It always seems like I need a Thank You card. I have so many kind people in my life, and I don’t want their thoughtfulness to go unnoticed.
This Cricut Thank You Card is easy enough that you can make a whole stack in an evening. The classic style could also be used for Sympathy, Birthday, or Get Well. Imagine making a stash of these and being prepared during all of the fall months.

I love using my Cricut Explore Air™ machine to make handmade cards. When I saw this sketch at Clean and Simple Stamping, I had an idea for an easy fall card. If you ever get stuck for a card idea, Clean and Simple Stamping has a gazillion….ok maybe only thousands of card stetches.
The Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge, was in my very first Cricut Cartridge order. Looking back, that was aged ago, but it’s still a great cartridge to have in your collection. I had seen this leaf many times, and I thought it would work great for this card.
Supplies Needed for Cricut Thank You Card
- 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ off white cardstock for card base
- 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye
- 5 1/2″ x 3/4″ orange cardstock (This was actually the back of the patterned paper, so the colors match perfectly.
- 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ cream cardstock
- 4″ leaf die cut from the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge
- Small Thank You Stamp
- Brown Ink
- Branches Cuttlebug Folder and Cuttlebug Machine
- Tape Runner Scrapbook Adhesive
- Glue Dots
- Pop Dots
- Copper Stickles Glitter Glue

If you look closely, you can see that some of the papers have a linen texture. Textured papers have a really nice weight that’s great for making cards. This paper came from Bazzill Basics. You can also see how I added the Stickles Glitter glue to give the leaf some texture.
Intructions
- Fold card base in half.
- Using tape runner, attach cream square to center of patterned paper and attach to card. It is offset to the right side of the card.
- Using the Cuttlebug, emboss the orange cardstock and attach to the card with glue dots.
- Stamp Thank You or other sentiment in the lower left of the cream square.
- Using a Pop Dot or dimensional tape, attach the left to the card.
- To finish the card, add glue accents with Stickles.
When using card sketches, keep in mind that they are only a guideline. You don’t have to follow them exactly. When I laid out the card exactly like the sketch, I thought it looked awkward. I rearranged it a little, and now it’s perfect.
Sometimes, I have to rearrange elements or even turn the card sideways to get the look I want when using a sketch. Don’t be afraid to try out something new.
