Simple Little Owl ThankYou Cards

Every January i like to make handmade Thankyou cards for my daughter katie to send out to various family and friends who have sent her gifts and money for christmas, i think its always polite for her to thank people this way as most live on the mainland uk so she doesn't get to see them to thank them personally.

Back in december i brought a cute little owl stamp and i guess this is why i chose a theme of owls for january :)

So i stamped some images on some plain white card then coloured them with various promarkers (a must have for any crafter!)

Then mounted them onto different shades of cardstock


Had a root around and used up some odds and ends of patterned backing papers and came up with these very simple but cute thankyou cards.







Having a theme is certainly giving me inspiration to craft and ive found some other makes id like to try but they have patterns that need printing out and unfortunatly just before christmas my printer blew up :~ so i might just have to go treat myself to a cheap printer to keep me going for now ;)

    Oh those are gorgeous :) What an adorable stamp! I too think it's nice for the children to send thank you notes/cards, and handmade are even more special ;)

    What a shame about your printer... bummer!

    I keep seeing things with promarkers, they look really professional!!
    Such a good idea to have a theme and then create around it. I'm going to look though my stash and try that. Thank you! Great cards :)
