Greeting cards are fun and easy to make……once you FINALLY get an idea! LOL Acrostics are a way to say a lot without being “wordy”. If you Google “acrostic poem ideas” on Goggle Images, a bunch of examples fill up the screen in a matter of seconds.

Thanks to my Mom, I didn’t have to work at all for an idea! I got a text from her with the acrostic spelled out, how easy is that? Thanks again, MOM!

I thought it would be fun to use my FREE magazine fonts for most of the first letters and a paper flower for the letter “O”. I used glue stick to attach them to the 10 x 7 piece of cardstock.

Step ONE: Go through some magazines and cut out larger fonts for the first letters of the acrostic words. Use glue stick to attach them to the cardstock.

STEP TWO: print out “old”, “atiently”, “xpecting” in your choice of colors. Cut them out and attach with glue stick. Use hot glue to attach a paper flower if you have one.

At the last minute I decided to personalize it with “I am hoping and praying for you!”

Since it is easy as pie to make a free printable, I made a pdf. you that you can click and print. The pdf is for a full size A7 greeting card to give away or use as inspiration for your own magazine font card.
