Last year, after my birthday, I decided to make my own thank you cards. I felt that something handmade would show my friends and family how much I appreciated their gifts and well wishes. I hopped online and gathered a bunch of ideas. It was important to me that the cards be simple enough to make but still look thoughtful and special. I settled on a few designs that used materials I already had at home. Making these cards turned into a weekend project. It was more fun than I expected…
