When You Need Lots of Thank You Cards!

Hello friends!  The countdown is on until May 19.  That is the day my youngest daughter will graduate from high school!  I can't believe how fast time flies.  It seems like just yesterday, she was starting kindergarten.  Now we will start planning and getting things ready for her to attend college in the fall.  She will be studying Graphic Design in college and I am really proud and excited for her. 

Graduation parties are starting and that means it's time for a bunch of thank you cards.  My stash of cards has gotten seriously low so it's time to get busy making some quick and easy cards!

For today's stack of cards, I am using supplies from Crafter's Companion.  I have many 6x6 paper pads from Crafter's Companion that would be perfect for some thank you cards.  Today I am using the Signature collection by Sara Davies - Parisian Collection 6x6 paper pad and the Gemini Thanks Stamp and Edge Die to create these cards.  

Here are some of my supplies.......

I didn't put any Kraft cardstock in this picture but that is what I used for my card bases.  I also used some Luxury cardstock that I had in my scrap pile.  I think these sheets were from a Christmas collection by Crafter's Companion.  

Here are my cards.......right now I have 9 cards made!!  Here are two of them.

These are just very simple cards that can be made assembly-line style.  I just die cut as many of the "thanks" edge die as I could from the glitter cardstock I had.  Then I cut the 6x6 papers into 4" x 3" pieces.  That left me with a 2" long piece that I cut to 5 1/4".  That piece makes up the landscape card!  I wanted to use everything I could.  I think I will even see what I can do with the little scraps left over!!  That might be my next blog post.

Here are the pieces I cut from the 6x6 patterned paper pad.

In the paper pad I used for these cards, there was 3 pieces of each design so I can make quite a few cards from those 3 sheets.  I will be trying to use the whole pad because I will need alot of thank you cards!

If you have questions about how I created these cards using my Crafter's Companion supplies, just shoot me an email or leave a comment here on this post!!  Hope you have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!

These are really pretty, Deb! Love the mass production idea, and thanks for the tip on cutting the paper to get three cards from one sheet of paper! CC Kraft is the absolute best! Congratulations to your beautiful girl! Can't wait to see her awesome designs!
