Today I’m sharing a very thoughtful card – as it combines the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle with the Comforting Thoughts stamp set. Thoughtful Expressions is a gorgeous bundle with flowers, a hummingbird and beautiful sentiments in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. Comforting Thoughts is a sentiment-filled stamp set that will be in the Online Exclusives offering that will be released on March 5. Here’s the card I made:
I stamped the hummingbird and flowers on Thick Basic White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then cropped them with the coordinating Thoughtful Expressions Dies. Here’s a look at this beautiful bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog:
You’ll be tempted by the beautiful images and sentiments, but the incredible dies will win you over – they are so worth it!
I colored the hummingbird with a mix of Stampin’ Blends – a mix of Lemon Lime Twist, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Fresh Freesia and Pecan Pie. The flowers are colored with Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam. Here’s a closer look:
The simple sentiment on my card says a lot – “I’m so sorry” is all you need to say, and you have the entire inside of the card to write out your thoughts. The sentiment (like the one I shared earlier this week) is from Comforting Thoughts, a stamp set that will be available starting on March 5. Here’s a look a this stamp set:
I positioned my flowers and hummingbird against panels of Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and a Lemon Lime gingham pattern from the Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (SO love that paper!). I added three tiny, Parakeet Party pearls from the 2022-2024 In Color Pearls. If you love this mix of soft, sweet colors as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
