Finally I am made some cards, and accomplished a little Christmas baking. It seems like no matter what I am focused on, there is something else nagging at me that needs to be done. Tis the season.....
Every year I try to make a few simple cards for the special people in my life who consistently make it easier...people like the gardener, mail lady, UPS (yes we are on a first name basis - **shock** I know!), the cleaning lady and a few others. They all go above and beyond and I want to be sure they feel thanked and appreciated, especially this time of year.
And of course every year the card needs to be different. Not sure they would remember or care, but I do! So this year I used a file from The Cutting Cafe that is a "thanks money holder card". It was easy to cut with my Silver Bullet and Sure Cuts a Lot and I like the touch of Christmas paper on the "thanks". The papers are from Recollections at Michael's - I think I picked them up last year. Yes I am trying hard to use what I have.
I kept these simple - and then printed their names on labels, affixed them to the other side and presented them in a clear envy.

Added a closure to make it easy to open and close
These are easy to apply fasteners that work really well --

Same card in red
These were fun and easy to do and the recipients seemed to love that they were handmade.
