For this first card, the designer paper is double sided so they can use which ever side they choose. They will be coloring with Prisma pencils and they will also be able to give the "fur" on Santa's suit dimension by using a Marvy Snow Marker & heat tool to "puff it up". For the inside of this card, they will have a seperate white panel to stamp their sentiment on (I will have a variety for them to choose from) and punch a snowflake in the corner.
For the second card, they will be using the Cuttlebug to create the snowflake background panel, do a little coloring and punching snowflakes. This is a pretty simple card because I thought the coloring on the Santa card might take them a little more time than alloted. I've given them each both images so they can choose one and take the other home and hopefully be inspired to make a card on their own.
So what do you think?? We will only have 30-35 minutes to do cards and I didn't want to get too involved ... yet didn't want to make them too elementary! Hopefully they will enjoy trying a few new things like the Cuttlebug, snowflake punch, and puff paint! I'll let you know how it goes. The meeting isn't until Dec. 2nd but since I'm having Thanksgiving here ... I wanted to get a head start on this project.
Thanks for taking a peek and if you have any ideas for girls of this age (hoping I get asked back again) ... I would love to hear them. I was thinking maybe bookmarkers or little pizza boxes with chocolate squares inside. Happy Weekend!!
Wow!! You are one busy lady!! These cards are sooo adorable!! Sounds like you had some fun!! :) HUGS

ReplyDeleteThe cards are so cute, Darlene! I'm sure the girl scouts will love making them!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Darlene! They are going to have a BLAST creating these, they are awesome! Great choice in those papers, the images are too cute, and boy will they have fun punching and embossing, my 2 fave things to do ~ he he!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to do this with them!
The girls should have a bunch of fun doing these adorable cards and it gives them a new craft to get involved in . Awesome Darlene! You are so sweet to do this and I'm sure they will love stamping. Pat
ReplyDeleteThey look great and sounds like the girls will have a blast... make sure you have a system in place for using the heat gun and cuttlebug so they don't all want to do it at the same time (half hour goes fast right?)!!! Unless you have lots to share that is :) Look forward to hearing how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful Darlene, I'm sure the girls will love them and learn a lot too!
ReplyDeleteOh the girls will love these! They should have no problem making their cards look beautiful. The one suggestion I have is to keep the tools and instructions specific. After 7 years of being a GS Leader I learned they will be just as happy and you will have less headaches. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the santa clothes card!
ReplyDeleteOh these are wondeful and I think will be a HUGE hit with the girls! how fun to interact and watch their creativity!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous cards for the holidays!! You sure have been busy!
