A little more about this look
Thank You Kindly is a plain, white card for saying thank you properly: after a wedding, a dinner, a favour that mattered, or for the teacher at the end of the year. The front is a full-bleed photo with the words thank you set over the lower third, so choose an image with a calm area near the bottom, sky, a tablecloth, a wall. Inside on the left is a single polaroid-style frame with a caption, a good spot for the photo that shows what you are thankful for.
The right side is all message: a centred block for a few sentences and a signature line, set in one clean sans so it reads like a letter rather than a greeting-card verse. The back carries a small square photo and a sign-off. Because the design is white, it prints well on cheap printers and on bright white card, and it looks just as good with black-and-white photos as with colour.
The card prints on one side of a single portrait sheet, so any home printer works and nothing has to line up on the back. The inside half prints upside down along the top of the sheet; that is correct, because the first fold turns it the right way up. Print at 100% or Actual size, never Fit to page. Card of 160 to 200 gsm stands up on a shelf; plain paper works but feels like a leaflet. Fold the top half behind, then the left half behind the right, crease with a ruler and press it under a book. This card holds 3 photos.
How you will assemble it
1Print the sheet. One page, portrait, 100% scale, one side.
2Fold the top half behind. Keep the print on the outside.
3Fold left behind right. Fold the left half back behind the right half so the front ends up on top.
4Press it flat. Put the card under a heavy book for a few minutes so it stays closed.
