AND today’s post too!

Chari has beautiful inspiration for today! She shows us how to make a coordinated set of Thank You cards in today’s video tutorial. You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching! Now let’s check out more Design Team inspiration!


Chari‘s beautiful set of four thank you cards uses one sheet of Rainbow Ever After Fairy Godmother paper to make the ombré colored backgrounds. Then she also used bold die-cut thank you greetings with Backyard Bird Feeder and Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On images.

This first card features Tree Branches Backdrop: Portrait with Giant Outlined Thanks for the thoughtful message.


For this card, Chari used Tree Branches Backdrop again but the landscape version. She added cute squirrels, colorful leaves and Giant Thank You.


She switched up the design a bit for the next two cards, using Lacy Rectangle Stackables. Giant Thanks So Much fills the card with a little help from the cute birds!


And this card is so pretty with a unique design. Again, she used Backyard Bird Feeder, this time with Scripty Thanks!


Audrey created a stenciled design that is so full of gorgeous color! She used Daisy Bloom Background Stencils and Distress inks to cover the Outside In Stitched Rectangle. Her Giant Outlined Thanks greeting is bold in black and white. And for detail she added black hearts from Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag and some black splatters. So beautiful!


Megan‘s interactive Pull ‘n Slide Surprise features a charming Crazy Antics scene!


I love how she arranged part of the scene on a vellum circle so the clouds and speech bubbles “float” above the card. And she hid the adorable thank you sentiment under the slider to be revealed when the card pops up!


Yainea’s card is so fun combining stamped images with Book Club Washi tape to create a cute classroom. She used images from Little Woodland Library Friends with the chalkboard from Simply Celebrate Graduation. Her thank you sentiment combines So Much to Say with So Owlsome.


Mindy‘s whimsical card is so “fangtastic! She combined Fangtastic Friends and Fangtastic Friends Add-On with the wonderful new Tree Branches Backdrop: Landscape to send a sweet and clever thank you!


Tammy‘s cute teacher thank you card gets right to the point! Her pencil design hides a gift card behind the scalloped window “chalkboard”. The Little Woodland Library Friends add so much cuteness!


Oh wow! Marine‘s Pull ‘n Slide Surprise card is just amazing! Using bright colors and the cute images of Smooth Sailing she made a memorable Father’s Day card! She included cute critters and banners from Fly High and water splashes from Beary Rainy Day. And the lighthouse “island” is a rock from Wild Wolves, so clever!


The thoughtful sentiments are visible when the slider is pulled up! At the top she spelled out dad with Finley’s ABCs, adding a sentiment from Smooth Sailing. Then at the bottom under the slider there’s a die-cut “thanks” (from Pull ‘n Slide Surprise) with another sentiment from Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!


Marine created the ocean themed background with Ocean Wave Stencils, Cloudy Stencil and Rainy Sky Stencil.


Latisha‘s thank you card is so “fairy” sweet! She combined Spring Flowers Backdrop and Fairy Friends with a pretty pastel color palette!


Elise created a simple background, stenciling stratus clouds with Grassy Hillside Borders layered on top. Then she arranged a cute Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On scene and a message of thanks!


Elena‘s design sends a thank you message with Giant Sending Big Hugs! It fills the card with just a Stratus Cloud stenciled background and Grassy Border. Extra cuteness comes by way of the Backyard Bird Feeder and Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On squirrels!


Perfect for thanking special teachers, Grace‘s Pull ‘n Slide Surprise cards are so clever! She started with Really Rainbow True Blue paper for the rainbow lined notebook paper, so appropriate for a school themed card. Then she die cut the cute Outside In Stitched Apple to fill with fun details. The mouth and cheeks are from Stitched Sun Frame and the mortarboard and glasses are from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On.


Grace used Big Scripty Words stamps and coordinating die to add thanks along with a sentiment from Thanks a Bushel. I love the A+ from Henry Jr.’s ABCs.


I love how Grace filled the glasses with Holographic 2.0 cardstock! It is such a clever detail that makes this design so special! She stamped the sentiment from Apple-solutely Awesome to be revealed when the slider is pulled.

  2. I love to use the stamp sets as much as possible, so creating multiple cards with one set is my fav way to use the set for all its worth!

  3. I often use a set of stamps/dies to make multiple cards. Instead of making them identical, I will change the colors and layout design.

  4. I usually make a card for a specific occasion and a specific person. So far I haven’t gotten to making coordinated card sets

  10. I love to make multiples of a card set, but I find I get bored if I make too many of the same thing at once, so when I make multiples I limit it to 4-5 of a single design, but make up multiple designs to get the quantity of cards I need for an occasion, while still enjoying the creative process.

  16. I honestly haven’t made sets since Duh Nuh came out and we were into the 4bar size mini note cards. I should do it again 🙂

  21. if i try using multiple sets at once i tend to get mixed up with all the stamps and dies. but my finish product typically is worth it! and the extra stamps always tend to add a little more to the completed card.

  24. I love making coordinating sets. I do this often! It helps build my card stash and also allows me to play with the same materials in different layouts.

  25. I usually make one of a kind cards, but after seeing the coordinating set ideas, I plan on trying it very soon. Thank you for always giving me new ideas to try.

  27. I love coordinating my sets – it’s the reason I love LF so much! I coordinate everything , down to personalised gift bags/wrapping paper and gift tags using the same sets!

  29. I would love to make a set of coordinating “thank you” cards!! Each a little different but the same idea.

  30. I need to make a stack of Thank You cards to take with us on our river cruise. I did that when we went on a tour of NFLD/Labrador and people LOVED them.

