Simple Thank You Card


This simple thank you card has been created for a friend who showered me with gorgeous Belgian chocolates (yum yum!). The graphical style uses stripy Doodlebug papers, a large velvet brad and delicate paper flowers with pretty floral trim and card sticker lettering for the sentiment.

Use the style as a basis to inspire you for your own design.

You Brighten a Cloudy Day!



Another thank you card idea using Nikki Sivils papers - loving this design. I added brown gemstones to the centres of the flowers, button embellishments and cut a cloud from spare white card. Doodlebug velvety lettering has been used on the sentiment and completed with polka dot ribbon.

A perfect card for a summers day!

Thank You Teacher!




With school children about to finish term for the summer holidays here's an idea for a handmade thank you card suitable for their teacher.

I found this wise owl patterned paper by Nikki Sivils so inspiring. I added wiggly eyes for some movement, Basic Grey lettering and ric-rack. Also Nikki Sivils co-ordinating stickers and sparkly gemstones.

Don't you think the owls are so cute?
