Christmas thumb print cards

You’ll need

Card

Cookie cutters, in various shapes

Pencil and rubber Water-based paint Trimmings

Hot glue gun

Alphabet stamps and ink pad in desired colours

Fine black marker

1 Cut the cards into your desired size, from gift tags to jumbo cards. Our cards (pictured page 207) measured 14cm x 10cm

2 Trace a soft outline of the cookie cutter using your pencil. This will provide a subtle guideline when finger painting. Fill in the outline with your paint-covered finger or thumb prints. When the paint dries, remove any visible lead pencil with your rubber.

3 Now apply trimmings with the glue gun and any lettering with your alphabet stamps, stamp pad and black marker pen.
