Cards in Envy - Thankful for You

Hello again!  It’s time for another challenge at Cards in Envy.  For the next two weeks, we have a super easy theme for you to follow:  Thankful for You.  That’s right – all you need to do for this challenge is to make an A2 sized thank you card (4.25″ x 5.5″) with no lumpy, bumpy embellishments so that it could be mailed at the standard postage rate.  See – I told you it was easy!  🙂

For my card, I’ve used the current layout from CAS(E) this Sketch!.  For the triangles, I cut a square of designer paper and coordinating mats from colored cardstock.  Then I cut the squares across the diagonal to get the triangles.  This allowed me the supplies to make two “twin” cards at once.  Yay!  After I adhered the triangles to the card bases, I trimmed off the excess from the vertical edges of the cards.  The cards are super simple in style, but I think they will be all right for Operation Write Home since the colors aren’t specific to any particular season.

If you need additional inspiration, please go check out the Cards in Envy site and see what the rest of the design team has made.  Then create a thank you card following our challenge guidelines and share it with us on the Cards in Envy site by 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, November 30.  We’d love to have you play along with us!  Thanks for stopping by today.
