QUICKIE THANK YOU CARD RECIPE

Skill Level: Easy                   Card Size:A2

Hello & happy Friday! Did you ever need a thank you card in a hurry, but didn't have any on hand? If so, then this might be a great card idea for you. It took me less than 15 minutes to create using only basic supplies!

INGREDIENTS:

Images: Floral Image & phrase of your choice (I used a 2-step stamp set & phrase from TAC)

White cardstock; A2 size & smaller piece to fit your image

Black cardstock: Cut 1/4" larger than small white piece on top and one side.

Ink pads: Black, pink & light green (if you're not using a 2-step stamp, color in with markers)

Black sheer ribbon

1/8" hole punch

Scissors

Adhesive

DIRECTIONS:

1. With black ink,stamp image on small piece of white CS

2. Color in image

3. Attach this piece to black CS.

3. Decide where you want to place ribbon, then punch 2 holes in CS about 1/4" - 1/2" apart. Insert ribbon through holes, tie off & cut "V" shape into tails.

4. Attach your image to card front at an angle, as shown in photo.

5. Stamp "Thank You" on card front directly below image, as shown in photo.

Okay, the card is finished! If desired, you can stamp a phrase on the inside with black. I left mine blank so I can hand-write a note for the recipient.

IDEAS:

If you want to add a little extra bling to the card, try adding some pearls, rhinestones or other quick embellishments you have in your stash! If you don't need the card in a hurry - add some glitter glue and set aside to dry for 1/2 hour.

I'd love to hear from you & see what ideas you've come up with - you can post your ideas, comments or questions below!  As always, I hope I've helped to inspire your creativity today! Smiles, Laura
