Today’s handmade card project is designed for those quiet moments when someone needs a little extra love and care. Whether it’s sympathy, healing, or encouragement, this card’s soft ink-blended background and peaceful silhouette say it all. I demonstrated two versions during my live stream: a simple design that’s quick to make, and a stepped-up version that adds shimmer, embellishments, and a layer. Both use the Stampin’ Up!® Prairie Grass Stamp Set—an Online Exclusives—and the vibrant Summer Splash Cardstock.
