Do you have an ample stash of common cards?  Get well?  Thank you?  Birthday?  Most of us use them up faster than we can make them, and then there are those times that the occasion doesn’t necessarily call for a full-blown card with tons of embellishments.  Just something that you can create in a flash (and not too expensive to make!).

Here are two very quick and easy cards, and the best thing is that I can prepare one in about 5 minutes or less.  They still look great, and are “handmade”, but I had a helping hand with My Digital Studio.  Note:  These card fronts were printed on my own printer.

The MDS sets used for this card were Playful Polka Dots (flowers and stems) and Day of Gratitude (sentiment).  All that was needed was a little dragging and dropping, shadow adjustment and printing.  I printed on a piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White card stock, added a Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon bow and some Pearls Basic Rhinestone and adhered it to an Old Olve card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is a designer template (Sunny Day) in MDS.  Soooo cute.  Since even the designer templates are fully customizable, I simply adjusted the shadows and removed the printed button so I could add my own.  This was printed on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhered to a Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A coordinating button with a baker’s twine bow was added with a couple of Glue Dots and two Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to accentuate the Thank You sentiment.

The best thing about these two cards is that they are stored on my MDS, and ready to be printed at the drop of a dime.  Can you imagine how quick it would be to whip up these cards?  I love being prepared for the unexpected!

I thought of making these thank you cards when I was finishing up my NEW Invitation Tutorials because any occasion where invitations are needed, so are thank you cards!  A set of these thank you cards would be a very thoughtful gift for a graduate or a friend or relative having a baby or wedding shower.  With the vast array of images on MDS, you could quickly and easily customize a thank you card fitting for any occasion.
