Today’s card is clean and simple, using new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
I began by using a Wonderful Thoughts Die to cut the flowers from Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper. To give the flowers dimension, I used the same die to cut two more flowers from cardstock, and glued them together. The added thickness gives the flowers a nice “feel,” a technique I like to use.

You’re Wonderful
Next, I used a second Wonderful Thoughts Die to cut two skinny, colorful strips from Bright & Beautiful Paper. Then, I stamped the sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, and used the same die for cutting.

“You’re wonderful, you’re loved, you matter,” is long and skinny, so I placed the stamp on the die to make sure it was straight before cutting.

The three strips were glued to a Basic White Cardstock, cut with the third largest Deckled Rectangles Die, which I attached with Dimensionals. Prior to gluing and attaching, I gave the layer texture with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is one of three in a pack, that will be available in Online Exclusives the week of May 15.
To Complete the card, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut the first layer from Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
