Why we should thank you much more often
Thank you. A word that has a great meaning and yet is usually said only casually.
Saying thank you takes shorter than just a few seconds and often makes a big difference.
An honest thanksgiving puts a smile on our fellow human beings‘ faces and leaves a positive feeling. So take your time and thank your favorite people with a self-designed thank you card.
After the wedding, it is customary to send a thank you card to his guests and thank them for coming and the wedding gifts. But there are many more occasions, such as birthdays, farewells, or births, where you can send a self-designed thank you card.
But a thank you card is not just a medium to get revenge on his guests and helpers for their support at a special event. Tell your favorite people and your everyday heroes, on which you can always rely and who positively influence your life, consciously and with full conviction „Thank you“. In this blog post you will find four simple and creative DIY ideas for your homemade thank you cards.
Thank you with watercolor
Saying thank you with a homemade card is not only much more personal, but also more authentic. Instead of buying a loveless standard card, you can let your creativity run wild and adapt the design to the receiver’s preferences.
Watercolour painting is a great painting technique that turns your thank you card into a real work of art.
Whether it’s a quick sketch in muted colors, a colorful flower and landscape watercolor or an abstract work – there is no right or wrong.
You can also trust yourself with spontaneously improvised color jobs.
And the best thing about a thank you card with watercolor drawing is: you need nothing more than brushes, watercolors and a paper with a high thickness.
If you want to combine your little watercolor artwork with Lettering, you can also use scratch crepe. This way you can easily cover image points that cannot be edited.
Write a big thank you in the middle with the masking film and paint your colorful watercolor drawing above it. After drying you can straighten the scratch and your personal thank you card is ready! A more detailed guide with pictures can be found here.
Thank you with a personal photo collage
Do you want to revisit a special event in your thoughts and remind your guests consciously?

Saying thank you in beautiful writing
You want to say thank you to your favorite people in a very individual way? Handlettering is the ideal way to give your words a special expression and show your appreciation.
Handlettering is also called „the art of beautiful letters“. However, this is not about one’s own handwriting, but about creating something with letters. Thanks to the countless templates and letter tables on the Internet, it is easy to learn and implement.
To say thank you by handlettering you need nothing more than beautiful stationery and a pen.
Depending on the style in which you want to write, a classic Stabilo is enough.
However, you can also design your thank you card with a so-called Brush Pen. The special feature of this pen is its flexible brush tip, which is soaked in color. Depending on the pressure when putting on the pen, the stroke of the brush pen ranges from very thick to very fine.
Say thank you with dried flowers
Flowers have their own language and say more than 1000 words. But putting together and shipping your own bouquet is usually very expensive and expensive. In addition, the flowers have dried up after only a few days and almost as quickly the thanksgiving is forgotten.
But we have a creative alternative, how you can still thank your loved ones with flowers.
Design the front of your thank you card with self-collected flowers that you’ve previously pressed in a book. So you act towards the transience of the plants and your thank you card is still a great memory years later.
