A little thanks

A set of 'thank you' cards I recently made for a friend, whose family member had just suffered a serious accident. Another mutual friend suggested a group of us make 10 cards each and forward on for the friend and her family to use, for those who had helped immediately after the accident and through the recovery period. What an awesome idea Paula!

Supplies used are plain brown card stock, Pebbles Inc papers, plain paper with typed word and staples. Cut card stock to A5, fold in half to create card. Print your desired word on white paper, leaving sufficient room to cut out a 9.5x2cm strip. Cut circle (roughly 4cm in diameter) out of same card stock that card is made from. Cut 2 rectangles of co-ordinating papers (roughly 8.5x6cms) and adhere to one side of the card, setting slightly apart. Staple circle to the end of the strip, ensuring that finished length does not exceed width of card. Staple other end of strip to match. Adhere strip of printed paper and circle over the gap between the two papers.

Simple and quick to make and they can be personalised with the initial of the receiver, a stamp, or sticker in the plain circle.
