signature thank you

I consider this card to be my signature thank you card. and I have made way too many of them recently. (I made about 30 for our clinical sites last semester). they are easy, and I think unique and cute. they are also very versatile - you can use so many different patterns to fit the situation.

to make this card, cut out a piece of thicker paper so that you have a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. cut out six 3/4 x 4 in. rectangles out of patterned or solid paper. cut out six 1/2 x 3 1/2 in. rectangles out of light solid paper. write t-h-a-n-k-s on the light solid paper, and glue the light colored paper with letters onto the larger rectangles, leaving a slightly larger border on the top of the larger rectangle. attach the letter rectangles to the card using eyelets or brads.

thanks a bunch!

to make this card, make a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in. card base of white cardstock. cut out a 4 x 5 1/4 in. rectangle of patterned paper. glue to the middle of the card base, leaving a small border. cut out 2 x 3 in piece of complementing floral paper, and a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 in. piece of white cardstock. glue the floral rectangle to the white rectangle. insert brads to three of the corners. glue the rectangle to the left side of the card. cover a pre-cut chipboard letter t with paper, and sand down the edges. glue to the rectangle. use rubons to write the rest of the word thanks. use a brad to attach flowers to the right side of the card.

big star

I made this card as a thank you card for graduation, but there is no writing on it, so it can actually be used for pretty much anything.
to make this card, cut a piece of cardstock to be 12x3 in. fold into thirds, making sure that the top section is short. punch out a star (or other shape) using a punch, die cut, or cricut. attach the shape to the card using an eyelet or brad, making sure it hangs over the short edge.

thank you squares

to make this card, use a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 in. card base, made from textured or bazzill paper. cut a 5 1/2 x 1 1/4-1 1/2 in. rectangle. tear the top and bottom edges of the rectangle. glue to the center of the base. cut eight 3/4 in. squares of a dark background color, and eight 1/2 in. squares of white paper. glue the smaller white squares to the larger background squares, and then onto the ripped rectangle. spell out thank you on the squares. punch out and insert eyelets on the edges of the ripped rectangle.

a big thank you

to make this card use a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base of thick patterned paper. cut a 5 1/2 x 2 1/4 inch rectangle of solid colored or patterned paper. cut another rectangle of plain colored or bazzill paper 5 1/2 x 2 inches. glue them together, leaving a border on the top and bottom. cut a 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch patterend paper. glue down the single rectangle first, leaving a border of the patterned card base showing. then glue the double rectangle down, leaving a larger portion/border of the card base. punch in two eyelets on each side of the double rectangle. cut out the words "thank" and "you" using a cricut (opposites attract) or diecut. glue down "thank" first across the double rectangle. then glue "you" down on top of the bottom portion of "thank".
