What You Need

  • white card stock cut to 5 ½” x 8 ½”
  • brown and red stamp pads
  • red and brown markers
  • “Season's Greetings” stamp

       

      What You Do

    • Fold cardstock in half.
    • Stamp fingerprints in center of card front.
    • Draw antlers and eyes with brown marker and nose with red marker.
    • Stamp greeting in red.

       

      Helpful Hints

    • Use a tiny red bead or button for the noses.
    • Write your family's names underneath each reindeer.
    • Precut white cards and envelopes are available at office supply stores.
    • Experiment with different colored card stock. Beige or pale blue would also look attractive.
    • Expect some ink-stained fingers for a day or two! An exfoliating hand cleanser helps to remove most of the ink.
    • To make a large number of these cards, set up an assembly line: do the prints first, then the antlers and eyes, the noses and lastly the greeting.

       

      Quick switch To make this card into a gift tag, just use a piece of card stock about 3” square.

    • Experiment with different critters for different seasons: yellow fingerprints could be baby chicks for Easter, orange ones could be Halloween jack o'lanterns.
