Magical thank-you cards

Cast members are at the core of the magic-making at the Disney parks, and with an upcoming trip planned, I thought it would be fun to create some little cards to have in my bag to thank any cast members that sprinkled us with a little extra pixie dust.

I was inspired by the Disney Creative Co. “Colors of Magic” challenge for June— this bright palette from Toy Story was just the right cheerful feeling I wanted for my cards.

I started with a 3″x4″ base of heavy white cardstock, and I built each card with the same formula, using a different color from the palette for each one. First, I added a layer of patterned paper on top of the white card. From a different paper in the same color, I cut a Mouse Tag with the metal die. I cut white centers for each of the tags and stamped “Thank You” at the bottom before attaching the tags to the card.

I stamped “You’re magical” onto a print-and-cut label and attached it with foam to give some dimension.

As a final touch, I added a color-coordinated padded applique to each tag.

I left room for a small hand-written message on the front; more could be written on the back, if I chose. I packed this little set of cards with a pen into a pouch to carry as we enjoyed the parks!
