Thank You Card Sets by Michelle


Michelle Giraud has been having fun playing with the new Take 2 Stickers from SRM!  She loves how each sheet has 12 circles and 4 12" borders for making lots of card sets.   Today we feature 2 different sets both using the same sticker, the Thank You Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen.  Michelle said that the variety of stickers on this sheet made it easy to create cards with different looks.  Love them both! Here's the sticker she used.

The first set Michelle created is so pretty and sweet pairing pink and blue Punched Pieces for mounting her stickers and SRM's 4" white doilies.  These cards were designed to used No. 6 3/4 security envelopes that measure 3 5/8" x 6 1/2".  She loves to use this size since they are less expensive that A2 envelopes and offer a different card shape from the norm.

Using a 3 1/2" x 6 card size, Michelle gets 3 card bases out of a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.  Simply cut at 7", then cut that piece in half so you have 2 pieces measuring 6" x 7" to fold in half for a long, short card.  The remaining piece can be cut to 3 1/2" x 12" and folded in half for a tall card.  Michelle loves the variety of shapes and sizes.

Love all the different ways that Michelle used her doilies!  The one doily cut in half to make it look like it wraps the card.  The one below is folded in half to give a bit of dimension to the card.  {{SIGH}}

And love how Michelle decorated her envelopes using the borders on the Take 2 Sticker sheet.

For her second set of cards, Michelle used a bold color scheme but used the same stickers.  Instead of the pink thank you she used the teal.  She used bold orange Punched Pieces and used lots of borders from her Take 2 stickers to decorate both the cards and the envelopes.

Love the bright, bold look of these cards and the simplicity of making them.

All you need is a bit of pattered paper and cardstock in blue and white.  The stickers do the rest of the work and the Punched Pieces minimize your work as well.

Simply love this set.  Great idea Michelle!  With one sheet of Take 2 Stickers she's made 6 cards and enough stickers left over to make 6 more!  Or to use on a coordinated gift bag or box!
