Happy New Year Everyone! I have enjoyed a little break and had some down time with my family and now I am ready to get going for the year. I am excited to share a Thanks card that I made today with all of you. I received some handwritten notes at Christmas from some friends and it reminded me how much I love notes/cards that someone has taken the time to write to me. So one of my goals this year was to send more cards to friends/family. To start the year off I made these Thanks cards so I thank some great family and friends for some wonderful Christmas Presents we received.
I also have some Thanks Cards using pretty stamp sets you might want to check out!
I love how it turned out and it was so easy to put together that my daughter helped me make a bunch. She has already written out several Thank you cards of her own! Let me show you how easy they are to make!
Thanks Card Tutorial
Supplies needed:
(some of the supplies below I have shared a link to Amazon – I am an amazon affiliate)
- Pink Cards
- White Cardstock
- Scrapbook Paper
- Corner Rounder
- Paper Cutter
- Black Ink (choose either black or brown – whichever goes best with your paper)
- Letters (either use stamps, stickers or rubons)
- Black Ribbon
- Adhesive – I used double sided tape
My pink cards are 4.5 ” x 5.5″ so I cut my white paper 4″ x 5″. The strips of patterned paper (you will need 4 per card) are 1″ x 3.25″.
Once paper is cut round the corners one one side of the strips of patterned paper.
Ink the edges of all of the papers.
Adhere the strips of patterned paper to the white cardstock. Using a stamp, rubons or stickers put “Thanks” on the card. Tie the ribbon onto the white card across the patterned paper strips.
With your adhesive attach the white cardstock to the card and you are done! Now make a bunch!
I just love how these turned out! Do you like to make cards?

Card-making is seriously a DYING art, but I LOVE them. People do everything by facebook, email, etc, but I’m the same was as you – I love to make cards and I quickly forget how much fun it is. Thanks for getting me thinking again!!

Thanks Kaylynn! I know – I used to make cards all of the time and then somewhere stopped. It felt good making cards again and writing little notes to friends!

What a lovely card, and a great way to use up little bits. (and I have the exact same corner punch so I’m all set to rustle up a few of these at the weekend)
