I love the hot hues thank you cards that Target carries. I have bought them for years. The cards don't seem to be as thick as they used to be, but the colors and designs are still great.I want to somehow easily customize some thank you cards for Elias's first birthday without going with a custom print job. I immediately thought of the Hot Hues cards.
I selected one of my favorite photos from Elias's party, cropped it to 3x4, put two on a 6x4 canvas in photoshop, saved it as a .jpg and uploaded it to Walgreens. I printed a bunch, cut them in half, adhered the photos to the cards using my handy xyron 900 and viola! perfect, adorable first birthday thank you cards.
I will be writing these on my flights to and from Dallas today.
You could easily do this for any holiday - or even just because.

Cute! I was looking in Target last night for some thank you cards and came across those hot hues!! They are adorable! Thanks for sharing your idea!
you're so stinkin' creative. so did that machine just make the photos into stickers, or do you run the photo and the card through together and it sealed them?
Beautiful,Jessica. What a great idea!!
I love this idea and will be using it in a couple of months when my baby turns 1. I need something that is quick and easy cause my time is very limited and this is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this idea :-)
