Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Emboss the Background

   • Ink the inside of the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink.

   • Place the Basic Beige cardstock (4" × 5¼") inside and run it through your machine.

   • Use the third largest rectangle die to cut out the center, leaving only the embossed frame.

2. Create the Blue Frame

   • Using Blueberry Bushel cardstock (3" × 4½"), cut with the third and fourth largest rectangle dies together.

   • This gives you a thin frame—set aside the center cut for another project.

3. Stamp & Color the Focal Image

   • On the Very Vanilla (3" × 4½"), stamp the largest flower image.

   • Color with Old Olive and Calypso Coral watercolor pencils.

   • Blend using a blender pen, water brush, or Wink of Stella for a soft watercolor look.

4. Assemble the Layers

   • Adhere the Blueberry Bushel frame to the stamped Very Vanilla piece with liquid glue.

   • Attach this panel to the Very Vanilla card base.

   • Add the embossed Basic Beige frame on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals for depth.

5. Add the Greeting

   • Stamp the sentiment on the Calypso Coral cardstock strip.

   • Die cut with the long skinny rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies (trim as shown in the video).

   • Adhere to the card front.

6. Finishing Touches

   • Scatter Antique Pearls across the card front for a soft, elegant accent.

Inside & Envelope

• Stamp the inside sentiment with Early Espresso ink.

• Add the smallest floral stamp inside and color with watercolor pencils, blending with Wink of Stella.

• Stamp the same small flower on the envelope to tie the project together.

This creates a coordinated, elegant “Thinking of You” card with beautiful layers and soft texture.
