Christmas is over, sadly, and now it is time to make thank you cards with leftover Christmas paper, such as this thank you card made with a piece of the Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper. I think it is sold out now, which means you probably have some! Whatever sheets you have left over, turn them over from the Christmasy side and you might find a plain pattern you can use for any other cards.
This is the simplest kind of card to make. The card base is Soft Sky because it coordinates with the designer paper (remember, colors are listed on the back of every package of designer series paper by Stampin’ Up!) . I cut a layer of Whisper White card stock and adhered a strip of the designer paper to the bottom. Then I stamped a thank you from the very useful One Big Meaning Stamp Set, full of different styles and phrasings of thank yous! Rather than tying the whole piece of the Whisper White 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon all around, just adhere the ends around the back with some SNAIL Adhesive, then adhere that whole piece to the card. Tie a little piece of ribbon on just in a knot for an accent. Or do a bow if you are more adventurous! Very quick and easy and done!
Some of the “Christmas” paper isn’t necessarily Christmasy. Here is the backside of the same striped paper. Perfect for winter (if you are having winter where you live!).
Remember your manners and send those thank you notes, not just an email! It only takes a few minutes to make a card like this and you KNOW you have paper in your stash you can use! Go ahead and use up that precious, pretty Christmas paper we had this year because you know next year will be even better! I’ll have another idea for you another day!
