Most Used Theme

What card theme do use use the most? 

I use a lot of Christmas Cards and Thanksgiving Cards, but I think the card I use most is some variation of "Thinking of You".  I like to send cards to friends to lift their spirits, and this type of card is perfect for that. 

Too often I also have need of cards for friends and family who are sick.  To me, the standard "Get Well" sentiment is often too demanding and thoughtless.  Of course they want to get well!  They would if they could!  I suppose I feel this more as too many of my friends and family are dealing with serious issues - some terminal.  I'm not saying I never send a standard "Get Well Soon" greeting, but I tend to use that for less serious things like the common cold or recovery from minor surgery.  When it's serious, I'm much more likely to go with the Thinking of You theme.

Thinking of You can be a very versatile sentiment.  It can be serious - sent to a friend has lost a job, to a loved one you haven't seen in awhile, or to a friend who has just lost someone dear to them.  Or it can be more humorous, for instance - "Thinking of you surrounded by boxes" to someone who has just moved into a new home or "Thinking of you in your rocking chair at 2 in the morning" to someone who has just had a new baby. 

It seems to me that this greeting can be used for just about any occasion where you need a quick card, so I make a LOT of them. This post shows one I made with leftovers from a scrapbook page I had finished.  Purchased die-cut tags (I think they came from Paper Wishes) made it quick and easy. I just added a bit of ribbon. The sentiment was adhesive-backed vinyl that had been pre-cut on my Silhouette.  (As I've mentioned before, I like to pre-cut a bunch of sentiments with my Silhouette.  Not only does this usually mean I have what I need for a card I'm making, it also makes much better use of my materials because I fill the adhesive-backed sheet as full of sentiments as I can when I cut it.)
