DIY Thank You Postcards with Graphics

DIY Thank You Postcards with Graphics is sponsored by GraphicStock. All opinions are 100% my own.

I LOVE making homemade cards, gift tags, and invitations. If you follow this blog, you have seen many of my tutorials for it all. The hardest part however is coming up with the graphics. These days, you can’t simply do a Google image search and take what comes up. Most people don’t know where to go to get images, and if you’re using google to grab images, you may be running into copyright issues.  GraphicStock solves all those needs by giving you royalty free access to their vast library. I mean, check out all these beautiful shabby chic downloads that are available.

GraphicStock has over 250,000 graphics and images, and just scrolling through the images will give you so many different creative ideas.  Make t-shirt designs, wedding invitations, even food decorations!  Graphics doesn’t just have to be for the professional designer, it can be used in everyday life. Here are some examples Mason jar graphics that are perfect for wedding and shower invitations.

I made some fun DIY Thank You Postcards that can be mailed. I designed my card using this download, this download, and this download from GraphicStock and printed them out.

I cut them out with a paper cutter and added photo corners.

Lastly, I glued them to cardstock to complete the postcard. These postcards are 5”X6”.  According to the US Postal Service, to qualify for mailing at the First-Class Mail postcard price, it must be:

Aren’t they cute??? If you make a set, they would make great gifts for Mother’s Day or Teacher’s Appreciation Day too.
