It’s the
weekend! This week Nicole has been away at camp, so I have been doing some
Paperwhite business stuff on the computer on my own. A cool idea that we came
up with before she left was to make your own postcard. You can make a bunch of
them and take them with you on whatever trip that you may be taking. Even if it
is just a small trip, make some of these homemade postcards and send them to friends
and loved ones just because. If your kids are going away to camp you can set up
a craft day before they leave and create a bunch of homemade postcards for them
to take along with them and send out. Or even cooler, you can send out
postcards to people who live far away even if you don’t go anywhere, I’m sure
they’ll get a kick out of getting a “Wish You Were Here” postcard from you.
So here is a
little tutorial for you. You can make your postcards any way that you’d like.
We decided to keep it simple and bright and cheery, but you can go all out and
use embellishments, draw pictures, use photos, or do whatever you’d like. Make it
as simple or as elaborate as your heart desires; it should be unique and match
your personality. If you’re going on a big trip to somewhere specific it may be
cool to theme your postcard from where you’ll be going.
Our
supplies: We used a bright green piece of cardstock measuring 6 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches,
dark green ink and clear embossing powder, a fine waterproof Uni-ball pen, a
ruler, a star punch and bright orange cardstock, some glue, and a clear “Thinking
of You” stamp.
The process:
The steps to complete this DIY postcard are pretty simple and straightforward.
First you cut the card down to size, stamp the words in the centre and emboss,
punch out six stars, glue on the stars, and draw “postcard” lines on the back
of your card. So simple!
