I have used Ed Emberley's book several times to make cards. You make thumbprints into people or things. The kids have tried it a time or two. It is super cute.
I am not accustomed to buying Hallmark cards anymore. I think creating cards can be personal and super inexpensive. I do love getting any kind of card; Hallmark, DaySpring, homemade or whatever. I am a lover of words. Personally, I just find it fun and cheap to make my own cards. They may not be the neatest or most perfect things, but they are from the heart.
Lately, I have been cutting out words and/or pictures from magazines to make cards. I did this for a Father's Day card for Scott. I have tons of magazines. It is a neat way to reuse them.

I'm inspired!
You are so, so creative! I love reading your blog and then stealing your ideas. And Ed Emberley's stuff is lots of fun!
Super cute!!! I really like the whole family one...now my brain is a stirrin' for expressions to put on my family's face. Love you!
I love that thumbprint book! My mom actually had that book in her home when I was a kid and I came across it on her bookshelves about a year ago...I'm inspired to go swipe it and use it with the kids. What a great idea to make cards like this...guess what we'll be doing in the morning? :)
I love em!! Those are great. We make our own too. I agree I would rather get and give homemade, it means more esp. to the nana's and papa's :)
Super creative!! How do you have time for all of this?? You're amazing!
