Thank You Gift Set

Need a small present in a hurry, make a group of cards with a coordinating holder and you have a nice
gift set ready to go.  I always try to keep some on hand because you never know when you might need them.

I used all of the new In-Colors to make this gift set. For the cards I embossed the top layer, sprayed it with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (hard to see in the pictures), and added the coordinating ribbon. The holder was made with a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 Peach Parfait cardstock cut down to 6 1/2 x 11 and scored on the bottom to create a base, and then punched on top for the ribbon. The cards while simple, are still pretty, and would be perfect for a man or a woman.  Gift sets are also really nice to give to a bride to be, a new mother, or anyone you know who will need to send out a lot of cards for a particular occasion.  Change the sentiment to fit the event, use the person's favorite color or design, and you have a gift that will be put to good use.
