Thinking of You Card using Lovely and Sweet Bundle
Craft a thoughtful Thinking of You card using Lovely and Sweet Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. This Bundle is perfect for showing someone you care! It offers the perfect elements to create a card that says ‘I’m thinking of you’ in the most beautiful way. With images of flourishing vanilla, cocoa, and almond plants, your card will be a delightful surprise for anyone needing a bit of cheer.
For this card, I wanted a more eclectic look, so I chose the Perennial Lavender Designer Paper and pulled my colors for this card directly from the Paper. I love how it turned out, but if you’d prefer a different look, definitely check out my Color Combination Library which will provide you with some different combinations.
This stamp set not only allows for creative expression through coloring but also provides sentiments that resonate with your message. Paired with the Lovely & Sweet Dies, your card will boast intricate details that elevate its overall aesthetic, making your thoughtful gesture even more memorable. Let me show you how to craft your way into someone’s heart with this beautiful card!

A Tip from Barb
This card uses a variety of Dies which makes this card look more difficult than it is. By combining different dies together, you end up with a beautifully cohesive look that works primarily because of the gorgeous Designer Paper. I hope you’ll give this card sketch a try — using different papers will create a totally different look!
