Easy Thank You Cards

What comes after Christmas Cards ... why Thank You Cards of course.

I found this package of textured thank you cards with a simple copper embossed sentiment in the $1.50 bin at Michael's, and I knew I could use Eyelet Outlet products to make them special.

I started by adding a single brad ... that's all it takes to make a simple card special.  How fun is this cute little Gnome Brad standing on top of the *k*.

This adorable little Bear Brad wearing a cute winter hat makes for a fun thank you as well.

Or maybe you have a few leftover Christmas Brads like this lovely Poinsettia, which are the perfect embellishment for Christmas Gift Thank You Cards.

I really love how the shape of the Holly Brad wraps around the sentiment.

Since the sentiment is copper embossed, I used some gorgeous Copper Dots Foil Washi Tape, which coordinated perfectly (it's kind of hard to photograph with all of that metallic shine).

If a single brad is great ... than a pair of Holiday Mitten Brads is even better.

Or how about some elegant golden Bell Brads.

And the final card is super-fancy with a little champagne bling swirl.

And remember, you don't have to score a set of thank you cards from the bargain bin to make this idea work ... stamping a simple sentiment or even using a sticker on a plain card base because extra special when you add embellishments.
