Easy Thank You Card

One of the activities we did this summer was my oldest was a part of a swim team. I was asked by a friend to make a thank you card the kiddos could sign for their coach. She knows I am into making cards now, so it was NO TROUBLE. I made a very simple 5x7 thank you card.

RECIPE:
*White Card Stock
*Beach Theme Paper (from a paper pack sold at Target, several years ago in their dollar section)
*Orange Ribbon
*Best Occasions Glitter Pack (green and blue)
*Printed up Thank You Saying
*Tape Runner
*Xyron 1.5" Create-a-Sticker
*Zots 3D Clear Adhesive Dots
*Scotch Tape





1. Cut beach paper at 6.75"w x 4.75"h.
2. Attach orange ribbon to paper. My ribbon was a scrap piece, so I attached it on the back with scotch tape.
3. Attach paper to card stock with tape runner
4. Run Thank You saying through Xyron as well as one of the glitter squares. (the Xyron is probably one of the few adhesives that works on this glitter paper...it's cheap paper so glitter gets EVERYWHERE. Next time I buy glitter paper I am spending the $$$ to buy the kind that doesn't "shed")
5. Attach all squares, use Zots 3D adhesive dots to attach thank you square on top of ribbon strip.

VIOLA!!

This card literally took minutes and the kid's coach LOVED IT!

Have a fantastic day!!

Extra Paper...

On one of my blogs I love to follow, I found a fellow crafty person who came up with an idea to use strips of paper on a card. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!! I, like most, keep every scrap of paper. I even organized my scraps...my BFF likes to say I organized my "trash". LOL. I came up with 2 cards using some coordinate paper. I really like how these 2 cards came out.

First Card: Heart Felt Thanks
RECIPE:
*Gypsy Wild Card Cartride, Phrase (shift) <3 Felt Thanks cut at 2.71"w x 1.75"h *Stickles Lavender *Black Ribbon *Zots 3D Clear Adhesive Dots *Black Ink (to ink up the edges)


Second Card: Happy Birthday
RECIPE:
*Gypsy Stamping Cartridge "Happy Birthday"
*Blue Ink Pad, I cut the phrase out in white paper to make it pop on the strips of paper. I used my ink pad to give it more depth than being STARK white
*Ribbon
*Xyron 1.5" Create-a-Sticker



I hope you enjoy these cards and get your craft on!
