What you need to know…

These greeting cards so quick, easy, and so fun to make.

Depending on how you cut your watercolour paper, I got three small cards and three gift tags.

Keep reading for a quick overview of my process, but I highly recommend watching the video for the full tutorial.

Step 1: Tape down your paper

Step 2: Test out your colours

Step 3: Start painting balloons

Step 4: Let the painting dry

Step 5: Cut the painting into cards

Step 6: Write your message

You can write whatever messages you’d like – both inside and outside of the card.

Calligraphy, Block letters. Pens. Paint. Get creative with it or keep it simple with “happy birthday” in black ink.

That’s a wrap!

I’d love to see your finished cards. Tag me on Instagram at @thehappyevercrafter
