Scrap Busting Thank You Card!

I am a hoarder of anything card/ paper/ fabric like! I have 2 folders of scrap card



and a jar of wee bits of ribbon

that I can't bare to throw out!


So, in an effort to declutter, I decided to try and use them to make the thank you cards for little e's birthday pressies.


This is what I came up with



I made them like this:

Set up a word document custom paper size 9.5cm x 14cm

Type 'Thank You' in your chosen font, I used Gabriola.

Cut out the required number of pieces of card, 9.5cm x14cm, in a pale colour.

Print them out

Cut Coloured card to A6 size (10.5cm x 15cm)


Wrap a small piece of ribbon round the pale card (I stick it with double sided tape)

 Stick pale card to other card.

Now you can leave it like this or make a wee bow to attach to the ribbon!

Cute little scrap buster thank you cards, done!


Now to write them...

  5. That is adorable! I have been thinking of just getting rid of my small fabric and ribbon scraps, but this makes me think that wouldn't be such a good idea. I'll have to try this out!

  10. I think the designs are so simple. But i still
    find elegance on it. The way it made is really impressive. Do you have other designs of the ribbon. They were so cute:)
