I’m not really into Thanks giving seeing i’m English but don’t mind saying thankyou so here is a Quick and easy card using minimal tools with great effect. You can whip up lots in one go so ideal for saying thankyou for your birthday pressies or any reason you have to say ‘Thankyou’. I’m going to send some of these to my friends just because ! Hope you all like x
ITEMS NEEDED: Daisy Border punch, Paper Trimmer, XL Heart Squeeze Punch, Scissors, Adhesive, Foam pads, Journal pen, Red & Turquoise card, Matchng Patterned paper.
INSTRUCTIONS:Â Cut your cardstock 12″ x 4″ and fold.
Cut a red piece of cardstock 6 x 15cms Glue this to your folded card front 2/3 cm from the bottom horizontally.

I would never think to put those colours together Jayne but WOW! Don’t they just go? This is yummy! Thanks for the envelope instructions too.
Stunning card Jayne, I love that daisy border punch. I shall be putting it on my Christmas list!
Thanks for the tips on making an envelope to fit your card.
This card really jumps out at you with those bright colours, love it. Love the daisy border punch too. Thanks for sharing how to make envelope, I’ve made a few cards that dont fit any of my envelopes and now I can make my own - thank you.
Love those colours together!
Gosh this is lovely thank you so much for showing me how to make an envelope. I love making different sized cards, this will really help me.
Beautiful card but I have to say I agree with the not doing thanksgiving thing lol.
I like the bold colours although it is fairly simple it works so well as a design.
Ditto what everyone else said about that colour combination, it really works, great card too!
Never thought of making my own envelopes before but I might have a go, at least it wont limit me to my envelope size.
Love the colour combination, its a beautiful card. Just wondering if you used the snowflake punch and a different embellie, you could have just designed Christmas cards.
