Some days you just need a card that says it all—and this “Just Because I Appreciate You” card does exactly that. I created it with the Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!, and I love how soft, layered, and heartfelt it feels.
The suite’s gorgeous florals and gentle textures do a lot of the heavy lifting here. I paired a striped panel with vellum for a bit of softness, then added leafy die-cuts for dimension. The large “because” sentiment is the real focal point—bold enough to stand out, yet still elegant thanks to the coordinating dies.
Little details bring everything together: pearls, linen thread, and that subtle floral background from the designer series paper. It’s one of those cards that’s simple in intention but looks beautifully finished.
The best part? I’ve put together a free tutorial so you can create this card right along with me! Whether you’re new to cardmaking or already love working with the Brushed with Beauty Suite, this project is a great one to try.
