Today, I’m thrilled to share a special project that’s all about saying “thank you” in style. This card is perfect for expressing your gratitude, featuring a vibrant mix of colors, textures, and a heartfelt sentiment. If you’re looking for an easy yet elegant design, this project is for you.
The card begins with a base of Azure Afternoon cardstock, chosen for its bright and cheerful tone. This color sets a lively backdrop that pairs beautifully with the rest of the elements. I wanted to keep the design simple yet impactful, so I opted for a layout that uses three panels. Two of these panels showcase the stunning patterns from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper, adding a burst of color and visual interest. The third panel is a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, which I embossed using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. The embossed texture gives the card a subtle elegance that complements the overall design.
At the heart of this card is the sentiment, “Thank you.” I stamped it in Night of Navy ink on a die-cut circle, making sure it stands out against the lighter background. To add a touch of sophistication, I wrapped some Navy Natural Tones Linen Thread behind the die-cut circle, giving it a bit of texture and dimension. The result is a card that’s both elegant and heartfelt, perfect for someone special. A coordinating envelope is pretty top-notch as well!
I made quite a few variations of the card with different cardstocks and Designer Series Papers. Take a look below and please let me know your favorite!
For those of you who enjoy step-by-step guidance, I’ve created a YouTube video where I walk you through the entire process. In the video, you’ll see how each element comes together to create this beautiful thank you card. I hope you’ll find the video helpful and inspiring as you create your own version of this card.

Why I Love This Template:
This card template is a wonderful example of how you can mix and match different elements to create something truly special. The combination of the bright DSP, the soft texture of the embossed cardstock, and the bold stamped sentiment come together to create cards that’re both elegant and cheerful. It’s a perfect way to say thank you to someone special!
