5 minute thank you card
WHAT I LOVE! This 5-minute thank you card is the perfect mix of elegant and easy! The Label Me Grateful Bundle makes creating a polished focal point effortless—just stamp, die cut, and go! The Christmas Greetings Cards & Envelopes add instant sophistication with their gold-foiled plaid design (no extra layering needed!). A few gold sprigs and sparkling gems give it that simple yet refined finishing touch that I adore.
