Barn Card for Sprout TV

For the past 3 years I have been making and submitting handmade birthday cards to the Sprout Channel. If you aren't familiar with Sprout, it's a channel devoted to Preschoolers. They have a lot of great educational shows and every morning on the "Sunny Side Up Show" they feature a handful of birthday cards. Unfortunately we have yet to have our card make it on air, but hopefully this year will be our year! I know the boys would be sooo excited to see their birthday cards on TV. Here is a look at the card I made for little brother this year. It features Chica (the chicken) in her barn and the gang from The Chica Show.

Using a piece of red poster board, I folded it in half (crease is on the left side) and loosely traced a picture of a barn.

I cut it out along with a two barn doors that pop open

I cut strips of white paper to use on the boarder and doors. And printed out the character pictures from sprout online.com. I created the text (you can use WORD) and printed that out as well.

This card came together pretty easily! Crossing our fingers that we see it on air at the end of March! Now I am working on Big Brothers card. His birthday is also at the end of March :)

Update 3/27/2013

Well, Little Brothers barn card didn't make it on the Sunny Side Up Show, but we were very excited to see Big Brothers birthday card on TV this morning! I made him a Superhero/ Super Sproutlet card. Here is what it looked like and here is the video of Sean and Chica reading it!

Here is the card I submitted for little brother last year
