As a younger sibling’s birthday approaches, their enthusiasm and expectation can be more exhilarating than ever. They are always excited and curious about their gifts. And as an elder, a meaningful gift can be a handmade card that is as cute and unique as them.
Taking the time to create a card from scratch will give you many creative opportunities to write a unique message and personalize the exterior.
Moreover, there is nothing sweeter and more touching than the expression on your young sibling’s face when they open a card with a personalized birthday message written just for them. Here are some of the tips to make a great birthday card.
- Use of incredible Colors
One of the best things about making a kid birthday cards is to make them as colorful and vibrant as possible. A bright thick paper-like bright orange or blue that’s as colorful as a clear sky can help.
Plain thick paper is usually more durable and useful when making cards, so you don’t have to look for expensive paper like professional artists need.
Sometimes you want to add a unique texture to a flat birthday card. If you have a brush and have some free time, you can easily make a nice drawing for your siblings birthday card.
Water-based paint can be chaotic at times, but it can give a design a soft feel, perfect for a special birthday card.
- Try stamps and stickers
If you feel like your simple card needs a little extra touch, try adding some shiny stickers and funky stamps to the outside of your greeting cards. Stickers of kids’ favourite cartoon characters or animals can add personality to a well-crafted card.
A variety of stickers are available, many of which come in a variety of sizes and shapes that can be used on the edge of a card or the front of the card.
- Bring a glitter pen and highlighter
Writing with a plain black or blue pen can be useful for legal papers, but trying to use it on a children’s birthday card can be tedious. Take the opportunity and write your message using a glitter pen or bright marker to personalize and add energy to a plain design.
A selection of different colored pens or markers allows you to add details that a simple pen cannot. You don’t have to be a calligraphy expert to make a greeting card that will grab people’s attention.
- Decorative Cutouts and accessories
Use scissors and cut the paper in the shape you want to attach to your siblings’s birthdaycard. This can be a recreational and rewarding way to show off your creativity. Whether your younger kin likes sports or has a favorite animal, you can find almost any model online and track it before you begin.
You can use the guides to carefully cut along the lines and in a matter of minutes, you will have a fully finished paper craft that you can stick to your cards.
In the card, we can add lots of things like photos, decorating embellishments, so you’re practically done.
Another thing you can add is ribbons, which is an easy way to adorn your b’day cards. Ribbons are just a masterpiece. You can tie cute little bows to some extent, or keep them flat to make your card attractive. And it’s easy to stick the Ribbons with a glue or a tape.
- Focus on your inner artist
If you’re new to drawing, it can be intimidating, but hand sketching or drawing inspiration from the internet to paint on your sibling’s birthday poster can be a valuable idea.
If you need to practice a few times, simply draw a light line with a pencil and check the final image with a pen or dark pencil where you want to repeat it. Not only will kids love to receive hand-made artwork, but they can also create durable sketches that have personal meaning.
- Add something special
It is worth thinking a little more and trying. Because children deserve it. It’s their special day and it should be cooler than usual.
This means getting out of your comfort zone and coming up with greeting cards for girls and boys with serious, meaningful and personal messages to make them happier and adored.
Conclusion
It’s a great gesture to make a birthday card for your younger sibings on their birthday. It’s a once in a year opportunity for you to give them all the love and affection on their special day. So make them feel special with this beautiful gesture.
