Example
Example: an end-of-year thank-you card for a second-grade teacher, to colour in
At the end of the school year Mia, 7 (fictitious), wants to give her teacher a card she has coloured herself. Her dad enters: name on the front “Ms. Rivera”, a message of her own, signed “Mia”, Fold: in four, Colours: outlines to colour in, Paper: US Letter.
- The greeting is left empty, so the front says “Thank you!” over the leafy drawing and, under it, “For Ms. Rivera”: the card adds the “For” itself.
- Inside: “Thank you for a wonderful year in second grade”, “and for helping me love reading.”, “I will miss your class!”, a blank line, “Love,”. That ends in a comma, so “Mia” signs right under it.
- thank-you-card.pdf is one page, printed on one side: front and back along the top, upside down, the inside along the bottom. Every drawing is an outline, ready for crayons.
- Fold the sheet in half across with the print outside, then in half down the middle: the card is 4¼ × 5½ in and fits an A2 envelope (4⅜ × 5¾ in).
| Part of the card | What is printed |
|---|---|
| Front | “Thank you!” with leaves, and under it “For Ms. Rivera” |
| Inside left | Nothing: room for a drawing or a class photo |
| Inside right | Mia’s message, then “Mia” |
| Back | A small drawing; on the free plan also a small “Made with nouplo.com” line |
A card the size of a shop-bought note card from one sheet of plain paper. For the classroom aide, change the name on the front and download again. For a sturdier card choose “In half”, print both sides on card stock and fold once to 5½ × 8½ in.
How it works
- Type who it is for and what you are thanking them for, or keep the example.
- Sign it, and choose colour or outlines to colour in.
- Download the PDF, print it at 100 % and fold along the dashed lines: in four, fold the sheet across with the print outside, then in half down the middle.
Frequently asked questions
- What should I write in a thank-you card?
- Name what they did and what it meant: “Thank you for the lovely blanket — the baby sleeps under it every night.” Two or three sentences are plenty.
- How do I fold it?
- For the card in four: print on one side, fold the sheet in half across with the print outside, then fold it in half again down the middle — the front ends up on top and the message inside on the right. For the card in half: print on both sides, flipping on the short edge, and fold once.
- What paper should I use?
- Plain paper works for the card in four, which is two layers thick. For the card in half, card stock of 160–250 g/m² (60–90 lb cover) feels like a shop-bought card, if your printer takes it.
- Can I print several?
- Make one card, print as many copies as you need, and write each name by hand — or change the name and download again.
- What size is the folded card?
- Folded in four, a US Letter sheet makes a 4¼ × 5½ in card, which fits an A2 envelope (4⅜ × 5¾ in), and an A4 sheet makes an A6 card (105 × 148 mm) for a C6 envelope. Folded in half, Letter makes 5½ × 8½ in and A4 makes A5 (148 × 210 mm).
- What is printed inside if I leave the message empty?
- A short general message: “Thank you so much for everything. It really meant a lot to me.”, then “With warm wishes,” with your name signed under it. To leave the inside blank for handwriting, type a single space in the message box.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The card is made in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.
