Handmade thank you cards





Maternity leave is an interesting time. The days are alternately really busy or really slow depending on how much the baby sleeps, and depending on how much sleep I got the night before...One of my favorite activities over the last month has been designing and making thank you cards. These post cards are built on cardboard cut to size from the many card board boxes we've been getting with gifts for the baby (or diaper shipments). I got this great idea from the BBB Craft blog, which is full of wonderful DIY ideas and beautiful pics of the finished products!

The first design is very "meta", as it uses the light blue and vellum papers I used for my sister's wedding invitation years ago, along with the postman's string I used in our wedding invitation, to make the heart and little knots at the corners. The second two make use of a linoleum cut I made last week stamped with white acrylic paint...
