Today I’m sharing a soft, elegant Best Wishes card I created with the gorgeous Layers of Beauty Bundle. This bundle is one of my favorites because of the way the stamps, dies, and layering stencils work together. They create beautiful, dimensional florals with just a bit of blending. If this bundle has been on your radar, now’s the time to grab it — it’s currently on the Last Chance List, which means it won’t be around much longer.
For this card, I wanted the flowers to have a bright spring feel, so I reached for the retiring 2024–2026 In Colors. Using Blending Brushes gave the flowers a soft, watercolor‑style shading I love. Each stencil layer adds depth and detail, which makes these flowers so pretty.
Once the blending was finished, I cut out the flowers with the coordinating dies. I die‑cut part of the floral cluster a second time and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals to give the bouquet a little extra pop. To let the flowers be the focus, I kept the background simple with a black layer on a Petunia Pop Two Tone Cardstock card base. I love how the contrast makes the florals really stand out. I finished the card with the “Best Wishes” sentiment, which works beautifully for birthdays, weddings, showers, or any moment that calls for a heartfelt greeting. Then added a few Iridescent Pearls.
This card came together quickly — that’s the magic of the Layers of Beauty Bundle. I hope it inspires you to pull out your inks and create something beautiful today.

Petunia Pop Cardstock Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score on the long side at 5-1/2″

For the Books Bundle was at the top of my mini catalog shopping list. I love books and had to have this set. The mini catalog sample is the inspiration for my slimline card. It reminds me of my bookshelf with stacks of books. I have books piled in my bedroom and my craft room too. You can never have too many books, right?!
The first thing I did was decide how to create the gold accents on the book binding. My first try was the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Write Marker and Wink of Stella. Actually, I’m not a Wild Wheat fan at all so I don’t have the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blend Marker. My second try was the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend and Wink of Stella. I thought this was too light, so I added the Ivory Stampin’ Blend Marker, which still wasn’t quite right. My third try, I use the Ivory first, then the Dark Daffodil Delight and last the Wink of Stella. Perfect!
The card base for my slimline card is Basic White Thick cardstock cut to 7″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 3-1/2″. I stamped the book images on to my card base with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them with quite a few Stampin’ Blends.
To create the shelves, I cut 1/4″ strips of Crumb Cake cardstock. To create the label, I used Masking Paper on several stamps to create the sentiment and die cut it with the Nested Essentials dies. I die cut a second label in Misty Moonlight, cut it in half and layered it beneath the sentiment, then added it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Of course, I had to add a little sparkle with the Glossy Dots.
