Whether it’s for a holiday party at school, a Christmas gift for grandma or for their best friend, making homemade cards is a great way for kids to share the joy of the season. I have a really big stash of buttons so I thought I would show you and the kids how use them to decorate simple cards for the holidays.

Button Christmas Cards For Kids

Homemade Valentine Cards
While it's texting and emailing is nice and convenient, there is still something fun about handwritten "real" letters and cards. I think its just means more. Here are a couple of easy, fun valentine cards you can make.
Fot this first one I printed off a picture of a jar and added text to it. You could even use Word to do that. You don't really need any fancy software.
Then I used a glitter pen I had to outline the jar in a sketchy kind of way. I got my Tulip Beads in a Bottle to make the hearts to fill the jar.
The heart shape is easy to make. It's basically like drawing a "V" as you squirt out the paint. I love the 3D texture it gives the card.
For this second card I got out some buttons.
I used Aleene's Tacky dots to attach the buttons to the card.
Then I wrote some words along the edges of the heart to outline it a bit.
And that's it - two easy, fun valentine cards.
I think both would make great framed prints for decor as well.
