Today I’m highlighting two of my “go to” retiring stamp sets: Definitely Dahlia Background Stamp Set and One Big Meaning Stamp Set. I love the bold design of Definitely Dahlia and the variety of pretty fonts and ways to say “thank you” in One Big Meaning!
Get them before they are gone! Also retiring and used on today’s card: Chocolate Chip Ink (and all Chocolate Chip coordinating products – See Stampin’ Up! Color Revamp), Lemon Lime Twist 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon, Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper (on envelope flap). Learn all you need to know about retiring Stampin’ Up! products here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Create a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Crumb Cake card base using the Stampin’ Trimmer. It cuts and scores. Layer a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock on top.
Stamp Dahlia (Definitely Dahlia Background Stamp) in Chocolate Chip ink on a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White Designer Series Paper. Wrap it with a piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon and tie in a bow. Adhere to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the thank you sentiment (One Big Meaning Stamp Set) on a 3″ x 1 1/4″ piece of Whisper White card stock. Adhere to card over ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere a Lemon Lime Twist pattern from Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper to the flap of a Medium Whisper White Envelope. Remove excess with Paper Snips, using the underside of the flap as a template.

Thanks for featuring the dahlia stamp and the “thanks” collection. I love the dahlia, but i don’t use it enough. I like your take on it and I will be pulling it out of the stamp cabinet immediately!
Thanks, Karren. I’m glad you own it and can make a card right away!
I have to say that this color combination is outside my comfort zone, but that’s what I enjoy about reading your blog and others who are so creative and can show me new ways. If I received it, I would be thrilled. So why not make one like it? That’s a great question for me. Have a great Saturday, Mary, and keep the creative juices flowing.
Hi HJ . . . Thanks for your comment! I started with Powder Pink and it was beautiful. However, it felt too feminine for a thank from “all of us.” The combination with Lemon Lime Twist is pretty striking in real life.
Your cards are so beautiful!
TY for sharing your artistry and ideas.
Thanks, Florence. That makes me smile!
Simple – and simply stunning. This Dahlia always floors me, and I love what you’ve done with it here. <3
Thanks, Brian. It’s such a pretty and artful background. Brings the sentiment to life!
Thanks, Kadie. Lemon Lime Twist is a bit of a challenge to photograph and get true. I like the combination with Chocolate Chip in real life even more!
Simply Charming my friend. LOVE the color combination.