  32. When I make cards I usually make two or three of the same card, but I was just saying the other day to my husband that maybe I need to make a card set to give as a gift for someone who is always asking me to make them cards

  33. Yes, I like coordinating sets very much!! I love to gift sets of cards that are all similar but not 100% the same.

  35. I don’t think I’ve ever made a set. I usually do specific cards for specific people or occasions.

  42. Done it a couple of times and would like to do it more often, but I just keep forgetting… 😂

  43. I have made many a card sets in the past for Christmas presents, but TAG sets are my new favorite gifty thing to make.

  51. I have never made a coordinating card set, but I like the look of them. I might have to give it a try.

  54. Yes, I make coordinating cards sets all the time. I find it helps save time making multiple cards at the same time.

  56. I make a coordinated set of cards for various occasions for my mother in law’s birthday every year. I usually make a coordinating gift box or folder too.

  57. I do love those coordinating card sets that you can make with Sheetload of Cards. It’s cute when everything is matchy-matchy.

  61. I tend to make sets of the same card to save time, but I don’t usually give them as a set. Maybe I should! 😀

  62. Yes, if you mean like the thanks set. I loved how Chari put them together. It was fun to watch and now fun to do.

  72. I like making unique cards, I don’t typically do multiples. I LOVE all these samples especially the DAD sailing one!

  74. I typically make single cards- love the idea of a set but I come up with too many different ideas to make a whole set

  76. Though I might start out thinking I’ll make a set of cards, I always blow it—something doesn’t cut out well, or is mis-aligned when glued. Always. My attempts are still at this awkward “almost” stage. Phooey.

  79. I like the idea of coordinating card sets, I just am usually making one for specific events most of the time.

  80. Wonderful cards! I do like making a few extras when I have the stamps and dies out! Easier to stamp and cut multiples if I have the time, and making variations for a coordinating set keeps it more interesting.

  82. I have not made any coordinating card sets. I barely have time to make the individual cards I make for friends and family.

  85. I definitely make coordinating cards particularly when I want to do a one sheet wonder and get 12-16 cards out of one sheet of patterned paper. Instead of making them all the same, it’s nice to change the design a bit, but they are still a matching set.

  87. Yes, I like making coordinating card sets. I also LOVE how Chari showed us how to “economize” with cutting one sheet of 12X12.

  88. I don’t usually make matching sets, but I do like to make multiples while I have all the supplies out! Changing them up a bit with sentiments/colors too 🙂

  91. I sometimes make a couple of cards using the same stamp and die set and paper but change design or layout so that would be coordinating but not identical. Stuff is out so keep creating

  100. I’ve only made a coordinating set of cards once, for my toddler’s teachers. I don’t know if I’m a fan yet 😂

  101. I don’t make coordinated card sets but I do make multiple of my cards. Five for a card making group I belong to and extras for the lots of birthdays in my family

  102. It depends….. Sometimes, I need to mass produce several of the same card and assembly line it. Sometimes, I want to use up all the pieces and scraps I’ve because by making one out two cards.

  106. I do enjoy making coordinated cards…and I especially like to make Thank You cards. Love all of this inspiration!

  107. I haven’t made a card set, but do make several cards with a similar theme to get multiple uses from my stamp sets.

  151. I do like making multiples when I find a design I love and then I differ with colors and go between side and top opening.

  158. I do like to make coordination card sets. I especially like it to make a gift set for a friend.

  160. I never seem to have the time to work on projects like a “set of cards”, but I sure do have a ton of ideas in a notebook. I do have a surgery and 2 weeks off of work coming up…perhaps I will attempt to put those ideas into paper (and stamps and dies). 😏

  162. It takes me so long to make my cards due to my disability…often taking 2-3 days to make each card because I have to take so many breaks. So I’ve never attempted to make a coordinating gift set of cards because of this. I would love to be able to though 😉💕🤗.

  166. I guess you could call the cards I make for the multiple February and April birthdays in my life ‘coordinating card sets’. It just makes it easier when I have to make so many cards at once to have them similar to each other.

  171. I love to make several of the same card. currently working on 10 graduation cards, only difference is the background color.

  174. I like to stamp, color, and cut a lot of similar images at once and that is an easy way to make coordinating cards. Lawn Fawn critters are the cutest!

  187. I have never made any coordinated card sets, I like to think new each time I sit down to craft. It would save a lot of time to make them though…

  188. I usually am so focused on creating the card I am working on that o haven’t thought about coordinating. I do like the idea of making multiples of a card as I am doing it. Stamping something in multiples helps to keep the creativity going!

  192. I love using stamp sets, the misti was a game changer for me, I can mass produce with ease. Then add different personal touches.

  195. What a great question about making coordinating card sets! I have never made a set but that’s food for thought.

  201. Yes, I like to make coordinating card sets. I don’t lately but need to do it again. THANKS for reminder!

  203. I love making coordinated gift sets and wish I would do it more often. Thank you for having a “thank you” theme. Second to birthday cards, thank you cards are always what I seem to need a lot of.

  205. I like to do coordinating cards if they are a gift, but otherwise I like to just free flow my style

  211. No, I don’t make coordinating cards but I like how they look when others do and wouldn’t mind giving it a try sometime!

  213. This isn’t something I’ve done before, but it’s something I’d like to try. I have family members who I think would appreciate them as gifts.

  217. I just stamped a bunch of the bird feeder set last night in preparation for coloring with Copic markers. Such a cute set and I love to mix in critters from other sets and give card sets to friends.
