Coffee and a Card using Layered Thoughts Stamp Set
If you’re looking for a simple way to carve out a little creative time during a busy week, this project from Coffee and a Card using Layered Thoughts Stamp Set is a perfect starting point. It’s cheerful, beginner-friendly, and all about sending a little handmade sunshine to someone’s mailbox. And the best part? You can make it in under 30 minutes with just a few key supplies!
This is the exact card we made during this week’s Coffee & a Card—our casual midweek craft break on Facebook where we chat, sip on our favorite beverage, and make something wonderful. And this card? It checks all the boxes: a bright and bold “thank you” sentiment from the Layered Thoughts Stamp Set, happy floral paper from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, and those gorgeous new 2025–2027 In Colors—Pretty in Pink and Strawberry Slush. These two ink colors work beautifully together and give this card a vibrant-yet-soft look that feels like summer in an envelope.
The layout is simple, yet it feels a little extra special thanks to the layered panel design. The sentiment really stands out thanks to the oversized brushstroke font (seriously, how good is that bold “THANK” layered with a delicate “you”?). And a few sparkly embellishments add the final touch without adding bulk—so it’s easy to mail, too!
If you like this card, make sure you watch a recap of the live video, as well as the written Tutorial, which has all of the measurements and step-by-step instructions.

A Tip from Barb
If you want to use any of the other sentiments, just measure the stamp, add 1/4″ on each side for your neutral (in this case Basic White) cardstock. Then for the coordinating color cardstock mat, add another 1/4″ and you’ll have the perfect mat!
