Thank You Pocket Card

One can never have enough thank you cards around.

1.  The envelope is 9" x 4 4/3". 

2.  The inside card is 5 1/2" x  4". 

Depending on what glue you use to close the envelop.

You might need to trim a 1/4" off for a better fit.

3. Arched the top of the inside card and

rounded the  bottom corners.

4. Used graphics from the old pccrafter site by

Kimberly Montgomery "Peace and Kindness".

I could not find where her graphics are for sale any more.

School Thank You

This thank you card was easier than I thought to put together. I used a 6"x 12" sheet folded on the 2", 4", 8", & 10". From the edges it is cut 1 1/2" between the 2" and 10" fold. Graphics used for this card are by Teresa Kogut when she was designing for pccrafter.com. Her sets have been discontinued. Cardstock is from DCWV paper.

The edges of the base is chalked on all folds to give it an aged feeling. Letter rub-on transfers for a chalkboard look. I also put more transfers on the corner of the envelope.

Thank You Cards

Thanks to the very talented artist at pccrafter.com. I needed a couple of quick cards to take for the weekend, and not much time to craft and get ready to go. These cards were ready in a snap. I use Print Shop when I'm in a hurry. It is very user friendly and great for someone just starting. Here's the instructions for each:

1. Open graphic program (use quarter card setting if available)

2. Size graphic to fit the front or on an 8" x 11" use the bottom left corner

3. Print card, cut and fold card.

I added pre-adhesive pearls and brads to the card above.

I cut graphic on white card stock and cut around it with decorative scissors. I chalked the edges of graphic and mounted on red card stock. Tied a bow and attached with glue dot.

This is one of my favorite fall graphics, as you will remember here. I printed two cut the our and counted with dots for dimension.

Variety Bee Cards

I thought this little bee was so cute. It is from the "Thinking of you" collection by Cara Bradshaw at pccrafter.com. The first one I added a Cuttlebug "Hi".

I used a Quickkut Cookie Cutter and a Cuttlebug thank you.
Added puff pen on the dots and a button.
This is a gate fold card with dimensional dots.

Gate fold is very easy. I will be adding a tutorial with weekend for a gate fold birthday card.

Thank you Elvis

There is a nurse's aid, in the health center where my sister-in-law is being cared for, that walks the halls singing Elvis songs. He has really been a big help in her care. Thought I would share the card I made for him. Picture is from album cover. I used Cuttlebug script folder to emboss the front flaps and Nestibilities Dies for the white and red mats. The cute star snaps. I received in a swap.

Monocolor Cards

Thought I would share the cards I worked up for a monocolor swap:

The lettering was done with my Gazelle and a sparkle gelly pen. The font was Romanticly Yours.

This card fits into a standard small business envelope. I used Accent corner brads for the embellishments. The lettering was again done with Gazelle and Bayscript font.

The card below was embossed with Cuttlebug folder, and dusted with a touch of purple chalk.
I used paper by DCWV. The small star button are layered on top of the larger buttons with glue dots. You guessed it, all cards' lettering was done with my Gazelle and some kind of gel pen. The font below is a font by pccrafter.com. Accent brad was also added.

Thank You Card

Thanks to Pam Lafors Designs this notecard was very simple to make.  

1. I used one of her quick scrapbooking pages. 

2. Added the words thank you to the picture window 

3. Print two of the card, desired size.

4. Cut out a second window and chalk edges. 

5. Add your person comment to the back of notecard.

6. Glued small seed beads and a ribbon bow.

5. Add second trimmed Thank You window with pop dots.

There you have quick Thank note to send or give.

Pen Card Insert

We are always getting the nicest pens in the mail for permotions. It is such a shame to let them just sit in my drawer at work.  I decided to see what I could do for a thank you or appreciation card. I used DCWV Embossed paper stack and Far East collections for this card. I cut around the packaging bubble from the advertizer to make the pen holder for the card. 

 

The retangle cut for the opening of the pen bubble I glued to the back for the pattern is continous.  I attached the ribbon tab on the inside with a flower shaped eyelet and added a magnet closure to the back.

Purse Bag

This cute bag is perfect for all occasions. Seen here for a birthday, fall thank you, and Christmas. The Christmas purse was cute twice, then trim the inside layer by an 1/8" on the bottom and side. The templates will be posted on Monday. I'm still trying to perfect a couple of things.

Thank You Banner

The instructions for the Magic Card are not quite finished. I do have a png template. I discovered a few helpful hints on putting the card together that I will include in the instructions. So keep watching.

For today, I am posting another GSD template for the Banner Thank You card I made. With this file you get an added bonus. I have inclued a variation. I hate wasted paper, so when I do a cutter file I always put little extra's on the page to use up all the paper. The font I used for this card is Bell Bottom. The Craft Robo I have will only cut 8 1/2" wide paper. I took a 12"x12" green patterned sheet from ATD Vibrant collection, trimed the paper to 8 1/2" x 12", then cut my file. I used colored beads for the center of the flowers and a metalic dot for the center of the small flowers in the thank you. Since the patterned paper is so light weight, I ran the cut paper through my Xyron and applied it to white cardstock.
