There’s something so special about sending a handmade “thinking of you” card—and this beauty captures that heartfelt sentiment perfectly. Featuring the stunning Garden Poetry Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!, this design lets Berry Burst take center stage in the most vibrant, eye-catching way.
The rich Melon Mambo background is dry embossed with the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder, adding texture and depth while keeping the design clean and cohesive. It’s a simple technique that creates such an elegant backdrop—proof that sometimes tone-on-tone can be just as impactful as bold contrasts.
A diagonal sentiment strip brings movement to the card and draws your eye right to the message. The soft white layer provides the perfect canvas for the scripted “Thinking of You” greeting, stamped in a coordinating Blueberry Bushel that beautifully complements the overall color palette. Layering the strip with the Garden Textures Specialty Foil Sheet adds just the right amount of dimension and polish.
Sweet floral accents frame the sentiment, tying everything back to the Garden Poetry theme. And let’s not forget those Garden Epoxy Dots —they add a playful pop of shine and bring the whole design to life.
