Below is my experience on using blank puzzles to make greeting cards.

I don't like to buy greeting cards from shops because they are so common.

I prefer to make them by myself.

Last time, I put a photo on the supporting board, drew and signed the puzzles as a birthday card to my Dad. He likes that so much!

Thanksgiving Day is coming. This time I would like to show my love to my mommy.

This time, I put a heart shape paper to cover the central part of the puzzles first.

Then I used foam to make heart stamps in different sizes.

After stamping the hearts randomly on the puzzles, I took away the heart shape paper. There was a big white heart with tidy edge.  I wrote some words inside the white heart.

 

Kids crafts - DIY Puzzles / Birthday Card / Photo Frame?

My father's birthday is coming soon.

This year, I want to make him some unforgettable thing, instead of buying him a gift.

Time really flies, I note that he is getting old recently.

He forgot something that had happened just two months ago.

I think we must not delay to show him that we love him.

Or, one day, he may forget all of us!

That is not what I want to see, but a thing that may happen soon.

My father will be seventy five years old very soon.

I looked at the blank puzzles that I had bought for my son, and suddenly had an inspiration.

I decided to make the puzzles a birthday card, as well as a photo frame.

At first, my son and I painted rainbow colors on the puzzles.

2013 Daddy's Birthday Card

This card was made by my son to his daddy.

Though the hands were too short, I like the pretty colors he had used.

He had learned some new drawing skills from school and applied on this card, too.

They were the 'nets' at the bottom corners.

These made the card more special!

Inside the card, instead of just writing something, he requested to use the scratch card.

He wrote 'Daddy is the best'. This was his idea, not taught by me. : )

He also wrote daddy's year of birth, too. 

Oh! He disclosed his age @@

 

 

 

 

 

Paper crafts - scratch paper birthday card to my son

My son's birthday has just passed.

Time flies. He is seven years old now.

This year, my son said that he wanted to receive a birthday card from us.

Oh! That was a great idea. I had never sent him a birthday card though there were birthday gifts and cakes for him every year.

So I tried to think what birthday card should I give to my son.

I never thought of buying one from shop though they might be more beautiful.

I wanted to make one solely for him.

Finally, I decided to use scratch paper to make a special card for him.

I found a cake picture in computer from free coloring pages.

I used wooden pen to draw it on the scratch paper.

Then I sticked it to a bright yellow card.

When he first saw the card, he opened his eyes wide and said that is so beautiful.

I love you my son, I will keep this card properly.

And in the coming years, I will make cards for you, too.
