First things first - use a paper trimmer or some basic craft scissors, to trim down a piece of white cardstock paper to add to your pre-folded cardstock card fronts.

Open up your ink pad and grab your piece of white cardstock you just trimmed down.

Use your thumb to make TWO pink "thumbprints" {for the body and head of the flamingo} on the paper. Simply press your thumb on the ink pad and then on the paper card front. Use our picture above as an example for placement.

When done with the thumbprint step, clean off excess ink from fingers with a baby wipe {or two} and quick trip to the sink.

Then use the Sharpie markers to draw on flamingo features on the two thumbprints {like a black nose and orange stick legs.}

Once done decorating, glue your white piece of paper to the card front with your choice of adhesive.

For added fun - add some colorful glitter glue, stickers and small polka dots around the edge for festive flair on your thumbprint flamingo cards!

Then write a quick message inside your card and gift it away for the lucky receiver!
