This simple thank you card was made using the Cricut
Storybook cartridge. It can be put together very quickly.
In fact, try cutting out a whole page of the "thank you"
design and you can put together many cards at once so you will always
have a handmade thank you card ready to send.

Detailed
Instructions:
1. Fold a
8.5" x 5.5" piece of white card stock
in half to create a 4.25" x 5.5" card. This is a quarter-fold
card and will be the card
base. From one sheet of 8.5" x 11" card stock you can make two
cards.
2. Cut a patterned sheet of paper to 4" x 5.25".
Glue this mat to the
front of the card.
3.
Using the Storybook cartridge, load the white paper on
a mat. You want to cut the black-out frame first. To select
this, press the "thank you" button (button 44). Then press
the "accent blackout" special feature button. Cut
at size 2.75".
4.
Load the teal paper on to a mat.
To cut the thank you in the frame, once again press the "thank
you" button (button 44). Then press the "accent/frame" special
feature button. Cut this at size 2.75".
Assemble the card by
gluing all the components on the front
of the card.
