In addition to all the holiday shopping you're doing and also trying to finish all the handmade gifts you promised yourself you would make...you know you're going to need a few thank you cards, too, right? Wait, did I hear a Grrrr? NO worries, Ella Publishing is coming to your rescue with one of their newest eBooks, 31 Thank You Cards with creative inspiration galore oozing from each and every page!
And just to mix it up, I changed the thank you sentiment to Birthday Girl and created an enclosure card to add to a gift bag...just the perfect size {and no envelope needed} to add a small note for all those classmate parties our kids attend. I used the card featured on page 20 by Kimber as inspiration.
As a thank you to all our Ella friends, use the code CARDHOP which will save you $2 off the 31 Thank You Cards eBook. Fine print: Cannot be combined with any other coupon code or gift certificate. One coupon per customer. Expires 12/10/11.
