Animal Circle Cards

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• DCWV basic double-sided cardstock
• White cardstock
• 1/4", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2", 3 1/2" circle punches, or various circular items you can trace and cut out. (These are the sizes needed to complete all five cards.)
• Scissors
• Glue
• Black pen

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fold brown cardstock in half. Punch a 3 1/2" (or similar) circle from folded paper, keeping a small amount of the fold unpunched to create the card base.
2. Layer black circles on white to create the eyes.

1. Layer a bright pink circle on a tan circle to create the snout. Use a black pen to draw the mouth.
2. Layer a pink and a brown circle to create the ears. Attach to the back of the card.

1. Layer two small circles on a larger pink circle to create the snout.
2. For the ears, punch a pink circle. Slide one half of the circle back into the punch and and punch it again to create a leaf or petal shape. Do the same with a smaller circle and layer them together. Adhere to the back of the card.

1. Cut a triangle from orange cardstock to create a beak. Adhere it under the eyes.
2. Punch a 1" circle from blue cardstock and cut it to create tufts. Adhere to the back of the card at the top.
3. For wings, punch a light blue circle. Slide one half of the circle back into the punch and and punch it again to create a leaf or petal shape. Adhere to the back of the card.

1. Layer pink circles on top of gray circles to create ears. Adhere to the back of the card.
2. Cut three thin strips of white cardstock to create whiskers. Cross them over each other and adhere to the bottom front of the card.
3. Punch a pink circle for the nose and glue to the center of the whiskers.

1. Punch purple circle for the nose and adhere it overlapping the eyes.
2. Punch a small black circle and trim off two sides with scissors to create eyebrows.
3. Punch a larger black circle and cut it in half to create the mouth. Cut teeth from white cardstock and adhere them inside.
4. Cut spiky hair from darker purple cardstock and adhere to the back of the card.
5. Punch two green circles and adhere them to the back of the card to create ears.

Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:

• Circle punches are super helpful, but you can trace or hand-cut the shapes as well. You could also try using googly eyes instead of cardstock.
