brainstorming this cactus card idea for Glued To My Crafts, I originally had Valentine’s Day on my mind.

Sadly… life happened, other things happened and then this idea got put on the back-burner for a few weeks. But you know what? I’m not at all upset over it. After thinking about it… I decided this idea was great for ALL YEAR LONG celebrating. With the basic cactus plant design in our free printable and the simple phrase underneath it, you can make this card for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, just because moments and of course, Valentine’s Day. I left the idea pretty neutral so you can gift it to anyone and everyone, whenever the moment comes up {but Father’s Day is fast approaching so be sure to bookmark this post for him if you are looking for something a little outside the traditional!}

Anyways…without further ado, below are ALL the crafty details and the free file to get you started. It’s just a matter of printing and assembling a simple handmade card. With customization at your fingertips, we hope my “My Point Is, I Like You A Lot” card idea comes in handy for you!

• Go ahead and fold it in half to make a simple card.
• Grab another sheet of cardstock {or 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 to the card.
• Now grab your decorated cactus plant oval shape and glue it to the center of the cardstock card front.
• Follow that up by adding the “words” you cut out earlier, below the cactus design.
