My baby shower is this weekend. (Yay!) Knowing that I'll have lots of thank you cards to write, I've been looking for inspiration. I think handmade thank you cards are always a really nice gesture, but I'm also short on time (we move in less than a week) and need to make a whole bunch ASAP. I thought I'd share some of my favorite cards I found online. There are a couple of styles I clearly like.
STYLE ONE: Watercolor
STYLE TWO: Cut Outs
STYLE THREE: Text Based Design
STYLE FOUR: Clusters of Little Things
For the sake of time, I'm inclined to think that either some simple watercolor cards or some simple text-based cards would be the best choice. Mostly, I think I need a "thank you" stamp to make things go quickly and smoothly. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by!

The stars are my favorite. Have so much fun at your baby shower!!! So many exciting yet big projects coming together all at once. Take the time to enjoy every moment.

Simple and fast can be beautiful. With so much happening at once, finished and sent is the best option. I’m surprised you don’t have a carved thank you stamp.

Style One! First of all, I love them! Second, I think that you can make these much more quickly than the others, especially under the circumstances! 🙂 Enjoy the party!

My favorite is the splash of water color, if I was looking for quick and easy. I am so happy for you and Steve and cant wait to see picture of the new addition. So nice that you’ll be in your new house by then. Your Mom must be very excited too and I feel sure that she is going to love helping out with the baby. Is this her first grandchild I have two daughters that made me a grandmother one had her baby in December the other had hers in January. Best of luck and warm wishes and blessing on this new big adventure, your life is so full
Hugs and Smiles

My favorite is the watercolor splash. Quick and easy, but so you. I envy your life at this time. So much new and exciting. When I was pregnant and in nesting mode, I got so much done. But don’t overdo and find some time to rest up so you can enjoy motherhood. God bless your family… 🙂

Nice compilation. I agree that simple is better when “mass producing.” I do my own holiday cards every year to remind myself of that. The watercolor cards would be just the right touch of Julie, but simple enough to not add to your to-do list. Instead of a Thank You stamp, you could cut “Thank You” out on your Scan ‘n Cut and stack them up, ala Jennifer McGuire. Congrats on the little one. We’re all very excited for you 🙂

I like the first set, with the watercolor the best And you are correct–you need a good, all-around Thank You stamp! And archival ink, so you can stamp first and watercolor afterwards.

#1 – actually I thought you had made those. And of course, you can easily. Splash of watercolor and then carve one fabulous thank you stamp. Even faster, just a single card/postcard, not even a folded card, write your sentiments on the reverse and pop into an envelope.
Best wishes!

Is there an address where faithful blog readers could send you a handmade baby gift? I have been thinking about this for months but was afraid to ask. No worry if not. ☺
