“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” ~William Arthur Ward

There are a million reasons to send thank you cards and most people don’t send a single one all year.

Thank you cards aren’t just for when you’re given a gift.

You could even just say “Thank you for being YOU!”

So here are some quick & easy thank you card ideas…

When my daughter made this thank you card recently I knew I had to share it as a reminder to make some thank you cards.

Mint Macaron card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
Patterned Paper: 3″ x 4″
Tranquil Tide: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
Pear Pizzazz: 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″

and it inspired me to make this thank you card…

Mint Macaron card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
Patterned Paper: 3″ x 4″
Basic Black: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
Tranquil Tide: 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″

I’d also like to point out that I successfully tied a bow! It doesn’t happen very often so when it does it’s worth a mention. 🙂

Tips for making a thank you card like these:

• Start by cutting up a 12×12 piece of pretty paper into 3×4 pieces. Here’s a video that shows you how easy it is to make a stack of cards with ONE pretty sheet of 12×12 paper: www.inkitupwithjessica.com/3x4cards
• Tie ribbon/twine around whichever layers you’d like! I tied mine around the second layer, Rachel tied her around all three layers.
• I find it easier to stamp the greeting and then punch it out. Turn your punch over so that you can line up your stamped image.
• Pop your main greeting up with dimensionals. It adds just a little something extra!
• That’s it. Easy peasy!

Grab some supplies and make a thank you card then send it off to someone you are thankful for.

Happy Stamping!
