The Me = Grateful stamp set allows me to create a simple thank you card for you using the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies that I used on Monday’s card. So different. So versatile. Here are the images for the Me = Grateful stamp set!

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- A bold message from Me = Grateful stamp set makes a statement on this simple thank you card.
- The coordinating interior stamp (also Me = Grateful) pulls it together.
- I used the absolutely gorgeous vine die from the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Builder Framelits Dies to crop the top of the card.
- I layered Old Olive leaves (Multipurpose Liquid Glue) into the negative space of the dies. This adds color and enhances the pattern.
- The final touch is a rich Night of Navy and White Stripe for the Envelope Liner.
- Hover and Pin it! Here’s a photo showing key products for today’s card that you can save or pin to Pinterest. See ALL my labeled product photos on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.

I thought, I want to learn how to make them come together like that. Then I really looked at the front and discovered your secret. Smart! I’ve tried to do this and it never comes out right. Thank you for showing me an easier way to do this effect.
WOW! Love it Mary❣
So nice to hear, Judi!
Mary your Me=Grateful card is stunning in every way. Love it and want to make one myself. Clean, neat and eye catching as always! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Carol!
Love, love, love the card, and am going to CASE it, but I’m curious how it went together! Paper sizes, layering, etc.?
Happy to help, Janice. My cards are typically Standard A2 (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) unless I note otherwise. That size is true with this card for the Night of Navy card base. The Old Olive layers (4″ x 5 1/4″) and Whisper White (3 3/4″ x 5″) are 1/4″ smaller in each direction. The width of the top Night of Navy card stock with the vine is 3 1/2″. The height varies based on where you crop with the die. M
This is a STRIKING card! Just love it! Very nice. I have long admired & appreciated your work. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts!
Very pretty card! Clean and elegant – will have to try that colour combo you have used, it looks great! Thanks for sharing, and starting my day with a smile:-)

Thanks, Frenchie and hang in there, Maria!
Beautiful card and layout Mary, the Botanical Builder dies are amazing, this border one really create stunning details.
I wonder if you know when this awesome dies will be back in stock, I’m desperate to get mine.
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Maria . . . the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies are expected to start shipping again approx. April 4. Soon!
Oh my gosh!! I can’t wait!!! I’m kicking myself in the you know what for waiting to place this order, I knew this was going to be a big ticket item. Grrrrr!! 🙁
I love this lay out Mary. The leaf framelit is so pretty on an angle like that with the old olive in the negative space. Beautiful
Yay, love the comments at the bottom!! This card is stunning! Love the neat and modern look.
Such a classic beauty! Love this combination of colors and use of this die. Love it, Mary!
Mary, That color combonation is beautiful. The vine die is so simple but beautiful. Many times it is the simple things that make us happy. Thanks for the inspiration.
It’s interesting that you mention simplicity relating to this card, Mindy. When I first looked at this die set, I could only imagine a lot of dies used at once – very pretty but busier than my typical style. Once I isolated individual shapes, fell in love with the dies and simple layering possibilities.
YOU = I’m Grateful For!
Your sweet comments are music to my ears this morning. Thank you.
This is absolutely stunning, classy and a show stopper. Your color combinations are gorgeous. Your use of one of the framelits from the Botanical Garden suite, is perfect. The stylized font on the front of the card works beautifully bringing everything together. TFS
Such a pretty card! Those colors together are just perfect!
