Hello Reader,

Spring is blooming in today’s card project! 🌷 I’m featuring the Sunshine & Tulips Bundle and turning yesterday’s FREE card sketch into a bright, clean & simple design you can easily recreate. Even better—I’ve included a FREE tutorial so you can follow along step-by-step and make it your own!

NEW product spotlight: sunshine & tulips bundle

Today’s card creation is brought to you by the Sunshine & Tulips Bundle (item … and I’m officially obsessed! These tulips are so easy to stamp, layer and the coordinating dies make cutting a breeze. I especially love how the simple tulip shapes are perfect for clean & simple cards, but still feel finished and eye-catching.

And can we talk about that sentiment? “If friends were flowers, I’d pick you.”​
It’s just the cutest little touch for spring cards, happy mail, and thoughtful handmade notes.

I cropped the Thinking of You sentiment with the Textured Notes Die, then shortened the die to fit using my favorite quick trick—shown in the WOW! Video below.
