It’s TGIF time! I hope you all made it through what is usually one of the busiest weeks of the year, at least for our family! Holiday concerts and programs, bake sales, and parties. Whew! I’d love to sneak in a little stamping time this weekend, I’ve got some ideas still left to explore before I’m ready to think about putting away the Christmas stamps!
If you’re looking for some quick projects, Lizzie has the perfect inspiration for you today with her simple and classy holiday thank you cards. Let’s see what Lizzie has to say about her projects today…
“Expressing gratitude is very important to me, but I know I have a tendency to fall behind if I don’t have notes prepared ahead of the holiday season. So I thought today I would share a few styles of simple notes that will make sending messages of appreciation easier.
I chose to pair the Knit Wits stencil collection with Sentiment Suite: Thank You and the Drifting Die to create a batch of quick and easy notes.

The Drifting Die worked beautifully to cut a unique, peek-a-boo border that showcases the knit pattern from the stencil collection. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big impact!
I love that the Sentiment Suite: Thank You set has so many options for conveying my gratitude. This time of year, I often need notes for people who have gone out of their way to be helpful in addition to the folks who are generous with their gifting. This set can cover all of those needs and more!
I also like to keep my notes seasonal with a color scheme that relates to the holiday we’ve just celebrated. It serves as a reminder without having to incorporate trees and baubles and all of the other seasonal trimmings.
Keeping my color palette simple also makes it easy to buy one color of contrasting envelope that will help my note stand out in the mail. A nice pop of red in someone’s mailbox is a fun surprise on a dreary January day.
Thank you notes don’t have to be overly complicated; it’s the expression of gratitude inside that truly matters! But taking a little time to prepare now can make things much easier after the holiday season. Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope I’ve inspired you to get ahead on your post-holiday notes this year!”
