Thank You Card
I love homemade thank you cards! You know why? Because making them doesn't require a lot from you. It can be the simplest of cards and still send the most genuine of thoughts – a “thank you”. You don’t have to be an expert card-maker to make one. You don’t have to have a lot of crafting materials, too. And of course, you don’t have to rush to Hallmark to get one either. Just whip out some papers, a little of your creativity, and loads of your emotional expressiveness and you’ll be able to come up with a than-you card. And I’m sure anyone will be happy to receive it!
Here are the materials you’re going to need to make this simple card:
- White cardstock
- Brown craft cardstock
- Ribbon (yellow gold)
- Ink pad (yellow gold)
- Corner chomper
- Flower stamp
- Sentiment stamp
- Embossing folder
- Embossing machine
- Gluey tape
- Foam tapes
- Sponge dauber
Steps:
- Gather all your supplies and materials.
- To make an A2 card, cut an 8.5 x 5.5 in cardstock. Score in half.
- Cut a piece slightly smaller than the white cardstock using the brown kraft card.
- Run this sheet in your embossing machine. I chose a pattern of dots.
- Afterwards, adhere the embossed kraft card onto the front of the white card stock.
- Then, adhere the ribbon around the center.
- For the sentiment, using some leftover white cardstock, I stamped “thank you” and a flower.
- Cut out and then chomp the corners of this small piece of cardstock.
- Using the same ink used for stamping, I inked the edges of the small cardstock using a sponge dauber.
- When this is ready, put some foam tapes at the back of the sentiment.
- Adhere onto the center of the card, overlapping the ribbon.
