Monochromatic Teal Thanks Card featuring components of our April 2026 Card Kit!
Hello everyone! Heather Hoffman here today, and I have had so much fun playing with the April 2026 Card Kit: A Little Artsy – not to mention some of the amazing add-ons! I mixed and matched some elements from the kit, one of the add-ons, and a couple dies to pull it all together. Keep reading to find out more! (editor’s note: This card kit sold out super fast! Thank you! Fortunately, individual products to make this card are still available!)
The first part of this card actually happened by accident! I was playing with the Petal Lattice stencil (one of the add-ons), and trying to apply the Salvaged Patina paint in the kit through the stencil with a wide brush. Unfortunately, my efforts failed, and I ended up with a big blob of paint. However, as I looked at the paint still on the stencil, I wondered what would happen if I pressed it onto another piece of cardstock, kind of like a stamp. I placed a clean sheet of printer paper over the top to press it in place and avoid any smears, and when I peeled it back, I had that amazing background! So fun!
I really wanted to let that background shine, so I decided to keep the rest of the card fairly simple, and use monochromatic colors. I pulled out the Scalloped Rectangles die to create a border for that panel, then adhered both of those with foam tape on a cardbase created with some of the Audrey Blue cardstock in the card kit.
I stamped a sentiment from the A Little Artsy stamp set in the kit on a banner that I cut from a panel of cardstock with XL EZ Strips Banners die (these are great for just creating banners to stamp other sentiments on too!). I looped the Black Twine in the kit behind the sentiment, and adhered it with foam adhesive. Finished off with some perfectly coordinating Dazzling Gems in Surf for a touch of sparkle!
Have you ever discovered a new technique without meaning too? I love happy accidents like this!
