Madras pattern printable thank you card

Christmas is over, and it's time to say thank you. I hope you enjoy these thank you notes in a madras plaid. They are 5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide, and the matching envelopes are 3.5 inches tall by 5 inches wide which is the minimum acceptable for the US postal service. The cards print 2 to one sheet of card stock, print the cards, cut them out, and score down the center line to fold the cards. Write your sentiment on the inside. The envelope works best printed on paper. Print, cut out, and fold the side flaps in, then fold the bottom flap up and glue it to the side flaps. Insert the card then fold and tape or glue the top flap. Click on the images for larger versions.

For this set, I made a pair of madras style matching tiles using colors that were inspired by Pantone's spring 2011 fashion color trend picks. Here are the tiles for your own use.

I hope your holidays were wonderful! And thank you all!

Thank You Notes

Like most families, we went around the table on Thanksgiving saying what we were thankful for. Today's printable is a variation on that idea. It's a combination place marker and hopefully a good new tradition. I'm making them up for my family. The idea is that you put in the name of the person who's supposed to sit in that place, and you set it and a pencil or pen at each place setting. After everyone sits down, everyone passes their note to the person next to them and fills in something each on with something you are personally thankful for or appreciate about the person named at the top and keep passing them around until they get back to the original person.
Sometimes, it's just nice to hear thanks or to get a compliment.
At 100 dpi, these will print 2 to a page, then just cut them apart. If you want to make them very neat, you can cut off the borders from the printer margins as well. They should copy well if you want to bring them someplace with a copier and do that to save your black ink.

Before I forget,
Thank you Rachel, for all the work you do with your wonderful collections of projects, for the inspiration you provide to so many crafters.
Thank you Rosemary,  you know what for. But I can't say it enough.
Thank you Teri, you are both inspiration and aspiration.
Thank you Amber, I can quite honestly say my life wouldn't be the same if I hadn't known you.
Thank you Sally for your continued encouragement and support.
Thank you Lori, notes like the one you left are absolutely the reason I want to keep doing this.
Thank you Summer- Again, for the constant encouragement
