If your like me and still need to send out a few thank you notes from Christmas, here are the cards I made this year as well as how to make them. 
The finished product – see below for the how to

I used stock card base that I purchased at Michael’s. It came with the card and envelope. I also used the free Cricut craft room to size and cut all my pieces. The cartridges I used for this project were the Cricut Essentials cartridge and Cricut Craft room basics. The essentials was pre-loaded on my Cricut Expression 2 and the Craft room basics is free to anyone who uses the Cricut Craft room (which is also free).

I cut out a rectangle at 3.625 x1 in the holly paper and a scalloped edge at the same size in a green paper. They are from the Craft Room Basics and Cricut Essentials respectively. Then I adhered them together using one of my new Christmas presents.
 
Now I realize if you are like I was a mere 2 months ago, that ‘tape glider’ is obnoxiously large and you wonder who on earth would use such a thing. Well, apparently me and lots of other people. If you go to buy it in a craft store, they will try to sell it to you for $40, which is highway robbery. You can buy it on amazon for around $18(the price seems to fluctuate, but is usually between $15 and $20). The refills are a good price (2 rolls that are 36 yards each are only about $7) and the nice thing about this obnoxiously large tape gun is that you get lots of tape, which I have learned is great for when you are working on projects like this and need lots of tape to adhere all of these pieces together in a fashion that they will not fall apart.
Next I cut out a rounded corner square from the Cricut Essentials. It is 3.625 x 4.611. Of course all three of these pieces needed to be adhered together.
I cut out a smaller rectangle (it is 3 x .597) and stamped it with “Thank You” using a Close to My Heart stamp set and ink that I had.
I made these cute flowers using a Creative Memories scallop circle maker(clicking on this link will take you to my consultants website, use your own consultant if you have one. If you don’t let mine know I sent you…Thx!). My inspiration for making this card and where I learned to make these flowers came from the Raspberry Suite blog. Check it out and learn to make your own!
All the pieces put together and ready for assembly
On the back of the card don’t forget to let people know you made your card. I used a Close to My Heart Stamp that I have with a heart that says “Made by Me.”
The finished card
As far as I know(no one let me know theirs was chewed up or anything), these mail just fine even though the flower adds a little height to them.
