American Bald Eagle "THANKS" cards *with measurements

Ahhhhhh..   working with one of my favorite stamps again..  the Bald Eagle Portrait stamp from StampersBest (use code: airbornewife on any orders to save 10%)

I am working on filling a flat rate box to send to Operation Write Home. They are all "Thank You" cards and I need to get this out in the mail pronto..   The bottom of the box is full..  but none of the cards are tucked in envelopes.. so by the time I do that, I do believe that it will fill up not only the bottom.. but the top as well and I can get it postal.

I made a card like this a while back that had a "Thank you for your service" stamp on it..  I just changed the sentiment strip to read "Thanks" and got busy making some more.  I could only make 6 since I could only find one sheet of the gold star paper that was in an Army paper pad.   It's late or I'd dig through papers to find some more, or something like it...   after tucking the cards in envelopes and if I still need more, I will find some then.

Here are all six of the cards I made:

**NOTE:  I have received some questions about the embossed layer that is on the card.   It's a 5 Bar  Card Panel.  I purchased boxes of these (in different sizes, ie: 4, 5 and 5.5 Bar) at XpedX when we were in El Paso, TX.   They are something that you probably could find at a local printer or paper supplier.  The 5 Bar  is my favorite because they measure 4" x 5 1/4" and make easy toppers for cards.
