Next time you want to send someone a card, consider trying out this tutorial! The result is memorable and artistic: it’s a card your recipient will be proud to display. All you need to get started is some card stock, a ruler, scissors, and a dash of patience!
My philosophy on thank you cards is this: the more unique and personal the card is, the more gratitude it communicates. If that’s true, then this stand up card radiates thanks! The concept is fun and flexible: you can easily personalize this card to look however you want it to. Feel free to play around with the instructions below!
