Hi Stampers!
It is Saturday, April 18, and it is raining here in the Ohio River Valley. My granddaughter is visiting, and she asked if I would teach her how to make a shutter card . . . and could we make it a video for You Tube. How could I say no?
You might remember I demonstrated how to make the shutter card a few weeks ago. You can find that post
HERE.
For You Tube video click HERE.
Here is today’s card created by my granddaughter, V.

TIPS FOR MAKING CARDS WITH KIDS
1. Allow the child to make as many decisions as possible - cardstock color, patterned papers, images, etc.
2. Set limits. It is okay to restrict what craft supplies can be used, what tools can be used with help or used on their own.
3. If stamps and ink seem too overwhelming, use ephemera for images and greetings. There is a lot available from various companies.
4. If you have a collection of die cut or punched shapes, offer some of those for use on cards. Kids enjoy putting bits and pieces on their cards.
5. If you do not care for the sticky mess that comes with liquid glue, use a tape runner, glue dots, or dimensionals.
6. Have fun sharing all the laughs and giggles!
V and I enjoyed time together with lots of laughs on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The next time you find yourself enjoying a rainy afternoon with your grandchild, child, neighbor, or friend, why not grab some supplies and make a card? You’ll be glad you did!
Thank you for stopping by. Until next time . . .
Stamp Happy!
Kim
