This thank you card uses the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!® in a fun fold layout that shows off both sides of the patterned paper. The stamped pears are colored with Darling Duckling and accented with Old Olive dots. Don’t miss the pink twine trick using the Petal Pink Braided Trim!

Painterly Pears + a Pink Twine Hack

This thank you card features the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!®—one of my current obsessions. The rich, moody colors are so dramatic, I’m even hunting down wallpaper for my living room that has the same vibe!

I used the small cluster of pears from the stamp set and stamped the insides with Darling Duckling, then added a sprinkle of Old Olive dots. Those tiny dots really bring the fruit to life. And see that twine? It’s a little hack! I pulled apart the Petal Pink Braided Trim to get individual threads that add soft texture and color.

Lavender Layers with Mixed Florals

Another thank you card, this one uses the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper paired with the Mixed Florals stamp set. The sentiment is from Label Me Grateful—a set I keep reaching for.

To match the lavender hues, I colored the tulips with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends. Then I used a light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend to outline the entire floral image, which helps those white flowers pop and tie in beautifully with the paper.

Create a soft and elegant thank you card with Perennial Lavender DSP and the Mixed Florals stamp set. The tulips are colored with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends and outlined in Crumb Cake to make the white petals pop. A beautiful way to highlight both sides of your patterned paper with a simple fun fold.

This no-stamping, no-sentiment card is perfect for summer! Made with the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!® and two-tone Pool Party cardstock, this fun fold lets the patterned turtle shine while subtly showing both paper sides.

Turtle-y Cute Without So Many Turtles

Sometimes you don’t love both sides of the patterned paper—and that’s okay! I wanted to use the fun, graphic patterns from the Turtle-y Cute DSP without featuring the turtles. So I switched things up and made a no-stamping card with two-tone Pool Party cardstock that adds subtle dimension with the folding.

The focal point is that adorable turtle in his floaty, swimmies, and goggles—fussy cut straight from the DSP. It’s a summer vibe in card form!

This thank you card pairs older Mediterranean Blooms DSP with a brand-new bundle--Label Me Grateful. The colors and patterns of this paper are timeless, and I love how the floral die cuts mimic orange blossoms, tying the whole look together.

Create a bold thank you card using Charming Day DSP with the Encircled with Love stamp set. This card in Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow includes a fussy-cut flower layered with the sentiment for extra texture and coordination.

Berry Burst & Mossy Meadow Beauty

Another thank you, this one uses the bold and beautiful Charming Day DSP alongside the Encircled with Love stamp set. The Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow combo gives it a punchy, fresh feel.
To add a little extra detail, I cut a flower from the DSP and layered it near the sentiment, echoing the leafy image from the stamp set. It’s a simple touch that makes the whole design feel intentional and cohesive.
