Download your file and print. I recommend printing on 80lb-110lb card stock. You can use lovely matte paper, metallic, kraft, or even colored card stock. These are best printed with a laser printer. You can also take this file to your local kinkos, staples, office depot etc....don't forget to print extras.
Have your tools ready, you'll need a cutting mat, a scoring knife or even a spoon to use for scoring. You can use the rounded part of the spoon to score your paper. It's curved and 'soft' enough that it doesn't rip or tear the paper. My university Art Professor taught us that trick! You may need to print a few sheets to master the use of a spoon - but it works!
- score across your print out - 1 at a time
Take your cutting mat with your knife and ruler. I prefer the metal ruler with the cork (for grip).
Cut down the middle of your card. Do this to all your sheets.
Now you're ready to fold and write your thank you's...told you it was easy! Make sure to find lovely A2 envelopes to compliment your card. And if you're handwriting these too make sure to have a few spare ones to compensate for any errors.
