Today, is all about sharing a delightful project that’s perfect for any occasion: three beautiful cards and a coordinating box to hold them along with their envelopes. We’re diving into the wonderful world of the Thoughtful Wishes bundle from Stampin’ Up!, which includes an amazing stamp set and coordinating dies. And here’s a little bonus – all bundles of stamps and die sets are 10% off during June. Since bundles are already discounted by 10%, you’re getting an extra 10% off – that’s like 20% in total savings! Now, let’s get crafting.
The first card features a Lost Lagoon base, layered with Mossy Meadow and Basic White. To create a sweet and textured background, I stamped a large plant image in Mossy Meadow ink on the Mossy Meadow layer.
For the top layer, I used Basic White cardstock, stamping it with beautiful flowering plants in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Adding a little extra interest, I used the splatter stamp with Lost Lagoon and Mossy Meadow inks over the image.
Once the splatter stamping was complete, the layers were adhered to the front of the card. The sentiment “Thinking of you fondly” adds a heartfelt touch. Inside the card, I added layers of Mossy Meadow and Basic White to keep everything coordinated and elegant.
Next up is a card with a Misty Moonlight base, layered with Basic Black and the stunning Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.
To add a bit of flair, I layered a gorgeous black die cut from the coordinating dies on top.
The sentiment “Thanks” was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White, cut at an angle on the right side, and framed with Basic Black cardstock. I adhered the sentiment with dimensionals for a little pop.
Inside the card, I included layers of Basic Black and Basic White to maintain the elegant theme.
The third card brings a warm and cozy feel with a Cajun Craze base, layered with Calypso Coral and topped with the beautiful DSP.
The sentiment “You Make Life Better” was cut out with the Everyday Details Dies using the second to smallest circle in Basic White.
To add some fun underneath the sentiment, I used two strips of diagonal trim in Petal Pink and White, lifting the sentiment with dimensionals. Inside this card are layers of Calypso Coral and Basic White to keep everything looking polished.
As a finishing touch, I added Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to some of the cards, because most everything’s better with a little sparkle!
Finally, we come to the box that holds these lovely cards. The box base is made from thick Basic White cardstock, while the top is Blackberry Bliss.
I used the DSP as a focal point on the box, framed by Fresh Freesia and Basic White. This box is as stylish as it is functional, perfect for keeping your cards organized or giving them as a thoughtful gift.
As a special thank you, I’ll be sending all the card guts, blank envelopes, and cut elements to anyone placing an order of $50 or more during the month of June. It’s my way of spreading the crafting love and sharing a bit of joy with you.
