Christmas is over and now it is time to write those thank you notes like these Whimsy & Wonder Christmas Thank You Cards. It may be an old-fashioned thing and email or texting is faster, but a real thank you note is always best! Here are three quick examples!
To keep it simple, I chose the Basic White Note Cards but you could use a regular size card as well. Then I just decorated the cards using the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper. This is your chance to use the “other side” of the fancy paper, although I still cut out some images from the fancy side! You could even just use a strip of the designer paper if you wanted to use up your tiny scraps.
These note cards are 3 1/2″ x 5″, which is a mailable size and they come with envelopes. Therefore, I cut my layer of designer paper at 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″. The “Thank You” is in the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I stamped it with Polished Pink ink just to keep it simple. Then I used different punches for the sentiment.
The first note card uses a pink “other side” of the paper. I cut out some of the packages on another pattern and adhered those to the front of the card, some popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, some flat on the card. Then the “Thank You” was stamped and punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch.
The middle note card is the simplest of all! I just used the striped pattern in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP and added a stamped “Thank You”, punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I added a couple of jewels just for a little extra something.
The note card on the right uses a light green layer, plus a few cut out trees from the paper. The Thank You is stamped in Polished Pink and punched out with the Everyday Label Punch. I do have the dies for the trees, but since I had to clean up and put away my die-cutting machine, dies, and mess for Christmas dinner, it was easier to just cut the trees out by hand! Your recipient won’t know, “Gee, she could have die cut these and she didn’t!!” I added a little White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon behind the sentiment, just the back and forth underneath the label.
Since these Basic White Note Cards are smaller, they are not necessarily meant to be super-fussy cards so you can go a lot simpler and quicker with these! If you made just one style of Christmas card, it might be fun to use that same paper, even if you only used a strip, to continue with the theme of your Christmas cards! Whatever you do, the gift-giver will appreciate a little note (and the handmade note card!) from you! Or just write a note to those who know your family or couldn’t be with you and tell them about your Christmas, just a post-holiday note! It will ease the withdrawal from Christmas cards in the mail and no Amazon packages at the door! LOL!
