One of the highlights of this year’s holiday season has been the Kids Craft Weekly card swap. We were put in a pool of 10 families from around the world to exchange kid made cards with. It was a delight to make them as well as receive. I loved the notes included in some of the cards–a four year old from Switzerland will learn 4 languages by the age of 6! An Australian toddler will spend Christmas by the pool at Grandma’s. It has been such a great way to learn about different countries and cultures! This will be a yearly tradition!
Now a bit about how we made ours. I cut a triangle shape from a potato and a star shape into the ends of some VERY fat carrots. We used a silver stamp pad for the stars and just plain green craft paint for the trees.

The stamping took some practice and lots of trial and error. I ended up cutting out sections of the black paper and glueing them onto the cards–it was easier to find sections that resembled trees!! I think the black paper makes them extra special looking.

We made extras for family members and will for sure frame one as a keepsake. We have so enjoyed seeing what other families have created as well. Have a look!
