Here are 5 fun tips to create quick handmade kids cards that rule:
- Bright Colors = Instant Win – Kids love bold, vibrant colors. Use Stampin’ Up! cardstock like Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, and Real Red.
- Fun and Playful Stamps – Choose sets with cute characters or fun themes. The “Zany Zoo” or “Playing in the Rain” sets are perfect.
- Add Interactive Elements (Super Simple) – Pop-ups, slider tabs, or even simple flaps can add a fun surprise.
- Punches and Die-Cuts – Use shape punches to create stars, hearts, and circles quickly. Layer them for dimension.
- Minimal Sentiments – Simple phrases like “You Rock!” or “Have a Blast!” are perfect and keep it quick.
