Roll up your sleeves\u2014it\u2019s time to DIY! We\u2019ve got an inventive spin on the classic party thank you card your child won\u2019t moan about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We all know it can be hard getting your child to sit down after the excitement of their birthday party and opening all the presents, so we thought this was a cute, fun project to get them involved and the end result is this lovely Thank You card that takes little time to create and will be well received by all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Take Photo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"thank<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a photo of your child as she holds a closed fist towards the camera. Tell her to imagine she is holding up and showing you a lollipop. Take a shot from slightly above to get a good perspective. I used my DSLR, but your smartphone camera will work, too. Try a different pose. Have her hold her hand closer to her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few things to keep in mind when you are taking the photo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background:<\/em> Make sure the background is not too busy; leave blank space so that you can add text. A primarily light or dark background will make the text pop.
Space:<\/em> Include enough space around her in order to add the cute greeting text.
Focus:<\/em> Be sure to focus on her face and not her fist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Add Text<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"thank<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email the photo to yourself, and open it in a text-editing app. I used Over; it makes adding text and fun heart doodles easy. Tip: Watch the placement of embellishments. Don\u2019t place words or artwork too close to the edge of the photo to avoid printing mishaps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3. Order Prints or Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upload your final image to Snapfish and order 4×6 prints<\/a> or go for a sturdier 4×8 stationery invite<\/a>. Ensure that the cropping placements are correct, and edit as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Assemble Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"thank<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a sharp crafting knife, slice a small line at the top and bottom of the fist. Slip in the lollipop and pass out to everyone who gave you a present!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
