Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for December as we showcase beautiful Thank You cards to help inspire you. Thank You cards are one of the most important cards you can send to the people in your life and we hope that our projects and ideas will help encourage you to create your wonderful cards. You will have the opportunity to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world as the share their amazing Thank You cards. One of my favorite ways to create pretty Thank You cards is with designer series paper. For today's card design, I chose to use one of the beautiful designs from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I am so sad that this pretty paper is retiring, so I am making the most of the opportunity to showcase it while it's still available. I paired it with the coordinating Nature's Harvest stamp set, with one of my favorite techniques, Heat Embossing. I love the way the White embossing powder pops against the Misty Moonlight cardstock and coordinates with the pattern in the designer series paper. This wonderful clean and simple card design is perfect for creating multiple cards to have on hand in your stash, just waiting for that moment when you need a special Thank You card.

The designer series paper card front provides a wonderful background for the card and helps make the Misty Moonlight labels stand out. I love how the White embossing steps up this card design and I used the Light Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends Marker to color a piece of the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to embellish the card. To finish off the design, I added three of the Opal Rounds for a touch of bling.
