INSTRUCTIONS

bulletThere are three templates for each of the card:
bulletthe main template 
bulletthe window template
bulletthe poem template
  
bulletYou can mix and match or skip pieces as you see fit.  
  
bulletPrint one of each type of template.
  
bulletColor the main template (if you choose the B&W option)
bulletIf you choose the BLANK main template, glue a small photo of the child, favorite pet, recipient, etc into the center area.  You could also cut pictures of favorite toys or flowers out of a magazine and glue them to the center area.
bulletCut out around the outside line.  
bulletFold in half on the dotted line to make a basic card.
  
bulletNow move onto the window template
bulletcolor as necessary
bulletcut it out around the outside line
bulletcut out the CENTER of the window (so you can see through the card.  I usually get a start on it for the kids and then let them finish it)
bulletOPTIONAL:  glue/tape a piece of clear cellophane to the back side so that it looks like a window.
  
bulletGlue the window template over top of the front of the main template.  It makes it look like your character is peeking through the window!
  
bulletPrint out the poetry template.  Cut out around the outside line and glue to the inside of the card.
  
bulletLet the kids write "Happy Easter" or "Spring's Here!" or some other short note to the front of the card and fill in whatever they wish to the inside of the card.
  
   
bulletClose the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
   
bulletSet page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
