Create a Rustic Thank You Card with the Textured Notes Bundle
If you love cosy, nature-inspired designs, this rustic thank you card is a project you’ll adore! Using the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes and Terrific Toadstools bundles, I layered warm textures, cheerful toadstools, and fresh greenery to create a card that’s perfect for expressing gratitude. Today, I’ll show you how easy it is to bring a rustic charm to your next thank you card with just a few simple techniques and supplies.
This card design began with a simple intention — to finally show some love to Shaded Spruce! I realised it hadn’t had much of a spotlight in my cardmaking, so I opened the ink pad and started stamping. From there, everything just came together. I pulled in coordinating colours that worked beautifully with the deep green tones.
The toadstools tucked perfectly into the scene, nestled among the greenery and bringing a whimsical, woodland feel. The Early Espresso cardstock grounded the design and added to the forest-like atmosphere. For a finishing touch, I added extra detail to the toadstools using Watercolour Pencils, giving them a soft, natural look that enhanced the earthy theme of the card.
CREATIVE TIPS TO ADD EXTRA DETAIL AND DIMENSION
- Blend ink over dark cardstock to create richness and depth in your background.
- Add splatters using ink or water to bring movement and texture to your design.
- Enhance stamped images with Watercolour Pencils for a soft, natural, hand-coloured effect.
- Blend colour onto die cuts for beautiful variation and a more organic look.
- Incorporate elements with different colours and textures — like leaves in varied shapes and lengths of pulled ribbon — to create visual interest and layered dimension.
