Thinking of You Card using the Everyday Details Bundle
When words fall short, create a beautiful Thinking of You Card using the Everyday Details Bundle by Stampin’ Up! A handmade card made with this Bundle can bridge the gap, bringing warmth and comfort to someone special.
For this card, I wanted calm but happy colors, so I went with the beautiful color combination of Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, and Orchid Oasis. If you prefer a different combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, where you’re sure to find something you like.
This Bundle’s hand-illustrated line art and versatile dies offer a canvas for your creativity, allowing you to tailor your message of care and concern in a uniquely personal way. Whether it’s a friend going through a tough time, a family member you haven’t seen in a while, or simply someone on your mind, this blog post will guide you through creating a card that says “I’m here for you” in the most beautiful way.

A Tip from Barb
If you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine or the Everyday Details Dies, you can simply cut out a 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock for the vase focal image mat.
