End of the Year Thank You Cards



Cecily finished up her first year (half year actually) of preschool last week and had her dance recital over the weekend! So I made some thank you cards to give to all her teachers and helpers.

I knew I wanted to use doilies and some vintage pieces I had found online, but I didn't have a clear sketch/layout in my head so I checked out a card class at Big Picture Classes and found a great sketch in one of Carissa Wiley's classes.

I made 7 cards assembly line style, 3 identical cards for preschool:

I love that little girl at her easel. She reminds me of Cecily. :)

And 4 different cards for dance:

I think the last one is my favorite because, again, she reminds me of Cecily! :)

The "thank yous" are stamped and heat embossed on pieces of vellum, and they are certainly not perfect, but that just lends itself to the homemade look... as do the globs of hot glue holding on the sequins. Haha! I splashed a little gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine on each card and called them done! I love how they turned out!

Next I packaged them all up with some chocolate bars:

And they were all ready for Cecily to give to her wonderful teachers and helpers! I hope they liked them and felt appreciated. We certainly appreciate everything they've done for Cecily this year!!

Thank you so much for taking a look at my project! I hope you enjoyed it! :)
