Baby Thank You Gift Set

Friends of my husband’s just had a baby and since he helped us move (huge job!) I just had to make them a baby gift. I’ve been too busy getting ready for our own baby (37 weeks as of Sunday! almost there…) to make anything too extravagant but I managed to whip up a set of 10 CAS thank you cards.

Here they are, as a set, all boxed up with envelopes. I would have made the box more interesting but everything I could think of would have gotten crushed when I put it in a padded envie to mail it. And I’m not sure they are the sentimental types to save and/or reuse a pretty box.

Isn’t this stamp gorgeous and detailed? I just love it! I tried interesting my mom in stamping a while back and she bought quite a few stamps but never kept it up so I inherited this beauty! Such a great focal stamp, fabulous all on it’s own.

Here’s the card all by itself. I went with very CAS because I’m told they are not into things that are too ‘frou-frou’! These should work well. I don’t think I’ve ever made cards with so few ‘ingredients’! I’ve made quite a few thank you cards for my own use already but if I run out, I may make a few more of these!

Enjoy, Rebecca
