Simple Thank You Card with Lovely & Beautiful

Laura Milligan Quick and Simple Card with the Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper - Laura Milligan

Sometimes the prettiest cards come together when you simply step back and let the paper shine.  For today’s quick and simple thank you card, I did exactly that. The Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper does all the heavy lifting with its soft florals, gentle colors, and effortless elegance. No fancy techniques required. Just clean layers, a sweet sentiment, and you’re done.

I paired the patterned paper with a sentiment from the Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set, framed perfectly using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. That die shape adds just enough detail to make the card feel finished without stealing the spotlight. A couple of small embellishments and this card is ready to brighten someone’s mailbox in minutes.

Product of the Month Highlight
The Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set is my Product of the Month, which means you can add it to your order for just $5 with a $75 purchase. It’s one of those go-to sentiment sets you’ll reach for again and again.

If you’re short on time but still want beautiful results, this is a perfect reminder that great paper and a good sentiment are sometimes all you need. Simple, pretty, and totally doable!

Measurements:

  • Basic White Thick: 4 1/4 x 11, scored 5 1/2, 3 3/4 x 5
  • Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper:  3 1/2 x 4 3/4, 5 3/4 x 2 1/4
  • Basic White: 2 1/2 x 2

  2. Adhere the Basic White panel to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

  4. Stamp the sentiment in Calypso Coral Ink.
  5. Crop with the smallest Beautifully Celebrated die.
  6. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  7. Embellish with Pearlized Faceted Circles.

3 Cards with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Create 3 Handmade Cards with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle by Stampin Up!

There’s something about floral cards that never gets old. They’re timeless, they’re flexible, and they always feel right no matter the occasion.  Today’s Facebook Live was a perfect reminder of that as I shared three handmade cards featuring the Lovely Arrangements Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Each of these cards uses the same core elements but takes on a completely different personality. From soft and airy to rich and dramatic, this bundle makes it easy to mix textures, layers, and layouts while still keeping everything beautifully cohesive. The stamped florals paired with the delicate die-cut details are truly the kind you’ll reach for again and again.

These products also happen to be featured in my Lovely Blossoms Card Class to Go. Everything is thoughtfully designed so you can focus on enjoying the process and building confidence with your supplies.

Registration for the Card Class to Go closes Saturday, January 31 at 12 PM ET, so if these cards caught your eye, now’s the time to grab your spot. I’d love to have you crafting right along with me!

Scroll on for more details about each card and how you can join the class before registration closes.

For the first card I made, I used the little petal die cut piece as a template, and used a sponge dauber with a Versamark ink pad to add ink to the card stencil – I then used Wow! Clear Embossing powder and my heat tool to add some texture to the card front.  It’s very subtle but I love the look!

I glued the two die cut panels to the card front.  I love, love, love the circle die!

I used a Secret Sea Dark Blend to fleck some color onto the card front.  I stamped and die cut the parts and pieces for the focal point and attached them to the card.   The tiny sentiment panel is one of the dies included in the bundle.  It’s a perfect match for the Happy Birthday sentiment!

The next card is the exact same card as above – but this time I used a palette of Secret Sea!  Which is your favorite? When I asked my FB Live views which they prefered, I got a mixed reaction – some prefered the white, and some prefered the Secret Sea.  It was fun for me to make the card in two different colors – it shows how versatile a layout can be with different colors used.  IT was a fun experiment!

The last card was a completely different take with this bundle.  I used the Square Snippets DSP for the die cut circle shape and alos the leaves.  The flower is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink and I love how it pulls from the die cut circle shape.

If you love these cards, then you will love my current Class to Go offering!  And what oculd be better on a cold winter day (it’s -8 here right now!) then cozying up with a cup of coffee or tea, and getting to stamp some beautiful cards!  If you are interested in the class, don’t delay – registration ends soon!
