Thank You Cards

The Press On stamp set by Stampin’ Up! is perfect to create gift card holders to say thank you at Christmas. Slip in your local coffee shop’s, Starbuck’s or Tim Horton’s gift card to show your appreciation to the many people who deserve it! I am making these for my colleagues this year but I have also made gift card holders for my childrens’ teachers, my hairdresser and even the UPS delivery person. Who else can you think of that deserves a cup of thanks for Christmas?

Make it yourself

You can make this card quickly and easily using the Press On stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. The cute set of coffee cups line up perfectly as they are all one stamp. After stamping in black, colour the coffee cups in a traditional Christmas palette of Old Olive and Real Red. The alcohol markers blend beautifully. I recommend adding some light Crumb Cake ink to the background of the cups to prevent them from appearing to float in midair.

a cup of thanks greeting card — A cup of thanks

The front of this card was folded into three sections. The middle section contains the saying ” A cup of thanks” and allows you to write a short message. I am fortunate to have people in my life that help my family and I on a regular basis. Christmas is the perfect time of year to let them know that they are appreciated.

A gift card can be inserted into the pocket created with the Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper. Be sure to use the fine tip glue pen to adhere the pocket to the card with a thin layer of glue. Do not use too thick of a line of adhesive or the gift card may have a tight fit.

The fall colours are almost finished in Southern Ontario where I live. I love the leaves all decked out in oranges and reds. Yellow has never been my favourite but rather I view it as a backdrop to make the reds more vivid. I created this card to showcase the new Love of Leaves stamp set bundle from Stampin’ Up! The stitching is what sold me – I couldn’t resist the detail the Stitched Leaves dies provide.

This stamp set is perfect for masculine cards. The Love of Leaves bundle not only makes beautiful fall theme cards but is fantastic for the men in your life. This post is titled “thank you card” but could easily be used for a birthday card for your Dad, brother or of course, your husband.

Do you send more thank you cards at Thanksgiving? I missed sending by the holiday this year, but that won’t stop me from sending a card as a random act of kindness.

Love of Leaves card — Love of Leaves Bundle

Create this card yourself

This card is simpler to make then it looks thanks to the Love of Leaves bundle by Stampin’ Up! Three leaves are stamped in Early Espresso ink, Mint Macaron ink and Cajun Craze ink colours. The stamped image is then run through the Stampin die cut and embossing machine with the coordinating die to make the stitched detail on each. A small strip of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper is added to the bottom – with matching colours. Some linen thread adds some nice texture to the card and draws attention to the saying “I’m so glad you’re in my life.”
