Easy Cricut Thank You Card

September 15, 2017 by Pam Larmore 1 Comment

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.

 

Make an easy Cricut Thank You Card using the Cricut Expression or the Cricut Explore. This is a great card, using a sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping.

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

  1. Fold card base in half.
  2. 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.
  3. Using the Cuttlebug, emboss the orange cardstock and attach to the card with glue dots.
  4. Stamp Thank You or other sentiment in the lower left of the cream square.
  5. Using a Pop Dot or dimensional tape, attach the left to the card.
  6. 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.
