This card is special to me. Not just because it’s pretty (though I do love that gold veining!), but because of the story behind it. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, and it’s a powerful picture of how beauty can rise from brokenness.

The Inspiring Imperfections Bundle and dies are temporarily unavailable, but I still wanted to share this card as part of the Stampin’ Up!® Suite BOGO Sale. Other suite items are still in stock—and there’s no limit to how many 50% off items you can earn before the sale ends on June 30!

Handmade card featuring a kintsugi-style vase with gold veining, layered on navy embossed floral textures and soft patterned paper. Includes text overlay reading “Kintsugi-Inspired Handmade Card” and a callout to “Watch the heartfelt tutorial.”
