Thank You with Heal Your Heart

Today’s card started as a bold and graphic design – I was ready to make this cutout from the Flowering Vine Dies pop on a card. As I played with the cutout and layered in soft, sweet colors to coordinate, though, the bold design quickly became a soft, sweet one. Simple layering and a lovely sentiment really softened this cutout and gave me a card I’m happy to share. Here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Vine Design. This card started with the rectangular cutout from the Flowering Vine Dies, sold separately or as a part of the Vine Design Bundle. I cropped this rectangle from Pretty Peacock cardstock, and it sat on the edge of my desk for more than a week. During the week, I placed it over different patterns and colors to find a bold way to showcase the gorgeous cutout. In the end, I settled on a simple presentation that gave me just what I wanted. Here’s a look at the Vine Design Bundle: Vine Design Bundle, Stampin Up! 156266The last time I shared one of these dies was my Happy New Year card that kicked off 2021.

  • Soft, Sweet Color Combination. You already know how much I love blues, greens and aquas (the mix of blues and greens). While today’s card started with the cutout of Pretty Peacock cardstock, I wasn’t certain about how to frame it until I came across this trio of beautiful tones. Together, they are one of my all-time favorite color combinations. If you like this mix of Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference: Stampin' Up!
