Written Tutorial for these Cards

Thank You Card

This first card is perfect for sending a sweet note of gratitude. I used Fresh Freesia for the card base and paired it with the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. The circular sentiment from Encircled with Love is stamped in Old Olive, and I love how the negative space creates a delicate leaf image.
​
To add a pop of color, I fussy-cut a flower from the patterned paper and layered it onto the circle. A little strip of DSP, tied with Linen Thread, finishes the look. This card is quick, simple, and oh-so-pretty!

Fun Fold Birthday Gift Card Holder

This fun fold design is such a crowd-pleaser — it flips open to reveal a pocket perfect for tucking in a gift card! The top flap folds over, allowing the sentiment circle to peek through for a clever closure.

I stamped the birthday greeting in Fresh Freesia, then stamped it again in Strawberry Slush on matching cardstock and cut out just the gift image. With a Stampin’ Dimensional and a rhinestone gem for a bit of sparkle, the present looks like it’s tied with a bow.
​
Not only is this card cute, but it’s also functional — ideal for birthdays, graduations, or anytime you want to give a little something extra.

Thinking of You Card

The final card has a rustic yet cheerful vibe, thanks to the Crumb Cake card base paired with Strawberry Slush. I embossed a strip of Strawberry Slush cardstock with the (retired) Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and tore the edge for extra texture. Pro tip: keep your fingers close together to control the tear!

​The sentiment circle is stamped in Strawberry Slush on Basic White, then stamped again on Pretty in Pink cardstock. I cut out the smaller heart and popped it up with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. A Linen Thread bow and a few rhinestones add just the right finishing touches.
