Handmade Birthday Cards

There is a definite charm to receiving something handmade, its much more personal and thoughtful. What better opportunity to create something than a birthday card. And there is no need for art school, just a sharpie white or light gray chalk and a printed design.



Print out the name/shape/design and flip it over. Using the chalk, lightly shade the back of the design.



Flip the paper and place on your card (you can tape it down to keep it from sliding) and with a thin-tipped pen trace your design, the chalk will leave a faint stencil.







Fill in with black marker (permanent works best) and you're done!
