So this is another idea I found on Pinterest that I put my own twist on. This is a birthday card for my niece who turned 3 in December. The card is made from kraft paper with light turquoise mat. I stamped the flowers image on white cardstock and matted on pink. I don't remember precise sizes, but I made sure that I had enough room at the bottom for 3 crayons. I punched two small holes in the center of where the crayons would go using my Crop-a-dile, then threaded thin ribbon through, arranged the crayons and tied them on.
The inside also has a stamped image for her to color in:
This was an quick and easy project that didn't require any fancy embellishments, products, etc. The only thing I had to put some extra time into was stopping on the way to her party to pick up a new box of crayons. We didn't have any that were new in colors that worked for the card, and I thought it would be pretty tacky to give her a card with partially used crayons tied onto the front, haha. I plan on doing this type of card again for other kids...quick and easy for me to do and a fun card for the kiddos...win, win!
