Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for April as we showcase Thank You cards to help inspire you. Talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world are sharing their projects and ideas that will help you to create your own beautiful projects.
For my card design, I decided to create a "No Stamping" card using products that will soon be retiring from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Merry Merlot is sadly leaving us and I love the richness of this color and thought I would add Gold Metallic die cuts to create the design for my card. The tone on tone design of the designer series paper creates a pretty background and I embossed the focal panel using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture.
