Send Smiles with the Textured Notes Stamp Set

Send smiles with the Textured Notes Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! and a splash of cheerful color! If you’re looking for a fresh and fun way to say thank you or send a little note of appreciation, this simple yet stunning card design will absolutely make your heart happy. I’m so excited to share today’s project featuring the beautiful stamps from the Textured Notes Stamp Set, paired with a bright new In Color combination and a sweet little twine detail for the perfect finishing touch.

The Textured Notes Stamp Set is quickly becoming one of my go-to sets for fast, elegant cards that still have a ton of personality. With its delicate botanical images and lightly textured accents, it’s so easy to layer colors, textures, and sentiments to create something that feels personal and polished without being fussy.

For this project, I started by layering Basic Beige cardstock onto a simple white card base to keep everything soft and neutral. Then I stamped the leafy images in Summer Splash and Basic Beige, layering them together to create a beautiful, organic backdrop. The textured woven image was stamped in Timid Tiger—this bright, happy orange really brings the whole card to life!

The sentiment, “a little note of appreciation,” was stamped onto a strip of Basic Beige cardstock and popped up over the colorful background. To add a little extra charm, I wrapped Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine around the panel and tied a small, relaxed bow just under the sentiment. It’s a small touch, but it adds that warm, handmade feel that makes a card even more special.

What I love about this project is how easy it is to swap out colors and sentiments to fit any season or occasion. You could easily recreate this layout with fall tones, winter neutrals, or spring pastels—the Textured Notes Stamp Set is that versatile! Make sure you check out my Color Combination Library which is sure to have a color combination you’ll love!

If you want a card that feels fresh, fun, and heartfelt (without needing a ton of supplies or complicated techniques), definitely give this design a try. The bright pops of color and layered textures make it a true joy to create and to send. Happy stamping!

1. Fold the Basic White cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
2. Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock to the front of the card.
3. Using the 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ Basic White cardstock, stamp the “basket” image in the center of the card using Timid Tiger ink, stamp again 2 more times without reinking the stamp.
4. Stamp the large leaves above and below the “basket” images using the Basic Beige ink pad.
5. Stamp the smaller leaves as shown in the sample using Summer Splash ink.
6. Wrap the Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine around the White cardstock and tie into a bow on the left side.
7. Using Timid Tiger ink, stamp the sentiment onto the 3/4″ strip of Basic Beige cardstock, slightly to the left of center. Tear off about a 1/4″ inch from the right side of the sentiment strip. Adhere to the card, overlapping the twine, using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
