Festive Thank You Card Gift Set by Karen

A set of cute thank you notes is a great gift for teachers or friends. I'm still a believer in sending personalized thank you notes and I know there are others out there who appreciate those handwritten notes, too. Using SRM's stickers makes producing several sets really easy. My cards have a cute Christmas theme and will be given to my daughter's teachers. I think they will appreciate them!

I found a bright striped paper in my holiday stash and used it as the main background for this card set. I think layers add so much to cards, especially when you want to keep it simple like these. A layer of black behind the white center makes it pop! I incorporated the cute star / list stamp from the School Days Planner set and added traditional Christmas colors behind the clear stickers to match the theme. The Thank You sentiment is from a non-holiday Stickers By the Dozen set and the cute gingerbread man is from the Stickers By the Dozen Gingerbread Man set. I also grabbed my pre-cut scalloped circle shapes from my stash. You could use a punch or a die cut to make these quickly, too. 

A set of 7-10 cards plus envelopes fit nicely in an A7 size clear box. I added red and silver crinkly paper to my box, too, which really makes it look festive. Nothing more is needed but a bit of twine to tie it all together.

For this project I used:

School Days Planner stamp set | Stickers by the Dozen-Gingerbread Man | Stickers by the Dozen-Thank You | A7 Clear Box | Red and Black Jute Twine

Traveler's Journal by Tobi

Hi there, it's Tobi here with a DIY planner using a traveller's journal and of course, SRM stamps. 

Here are some things that have added up to my current planner situation:

~ I've tried the planner thing... I don't get it, OR I'm not good at it. 

~ I've recently gotten into hand lettering and have started to collect journals to practice in. 

~ I had a very stressful month and kept a notebook of everything i had to remember and keep track of and it really worked for me. 

So, because of these factors, I thought i would continue with the notebook/hand-lettering/journal format, but organize it a little better using various stamps and supplies. 

So I've got my day divided into three zones: 

1) School (I'm a teacher)

2) After school - which includes clubs and rehearsals/performances

3) dinner (we have meal-plans)

As much as I can, I try to fill in the spots using bounce lettering (the style of calligraphy I am working on) so I can practice as many letter combos as possible. 

Here's a mostly blank page so you can see how it looks before I fill it out:

Thanks for stopping by, I hope this was inspiring! 

Supplies: 

Clear Planner Stamps/School Plans

Clear Planner Stamps/Planner Notes To Self

Brush Markers - Marvy
