creative idea #14: photo thank you cards
idea sparked by: blog.alainmartinez.com {very last pic}
- scrapbook paper {9 pieces of 8x11}
- card stock {9 pieces of 8x11}
- ruler
- pencil
- scissors
- tape
- something to string banner with {optional}
- hot glue gun (optional)
- computer + printer
- something round to trace circles around letters {optional. i used a bowl}
- camera
- baby
- props {optional}
- avery 5164 labels {optional}
- post card stamps
directions:
- to make a banner triangle the full size of an 8x11 piece of paper, use a ruler to mark the center of the bottom of the piece of scrapbook paper. trace one line from that point to each of the top corners, to make a triangle. repeat with all scrapbook paper.
- on the computer, type out THANK YOU! in desired font and color, sized to fit your triangles. print on cardstock
- either cut them out right on the letter, or use a round object to trace a circle around them. {i put the circle on the paper and held it up to the light to make sure the letter was centered before tracing}. cut out.
- tape the letters to the triangles
- i was originally going to do this outside and have the banner hot glued on to lace ribbon and hanging from 2 chairs, but i needed to get these done quick so i taped them to the wall instead{no trip to the park necessary}. you choose your plan of attack.
- photograph your adorable subject with desired props.
- edit and print photos.
- because my hand writing isn't the best and i thought it would be fun, i printed out individual thank yous from emery in kid font. i let each person know what emery loved to do with their gift! i printed these on the avery 5164 labels and stuck them on the back of the photo.
what are your favorite thank you card ideas??
love and gratitude,
amber.
