thank you cards

Thank You Cards
I used some black and whites portraits from the wedding and printed the design in fun bright colors. They don't match the rest of the style I used for wedding stuff, except in the colors of the cards & envelopes.
Thank You Cards

Oh wait. You didn't get yours? It's coming. We're busy. And slow.

Thanks to KC for the photos.

    aw thanks! it was pretty easy. i designed the thank you graphics and applied them to each of the images in photoshop. i printed 4x6 photos at sams (matte finish, not glossy) and inserted the corners into slits that i cut into the front half of the card.

    These thank you cards are fabulous! I wanted to do something similar because we wanted simple and classic cards to give to our friends and family.
    Where can I find the cards with the slits? Are they called something in particular?
    THANK YOU!

    p.s. I really enjoy reading your blog : )

    Thanks Stephanie!

    I just used a plain folded card from Sam Flax but it was pretty easy to make them myself:

    I placed the open card on my cutting mat and laid a of the photo on top, and used a pencil to place tiny marks where the start & end points of the slits should be.
    Then (after moving the photo) I used an X-acto knife against a ruler to cut the slits on the front of the cards.

    Hope that helps!
