Yay! My girls got their bridal shower thank you packs in the mail this week, so I can share some more card making craftiness.

I love receiving handmade cards. I just think they’re so meaningful. Being a DIY girl, naturally, I wanted to say “thanks” to everyone who was a part of my bridal shower with a card that I crafted myself, rather than purchasing a premade cards (though I almost bought some gorgeous letterpressed thank yous from Paper Source).

To make the thank you cards, I started off with the following supplies: Coffee bean colored ink, branch stamp, “thank you” stamp, 20 blank cards and envelopes from Paper Source, and a flower punch. Not shown: Patterned paper, metal brads, 1/16″ hole punch.

First, I stamped two branches onto the blank card.

Then, I stamped a “thank you” in the bottom right corner.

Using leftover gift wrap paper from my bridal shower (which my cousin also purchased from Paper Source), I punched a bunch of flowers.

In each flower, I made a 1/16″ hole to stick the brad through

I punched corresponding holes ino the card and attached the flowers using metal brads (the mini sized brads with a smaller head).

Voila! A montage of “thank you” cards.

I also stamped the front of the envelope before I tucked the cards inside.

For my bridesmaids, I mailed the cards along with a small package of shower goodies, inlcuding a gel eye mask, terry headband (to pull their hair back when they wash their faces), and an exfoliating face pad.

Tied neatly with a bow and pink tag.

Happy card crafting!
