How to Make a Homemade Thank you Cards with Cricut

Preparing the Image:

Open Cricut Design Space and then click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.

Click on the Images button from the toolbar and search card image ##M4BA68A9D and then click on the image to insert it on the canvas. I have two images placed so I can make two cards at once:)

Cutting the Image on the Card:

Ensure the machine is set to Cricut Maker (or whatever cutting machine you’re using), then select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.

Choose “On Mat”.

Adjust the template to 4.25” x 5.5”.

Place the cardstock in desired color on the cutting mat.

Select browse all materials and choose “cardstock” from the list of materials.

Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the pattern.

Finishing:

Remove the mat from the machine when the cut is complete. Carefully peel off the mat from the card and trim or remove any small attached pieces.

Using a paper cutter (or your Cricut cutting machine), cut a sheet of cardstock to 8.5″ x 5.5″ in the same color as you cut out (in this case white). This will form the base of the card. Fold the sheet in half forming the 4.25″ x 5.5″ card or use a scoring tool for a crisp straight line.

Next cut another sheet of cardstock in a contrasting color (in our case that is green) to measure 4.25″ x 5.5″ (same size as the thankyou cut out. This will be the backing to the cut out.

Glue a contrasting color of cardstock and glue it to the back of the thank you card cutout.

That’s all there is to it! Now you have a beautiful homemade thank you card for the perfect way to show your appreciation. What do you think? Are you ready to make your own? Let us know in the comments below if you do.
