Thanks for Being You” Card with Charming Day Bundle

Hello Crafting Friends!

I’m absolutely loving the Charming Day Bundle for creating elegant thank you cards! This design showcases how beautifully the floral images layer together, and I added some fun texture with embossing to make the white-on-white elements really pop. The combination of the delicate Designer Series Paper with that bold magenta flower creates such a striking focal point. It’s one of those cards that looks complex but comes together surprisingly quickly – my favorite kind of project! The “Thanks for Being You” sentiment is perfect for those special people in your life who deserve a handmade card that shows you care.

To begin, I cut a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock to 11″ x 4 1/4″ and folded it in half using a Bone Folder for a sharp crease. Next, I cut another piece to 5 1/4″ x 4″ and embossed it with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder before adhering it to the card base. I then cut a third piece to 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ and attached it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add a little pop.

For the top layer, I cut three strips: a right strip of Basic White Cardstock measuring 3 7/8″ x 3/4″, a left strip measuring 3 7/8″ x 1 1/4″, and a center strip from the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (DSP) measuring 3 7/8″ x 3/4″. I embossed all three strips with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and added them to the card front (see picture for placement).

I stamped the flower image and sentiment with Tuxedo Black Ink, then die cut them using the coordinating Charming Days and Stylish Shapes Dies. I colored the images with Stampin’ Blends—Berry Burst for the flower, Mossy Meadow for the leaves, and Daffodil Delight for the flower center.

I positioned the circle sentiment 1 3/4″ down from the top of the card. Then I attached another horizontal strip of the same DSP (2 7/8″ x 3/4″) across the panel, overlapping the bottom of the circle. Finally, I adhered the flower image to the left side of the top panel.

For the card interior, I attached a piece of Basic White Cardstock (5 1/4″ x 4″), added a strip of Basic White (4″ x 1″) embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, and included a piece of the same DSP (6″ x 2 1/4″) used on the front.
