At SuzerSpace, we celebrate birthdays for the entire month. That let’s the birthday person feel extra special, and it also allows for real life to set in.
We can work special treats, shopping trips and meals in and around work responsibilities, bad weather or just grumpy moods.
A couple of years ago I added in the craft of creating a special punch card, which makes for a ceremonial start to each day, as we “punch in” for the event.
Pictured up top of this post is the remnant of this year’s – we went a little crazy and punched some extra spots, but you get the general idea.
I thought we might not be the only ones who’d enjoy this, so I’ve made a simple version for you to make your own – no special craft machines needed.. Click here to download the file (on a desktop computer, not a phone or tablet).
Assembly is easy –
Print the file. You don’t need card stock for this one, just regular printer paper is fine. It gets folded in half to make it double sided and double thick.
Pick the version you need – I’ve made a 30 day and 31 day versions for the various months. Oh shoot – I just realized I didn’t account for February birthdays. Let me know if you need one and I’ll set that up 🙂 .
Decorate the center spot however you like. Maybe have the birthday person do the decorating?
Fold the sheet in half and then open again, and then run a tape runner or glue stick on one half of the sheet. Make sure to cover the area where the outline is.
Fold the sheet back in half to seal the sides together where you put the adhesive.
Trim carefully on the outlines.
Punch in each day as needed!
Pin this for when you need to make a punch card of your very own!
This post will be added to some of these great link up locations.
