Thank you cards!

You knew I had to sneak one more project in there! Yes, I handmade our thank you cards and they were super easy to make, especially when paired with a pint of Shiner and episodes of SVU.

I made two different sets based on the materials I had on hand. The first set is the “tag” set and looks like this…

When I ran out of tags, I made a “bunting” set…

Colorful, blank cards
Leftover scrapbook paper, tags, and ribbon from previous projects
Scissors
Double-sided tape
Needle
Thread
Stamps
Ink pad

We are just now getting around to finishing the sending of the thank you cards because, well, life was a bit hectic after the wedding. We sent out half of them, we moved, and then I lost my list in the move. Grrrr! However, the list has been found and anyone who hasn’t received a “thank you” in written form will be getting one soon.

Has anyone else had the crazy notion to DIY their “thank you” cards, too?

Our thank you cards is a picture of us at our wedding day holding a sign that says “Thank you”. I printed them on cards and sent those out. But your’s is awesome! I bet everyone really enjoyed that personal touch!

I have a new goal this year and that is hand-making as many cards as possible…birthday, wedding, anniversary etc. It is SO much fun to put so much thought into each one…perhaps this will carry over to my thank you’s because these look awesome!

Haha so cute! Seeing as how I am dragging ass trying to get the last few thank you notes out the door, this is definitely not a project I’d be partaking in. But these are wonderful for your guests, bravo!
