In today’s post I want to share a thank you card design that I used to create 18 thank you cards. This is a very simple layout and you can use any paper or stamps and/or dies to make this yourself. Keep in mind that this card can also be for any occasion…just change out the sentiment or remove the sentiment and bundle a few together and give as a gift of lovely notecards.

The card base itself is A2 which is half of an 8.5” x 11” letter paper folded in half. This particular card is folded so that the card is landscape but a few that I made were actually portrait style. The designer paper is 4” x 2-3/4” and the mat is 4-1/4” x 3”. I chose to use a white mat to make it a clean and bright card but you can also use a coordinating color of cardstock and that would be a great look too.

Once I got the designer paper matted I popped it up to add dimension. I also added dimension to the sentiment as well. It’s got some flair but still not too thick to cost extra postage.

The sentiment was cut out in plan white cardstock while the mat was just in some gold mirror paper that I’ve had around my craft room forever. I think it’s some old Recollections paper from Michaels that I bought in a 50 page pack that will last for quite a while. I’m sure a version of it is still being sold at Michaels in gold as well as other colors.

Below is a picture of another card with slightly different paper. It’s same designer paper, it just has a pink background. I believe it is some retired Stampin’ Up paper that had a coordinating acetate overlay with gold accents. But you can substitute whatever paper you like and have on hand. You can easily get over 10 designer paper card fronts out of a single 12”x12” piece of paper.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my simple card. Next week I should have some more A5 scrapbooking to share. Keep it crafty!
