Reindeer Footprint Christmas Cards
It was great fun to make Christmas cards this year, although patience was a must as my few-month-old son kicked a lot while I was trying to take his footprints. He was not cooperating at all...
In the end I think these cards with Rudolph are very, very cute!

These footprint reindeer cards are very easy to make. At the begining I was trying to take my son's footprints while he was lying on his back, and believe me that was a big mistake! He wiggled and kicked a lot, which made taking his footprints quite impossible. Not to mention how dirty he made all his clothes and the mat he was lying on. Then I realised that actually if I put him on his belly it's a win-win situation: he is happy (he likes to lay on his belly), kicks much less (he doesn't crawl yet), and I get to make nice, neat footprints.
There's not much you need to make these cards:
1. Folded white card which has a slightly metallic effect and some plain white card, with dimensions 13.5 x 13.5 cm (after folding) from the Pollen series by Clairefontaine, and a matching envelope with dimensions 16.5 x 16.5 cm.
I made three cards: for two of them I used the card with a metallic effect, and for the other one I used plain white card.
2. Brown, non-toxic, water-washable paint.
3. Gold, red, and black markers.
When you have your paper and paint prepared, paint your baby's foot using a paintbrush and then press the foot onto the paper.
When the print is dry add details using markers. That's it!
Have a look at these footprint Christmas cards with:
- white Christmas Tree

I love this. Well done for even attempting it on your own. When we did my Grandaughters Christmas cards using her footprints Mum held her down while I took the footprints lol.
